Read Symbolic Names from Siemens PLCs instead of the Addresses

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Problem or use case

Read the "Symbolic Names" from the Siemens PLCs instead of defining the "Addresses" of the values in the PLCs. Reading addresses is considered a legacy method to read values but it seems HiveMQ Edge only supports this method, at least it asks me for an "Address" when configuring the Protocol Adapter.

Preferred solution or suggestions

Implement an option in the adapter to switch between "address" and "symbolic addressing" of values in the Siemens S7 PLCs.
