04 Nov 2021: Alias mechanism looks promising
We managed to implement the Use Alias mechanism in the Edge and devices. This feature will be enabled by default but if wished could be disabled by the user. Why do you want to disable it anyway? Here is why not!
By disabling it you get poorer bandwidth usage i.e. you send more bytes over the line, encoding/decoding will be a slightly bit slower. Last but not least, disabling aliases takes more performance in finding a metric on its name...
Aliases thus provide better bandwidth usage, faster encoding and decoding and better CODESYS host performance in searching for the correct metric!
You had better leave it on default ;-)
