New mapp component for database interfaces

B&R optimizes data management with the mapp Technology software toolbox It is now easier than ever to implement databases in applications. With mapp Database, it is possible to archive data directly from [...] regardless of whether that database is located on site or in the cloud. This drastically simplifies the management of large volumes of data. Data archiving directly from the controller Manufacturing machinery generates [...] generates huge volumes of data, which must then be visualized, archived or passed on to higher-level systems. Giving mapp functions a database interface makes it possible to send data directly from the controller

PharmaEdge: FDA compliant and more than just SCADA

optimize the performance of their automation systems while simultaneously improving cost and energy efficiency. Instead of deploying separate control systems for process control, SCADA, energy monitoring [...] electronic signatures, batch reporting, access protection and central user management as well as audit trail and change management. [...] increasing demands of FDA compliance. PharmaEdge offers all the benefits of SCADA and a powerful control system in one device. With possibilities to add energy monitoring, condition-based predictive maintenance

Commission robots quickly and easily

the most commonly used robot kinematic systems. Not only does this allow users to commission robots much more quickly, it also makes maintenance and diagnostics substantially easier. The new robotic functions [...] familiar IEC 61131 programming methods. The robotic functions integrate seamlessly into the overall system, so there is no need for a dedicated robotics controller. Configuring, not programming The robot [...] operations such as jogging and point-to-point movement of the tool center point. Technicians can run diagnostics on the robot via the easy-to-use web interface. mapp technology consists of individually encapsulated

New freedom through IT-OT integration

Use any Linux code in an automation system The enhanced crossover Operating System (exOS) makes it possible to use any Linux code within B&R systems. This gives machine builders unprecedented freedom in [...] an array of diagnostics functions for installation and execution. The B&R system provides the user with a complete log of all error messages from both Linux and the controller operating system. High-performance [...] or Visual Studio, and then import it into the B&R system as an exOS package. This lets them use Automation Studio as a central engineering tool. Managing and debugging software solutions becomes simple and
