+### Per-tag scan groups
+
+Before PR-S7-C3, `ISubscribable.SubscribeAsync` took **one** publishing
+interval and applied it to every tag in the input list. A site that wanted
+mixed cadences — say a 100 ms HMI pulse, a 1 s dashboard tile, and a 10 s
+slow-poll for trend data — had to issue **three separate subscribe calls**,
+each with its own list of tags. That works, but it pushes the partitioning
+problem up to the caller (the OPC UA address space layer) and means an
+operator can't express "this tag is slow-poll" purely in driver config.
+
+PR-S7-C3 adds **per-tag scan groups** so a single `SubscribeAsync` call
+naturally splits into N independent poll loops:
+
+- `S7TagDefinition.ScanGroup` (string, optional) — the group identifier the
+  tag belongs to. Tags with no group (or with a group not declared in the
+  rate map below) keep the legacy behaviour and inherit the
+  subscription-default publishing interval.
+- `S7DriverOptions.ScanGroupIntervals` (`IReadOnlyDictionary<string, TimeSpan>`,
+  optional) — the rate map. Group names are matched case-insensitively. Any
+  group with a non-positive interval (≤ 0 ms) is silently dropped at config
+  load and tags falling back to that group land in the default partition.
+
+At subscribe time the driver buckets the input tag list by **resolved
+publishing interval** (per-tag group → map lookup → fallback to the
+subscription default), then spins up one background poll loop per distinct
+interval. Each loop owns its own `CancellationTokenSource` and its own
+`LastValues` cache; `UnsubscribeAsync` cancels and disposes every per-group
+loop together so a multi-rate subscription can't leak background tasks.
+
+#### JSON config example
+
+```json
+{
+  "Host": "10.0.0.50",
+  "ScanGroupIntervalsMs": {
+    "Fast":   100,
+    "Medium": 1000,
+    "Slow":   10000
+  },
+  "Tags": [
+    { "Name": "PressureSetpoint", "Address": "DB1.DBW0",  "DataType": "Int16",   "ScanGroup": "Fast"   },
+    { "Name": "BatchTotal",       "Address": "DB1.DBD10", "DataType": "Int32",   "ScanGroup": "Medium" },
+    { "Name": "TrendBucket",      "Address": "DB1.DBD20", "DataType": "Float32", "ScanGroup": "Slow"   }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+A single `SubscribeAsync(["PressureSetpoint","BatchTotal","TrendBucket"], 1s)`
+call against this driver produces **three independent poll loops** —
+the fast HMI tag ticks at 100 ms, the dashboard tile at 1 s, the trend
+bucket at 10 s. The caller-supplied 1 s default is unused because every
+tag carries an explicit group.
+
+#### 100 ms floor applies per partition
+
+The `100 ms` floor that protects the S7 mailbox from sub-scan polling
+applies to **both** the subscription default **and** every per-group rate.
+A typo'd entry like `{"TooFast": 25}` is silently floored to 100 ms at
+partition-build time — the driver never schedules a sub-100 ms `Task.Delay`
+even if the operator tries.
+
+#### `_gate` contention caveat — "1 connection / 1 mailbox"
+
+Partitioning into N poll loops does **not** parallelise wire-level reads.
+S7netplus's documented pattern is one `Plc` instance per CPU, and the
+driver enforces that with a per-instance `SemaphoreSlim` (`_gate`) that
+every read takes before touching the socket. All N partitions share the
+same gate, so the **mailbox is still strictly serial** — what the multi-rate
+split actually buys you is **cadence decoupling**:
+
+- Before PR-S7-C3: every tag ticked at the slowest configured interval (or
+  required three separate subscribe calls and three separate logical
+  subscription handles, complicating the address-space layer).
+- After PR-S7-C3: a 100 ms HMI tag isn't blocked behind a 10 s slow-poll
+  batch's `Task.Delay`. While Slow is sleeping, the gate is free and Fast
+  acquires it, polls, releases. The CPU sees more frequent small requests
+  rather than infrequent large ones — which is what you want for a
+  responsive HMI surface.
+
+The caveat to be aware of: if Fast's per-tick read takes longer than its
+tick interval (e.g. 100 ms tick but 200 ms gate-held read because Medium
+or Slow happens to be mid-read on the gate), Fast's effective cadence
+slows to "as fast as the gate lets me." That's a property of S7netplus's
+single-connection design, not of partitioning — three separate driver
+instances against the same CPU would just waste the CPU's
+8-64-connection-resource budget without speeding anything up.
+
+#### Diagnostics
+
+Partition counts aren't yet surfaced under
+`DriverHealth.Diagnostics` (planned for a follow-up alongside per-partition
+tick rate). Tests can call the internal helpers `S7Driver.GetPartitionCount`
+and `S7Driver.GetPartitionSummary` to inspect the resolved partitioning of
+a live subscription handle.
