Never used SNMP, as i see in the docs this is protocol works over UDP. Normally (in the previous project i have been working) i would connect over TCP (Modbus TCP) and have my client read/write according to the task.
As most things Erlang, i love the fact that they have a whole huge PDF explaining this. Thanks for sharing this. I definitely need some time to consume it.
Not sure if i would be able to use it (with an initial search, i see that a given PLC should also support this protocol) but as i see the concepts in this protocol seem to be really industrial grade, also, as i see in such a Network many different HW/SW devices can be connected and managed which is crucial.
PS The more i dig in to this project the more i feel less competent, in the past i just worked my way through with simple small apps, one task at a time. Now that i have the desire to build this correctly as a prototype i see that there so many more things i was not aware of their existence.
