Tim Mitsch commented on PLC4X-137:
----------------------------------

we should usually return UNCONNECTED connections to avoid bug-tickets like PLC4X-143 or should check on a connect that this connection is not connected yet

> When using PLC4X from an application it is often times desireable to get the (syntactical) validation of a Field Adress or other things. This can, for many drivers, be done without being connected to a PLC.
> So we should give the PlcConnection Metadata Information which is already accessible without it being connected so that Clients can use all these features although they have no direct Connection to the PLC.
