B&R Automation Studio 4 is a software tool that allows you to design, program, test and debug automation systems. It supports a wide range of hardware platforms, such as PLCs, industrial PCs, servo drives, HMIs and more. With B&R Automation Studio 4, you can create modular and reusable software components, use graphical editors for logic and motion control, simulate your system before deployment, and benefit from integrated diagnostics and troubleshooting features.
If you want to download and install B&R Automation Studio 4 on your computer, you need to follow these steps:
Congratulations! You have successfully downloaded and installed B&R Automation Studio 4 on your computer. You can now start creating your own automation projects with this powerful software tool.
B&R Automation Studio 4 is based on the IEC 61131-3 standard, which defines five programming languages for automation systems: Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), Instruction List (IL) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). You can use any of these languages or combine them to create your software components. You can also use C/C++ or ANSI C for more complex tasks.
B&R Automation Studio 4 also provides graphical editors for motion control, such as Motion Chart and CAM Editor. These editors allow you to define the motion profiles and trajectories of your servo axes, as well as synchronize them with other axes or events. You can also use the integrated PLCopen motion function blocks to implement standard motion functions, such as homing, positioning, gearing and camming.
B&R Automation Studio 4 enables you to simulate your system before deploying it to the hardware. You can use the Simulation Runtime feature to run your software components on your computer and test their functionality and performance. You can also use the Simulation View feature to visualize the behavior of your system in a 3D environment. You can import CAD models of your machine or plant and connect them to your software components. This way, you can verify the kinematics and dynamics of your system and detect any errors or collisions.
