Native UMAS driver for Modicon PACs

Word is out that active OFS development has stopped. OFS is the current high-performance driver for all Schneider Electric / Modicon PLCs, using its proprietary UMAS protocol. Communication using UMAS and OFS has many advantages over standard Modbus/TCP, like performance and name based variable access.

Idea business value

Since both Plant SCADA and Modicon are Schneider Electric brands, it would be in the company's interest to create a communication solution that offers the best performance available.
Even more value can be offered when the driver development and/or source code is shared with other AVEVA and Schneider platforms.
