If you use the V2 beta instead of the stable version:

> Well, it wasn't simple. But it wasn't quite as bad as I feared. So, another beta: v2.0.2.230462332 Now I have to go back through all of my QC files before I'll call it an RC. I also switched the JSON exports to not use array tags by default. "Compact" versions of the JSON files are placed in the driver home folder if you'd like the original format.

Note that the purpose in _ **this** _ topic is to **emulate** a logix processor, not **connect** to a logix processor. Performed by different drivers within my module. Only the beta can **connect** to a logix processor.
