- Supports access to ControlLogix L555x CPU's in remote racks. In versions prior to Studio 5.0 you applications were limited to accessing processor in the same I/O chassis as the Ethernet module.

property was in seconds.

completed the transaction. The behavior is similar to DLL function call that returns when operation is complete. For backward compatibility, the controls event handlers will still fire.
- Reports WINSOCK errors as related to Ethernet communications. Reporting WINSOCK Error codes helps diagnose and correct Ethernet communication issues.
- The license program has been enhanced to provide INGEAR PLC ActiveX and Driver version information.
