Custom-developed controllers can be equipped with functional safety technology using openSAFETY. Thus, data can be exchanged with any OPC UA server.Īll POWERLINK master- and slave devices can be easily configured in Automation Studio. The library AsOpcUac allows a B&R controller to act as a OPC UA client. Units can be easily assignet to OPC UA variables by drag&drop.

Using OPC UA engineering units data can be interpreted unambiguously on the client based on the physical unit. The SmartEdit functions in Automation Studio text editors have been improved in code completion, automatic variable declaration and syntax highlighting. In the ladder diagram the exact position- dependent state of variables and lines are displayed. Furthermore, the switching states are synchronized tapped for PLC cycle and transmitted as consistent picture of Automation Studio. With ladder diagram tracepoints the current states of the signal lines are shown. This reduces maintenance efforts and creates space for innovative product development. Reusing tested software and a growing number of test cases ensures an improvement of software quality. Flexibilität Skalierbarkeit und Qualität stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Mapp (modular application technology) ist Teil des Application Layers und unterstützt Entwickler von Maschinen und Anlagenapplikationen, auf effiziente Art und Weise wieder- kehrende Funktionen umzusetzen. These texts can be used by a function block interface, in the mapp View visualization or custom specific log entries. The integrated text system allows a central administration of localizable texts on the runtime system in Automation Studio projects. In case of transfer termination a consistent state of the project is available, the machine always runs in a defined state. After the transfer only one restart is required. The new transfer transfers all BR-modules at once on the PLC. The description texts can be read with the ArEventLog Library. The arrangement of the modules has been significantly improved.ĭescription texts can be defined in multiple languages also for customer specific log entries. The System Designer has been extended by some functions like comment boxes, docking lines and an extensible grid. Connectivity, TextSystem and Access&Security are the first topics that have a specific folder in the Configuration View and logbooks in the logging systemīy configuring Powerlink Safety Devices in standardized OSDD files 3rd party Safety devices can be used in Automation Studio.
