Automation Professionals is pleased to announce **beta** availability of the next significant feature of this driver: Arbitrary CIP attribute read/subscribe/write support via class+instance+attribute ID codes. If you have various devices in your facility that expose useful information this way (drives and servos...), the desired information can be read via class 3 messaging as part of the new Client driver. Note that I/O assembly buffers are attributes, and are therefore accessible with this new feature (including simultaneous reads with a PLC connection, for many devices). The driver also now extracts the EDS file and icon from a device during initial probe, if present and not already uploaded. This is in preparation for scaled parameter access. (Unscaled parameter access is supported by this new C/I/A addressing already.) ~~This feature is **not** released for production~~ , though testing with production hardware would be welcome. ~~v2.1.0.231291837~~ _Production Release Below_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-ethernet-ip-communication-suite-v2/68190)._
