Idea for a module for the MatPLC:
The module would contact another copy of itself running on another MatPLC, and automatically configure exchange of data between same-named points.
Any point configured for writing would requested from the other end of the connection, while any point configured for reading would be offered to the other end. Any mismatches (writeable points not available from the other end, differing point sizes) would be logged as errors.
This means that the configuration is strict yet light - the best kind...
There would also be a stand-alone program which contacts the mat2mat module and asks it for all the points it's offering, displaying them on the screen in some interactive format.
Come to think of it, this last would be good locally, too (directly connecting to the MatPLC rather than over a network).
