🗞️ Our univeral product support software has been updated to allow compatibility with our mini drivers for the AZ Series product family.

FYI: these Ethernet mini drivers use Modbus (TCP, UDP) protocol and works with single-board computers, like , , or and can be directly controlled using a programming language (ie: Python).

Changes:
✔️ Added Ethernet connection function for AZ Series mini drivers
✔️ Added Ethernet frame test function
✔️ Updated to comply with CC-Link IE Field Network Basic
