The Loadable Firmware DeviceNet V4 and v5 is released.
Both Firmware variants are developed newly from scratch and are based on the same DeviceNet core component. They feature a very similar API.
Therefore, the migration from a DNS V4 based application (netX 51/52) to a DNS V5 based application (netx 90) requires less effort.
