It's not uncommon for software projects to suffer delays during the development process. One reason for this is that the software itself is simply too complex and inflexible. Nevertheless, this process can be accelerated considerably by employing an…
At this year's Hanover Trade Show, B&R and the EPSG officially handed over the 500,000th POWERLINK system to the international packaging machine manufacturer MediSeal, a member of the KÖRBER MEDIPAK Group. With their main focus on the pharmaceuticals…
A targeted selection of current topics for machine and system manufacturing combined with a special series of presentations focused on POWERLINK recently brought 270 participants to Salzburg. In addition to insights into B&R's latest technologies and…
For complex machines and systems, B&R offers the ACOPOSinverter P84 with an integrated POWERLINK interface. It has a performance range of 0.37 to 500 kW. The P84 has a selection of onboard digital and analog I/O channels to control a wide range of…
Wo schnelle Achsen die Produktivität von Maschinen und Anlagen bestimmen und Maschinen- und Sensordaten in harter Echtzeit übertragen werden, ist POWERLINK das heute weltweit meistgenutzte Industrial Ethernet Protokoll. Allein im Jahr 2010 kamen über…
B&R and Maplesoft announced a partnership that will bring together products from both companies to save time, effort and cost for hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
Hardware-in-the-loop – or HIL – has been a proven element of model-based development for many years. Machine models developed in simulation tools like Simulink® or MapleSim™ are transferred via automatic code generation to a real-time environment…
Because of increased environmental awareness and to take advantage of new business opportunities, more and more machine and system manufacturers are choosing to implement innovative motion control technologies. If motors and drive components are…
Drive solutions that are tailored exactly to the application are essential to keeping machines and systems competitive. It's clear that inverters also need to leave the control cabinet behind and migrate to where the action is taking place. This…
Robots from Stäubli can now be directly operated with B&R controllers. This is possible thanks to a POWERLINK interface on Stäubli's uniVAL drives that allows Generic Motion Control programs from B&R controllers to be transferred to the robots. In…
