The mapp Temperature software package provides a new pre-programmed way to bring machinery up to temperature. The Soft-Start function heats up machine components evenly to minimize heating element fatigue.

B&R has dramatically accelerated the execution of machine vision functions. A new quad-core processor and just-in-time compiler complete vision tasks up to four times faster.

Using B&R automation technology in maritime environments is now easier than ever thanks to additional certifications by DNV, KR, LR and ABS for the X20 control and I/O system.

The safety functions of the B&R ACOPOS P3 servo drive are now also available for motors with a safe Hiperface DSL encoder. Machine builders now have a broader selection of motors when implementing safe motion control applications.

Equipped with powerful processors, the new devices are perfect for applications where tight synchronization and positioning precision are paramount.

B&R is simplifying the implementation of safety functions on mobile machinery by equipping its X90 safety controllers with the CANopen Safety protocol.

A new variant of B&R's ACOPOS P3 servo drive is now available with no output frequency limitation. In many applications, that makes it possible to achieve motor speeds in excess of 100,000 rpm.

Automation Runtime now automatically logs data about storage media health to provide early warnings of impending failure. Storage media can be replaced before a crash causes lost data and costly downtime.

A new feature of B&R's mapp View HMI solution enables operators to hand off control of the machine from the main HMI to their mobile device and move freely around the plant floor as they continue working.

With the addition of B&R technology to its existing portfolio of ABB solutions, Empire Automation now offers customers in Upstate New York a single point of contact for their entire automation solution
