PLC4X Rust Implementation

This project implements Rust bindings for Apache PLC4X, focusing on the Siemens S7 protocol. The implementation aims to provide:

• Memory-safe, zero-copy protocol parsing using nom
• Async/await support for modern Rust applications
• High-performance industrial communication
• Type-safe protocol implementation

Current Status

• [x] Initial project structure
• [x] Basic S7 protocol types
• [ ] Protocol parsing implementation
• [ ] Connection handling
• [ ] Async support
• [ ] Testing infrastructure
