The connector creates too many tags

Currently, the connector will create 124 or 248 tags per data source, regardless of how many meaningful data points are actually in the data set. This greatly limits the use of the connector to any customer that is not an EA.

Connector provides Timestamps

The EtherNet/IP protocol does not specify timestamps when data is transmitted, the connector currently assigns the timestamps base on when the data is being processed. This leads to the following issue, if the network/computer/etc gets busy, we w...
