Software

Programming, configuration and diagnostics of control, safety, visualization and drive technology can be handled using a single development tool – B&R Automation Studio. Automation Studio is the perfect choice for engineers looking for intuitive operation, extensive functionality and compatibility with international standards. During runtime, this cross-platform operating system ensures that components interact without each other seamlessly. Extensive and efficient diagnostic capabilities facilitate commissioning and reduce downtime. Automation Studio therefore supports machines and systems throughout their entire life cycle.

Programming

Automation Studio provides support for IEC 61131-3, ANSI C and C++. Extensive technology libraries simplify complex tasks. In addition, the integration of MATLAB® and Maple® products makes it possible to simulate the mechanics of the machine. Complete simulation – from the terminals to the drive – reduces the amount of time needed for commissioning.

Drives and motion control

Generic Motion Control makes it possible to program stepper motors and servo drives in exactly the same way, thereby unifying individual axes, CNC and robotics. And PLCopen operation provides very simple, yet powerful, access.

Operation and monitoring

Automation Studio offers integrated visualization for machines and systems of all sizes. The visualization application runs on the real-time system and can be accessed locally or via a remote connection. Multilanguage capabilities up to and including full UNICODE support indicate the high level of internationalization.
