Note: Please note that a technical limitation of the driver connections cannot necessarily be achieved by a single driver. Depending on the load and dimensioning of the system, number of data transfers, etc., it is recommended to divide the driver connections among several driver instances or distributed systems in order to reduce the individual load of a driver.
