The new release of Factory I/O 2.5.0 is now available for download. This release brings quality of life improvements when working with scene files, several enhancements to Modbus, OPC drivers and the driver window and an updated Factory I/O SDK for .NET Standard. We recommend all Factory I/O users to update to this latest stable release.
