Snap7 beside RevPi7 (an extra gear)

Hi everyone,
I accidentally discovered the existence of Revolution pi and it seems like a really interesting product.
I wanted to inform you that, for those who program in C / C ++ / Object pascal, Snap7 (Snap7Client or Snap7Server objects) can be used directly in your programs, as an alternative to RevPi7 services.
I believe (but I would like to confirm from the staff) that with the RevPi7 the Snap7-iot (unmodified) stock library is installed, if it is so, just write your own program and use the existing library by referring to the official Snap7 documentation (in the distribution you will find a PDF of 300 pages ;) ).
The advantage, for those who need it, is to have very high performances (5ms per telegram) obviously to the detriment of compatibility with RevPi7, so evaluate well if you need it.
However, I invite you to take a look at the site and documentation (the Snap7-iot section is specific to SBC cards).

Happy 2019
