New Features

• Beckhoff PLCs running TwinCAT 2 or TwinCAT 3 can now be connected with an experimental bridge template for the ADS protocol, reading PLC symbols either by change notification or on a fixed interval. ADS uses the same guided bridge UI as OPC UA, S7 and Modbus: symbols are edited in the address table, with optional per-symbol cycle time and max delay. Tested on CX7000, CX8190 and CX1020

Improvements

• All signup-related pages now consistently read "Sign Up" instead of a mix of "Setup", "Sign Up" and "Register".
• The buttons on an instance page now name what they act on: Config File is called Config Instance File, and Delete is called Delete Instance

Fixes

• Instances with many topics now show as online right away after signing in or reloading the page, while their topics keep loading in the background. They used to stay offline until every topic had loaded, which took longer the more topics an instance had.
• Long names, instances or descriptions on the data models page no longer widen the table until the Historian and row action columns sit behind a horizontal scrollbar. A value too long for its column is cut off, ending in a …, and shown in full on hover
