Automation Studio 4 is the one development and runtime environment for every aspect of an automation solution – from control and motion technology to HMI, operation and integrated safety technology. The advantages of object-oriented programming The behavior of a machine or system is governed by its software. It is the software that steers every process and movement, it is the software that manages vital messages and operating data, and it is the software that ensures appropriate responses to user input, instructions from external systems and events reported to it via sensors. Software development...

Open at every level The only future-proof solution is an open solution. Openness allows you to work with the tools you are most comfortable using. It allows machines to communicate effortlessly with external systems. And by facilitating the reuse of existing software for future solutions, it frees up valuable time to get your product to market faster. Proprietary solutions, step aside. The future is Automation Studio 4. Automation Studio 4 allows PLC programming in all IEC 61131-3 languages, in CFC and C, as well as object-oriented programming in C++. This not only allows programmers to work...
