Dear RTCU User,
Welcome to this latest edition of the Logic IO Newsletter!
In this newsletter we have the pleasure to present quite
a long list of new software releases of major importance:
- RTCU IDE V5.70
- X32 Firmware V2.20 for the RTCU MX2i / DX4 and the new
AX9 Series
- RTCU Gateway Professional V1.25
- RTCU Upgrade & Deployment Server V2.20
- RTCU Programming Tool V6.31
- RTCU CSP V1.32
-
RTCU Communication Protocol
Documentation Set.
On the hardware side various accessories such as Ethernet/WiFi,
Bluetooth, Camera and 1-wire accessories are now available for
the new and exciting RTCU AX9 pro.
With the introduction of the
RTCU AX9 pro, the RTCU A9i is no
longer available. The RTCU AX9 pro is fully backward software
compatible and the hardware features are superior to the RTCU
A9i, so upgrading to the RTCU AX9 Series is quite straightforward.
Please read the
RTCU
AX9 Series Product Information Bulletin and the datasheet on
the RTCU AX9 pro
here for additional information.
The RTCU M11Gi and the RTCU A5i are now
announced with last time buy
and our stock of these products are therefore limited. The RTCU
M11Gi has already been superseded by the popular RTCU MX2i
Series and the RTCU AX9 eco will soon be introduced as the
alternative to the RTCU A5i and RTCU A9i.
Best regards,
The Logic IO Team
