Increased efficiency during development through physical modeling

-based development. At the same time, mapping out all of the dynamic characteristics of a machine can take up a lot of time. "Tools for physical modeling – for example, MapleSim™ from Maplesoft™ –provide [...] B&R. The open architecture of Automation Studio ensures that physical models designed in MapleSim™ can be transferred to B&R controller hardware in just a few easy steps. The result is a hardware-in-the-loop [...] in real time – in a completely safe testing environment. "Using MapleSim, Automation Studio users can very quickly develop high-fidelity models of the control plant, analyze the dynamics, and then generate

The future of mobile automation

interfaces for CAN, Ethernet and the real-time POWERLINK bus system. Maximum flexibility The extremely robust cast aluminum housing provides space for up to four expansion cards. These can add additional [...] protection All products in the X90 family are designed for use in harsh industrial environments. They can handle operating temperatures from -40 to 85°C as well as strong vibrations or shocks in addition to

New X20 generation for the future of automation

RAM and integrated onboard flash memory. The new controller generation supports OPC UA over TSN and can be used as a field-level master in corresponding networks. It offers considerably more processing power [...] of the CompactFlash card. Extreme space savings As with all X20 controllers, up to 250 I/O modules can be connected directly to the controllers and line up seamlessly. The entire system saves a large amount [...] TSN-enabled standard Ethernet, RS232 and USB are available as integrated interfaces. Additional interfaces can be added via interface modules.

Multitenancy for B&R cloud application

Asset Performance Monitor opens up new OEM business models Manufacturing OEMs can now also provide data and results from Asset Performance Monitor to their customers, opening up new revenue streams. The [...] Asset Performance Monitor knows how to prepare the data. Without any configuration at all, the user can view dashboards, reports and alarm overviews. Even small and midsized OEMs now have access to comprehensive [...] ability to process data from their machines and sell the resulting data back to their customers, OEMs can now implement new business models. The machine builder simply makes the corresponding settings in Asset

Temperature range for B&R I/O modules and control systems considerably increased

modules with IP67 protection function reliably at temperatures from -25 to +60°C, and these modules can be stored at even more extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to +85°C. Because of the increased temperature [...] to ensure reliable operation of the X20 CPUs, B&R uses special CompactFlash cards in the PLCs that can withstand these extreme temperatures.

Open communication for Industry 4.0

this communication can be easily implemented in the application software regardless of the hardware being used. Through the support of OPC UA subscriptions, larger amounts of data can be transferred faster

Web-based HMI made easy

with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript technology. mapp View relies 100% on web standards to ensure content can be viewed optimally on any output device or even customized for specific users or user groups. Working [...] simply dragged and dropped into place and configured. Since content and layout are separated, designs can be adjusted at any time or even used on other machines.

Remote I/O expansion for mobile automation

B&R expands the X90 control and I/O system With its new X90 CAN bus controller, B&R makes it easier to connect remote sensors and actuators to mobile machinery. The scalable X90 control and I/O system [...] environments All products in the X90 family are designed for rugged use in mobile machinery. They can handle operating temperatures from -40 to +85°C (housing surface) and are resistant to vibration, shock
