SEM210.4A – Automation Studio Training: Accelerated Basics

Automation Studio is used to configure and program all B&R control components. Core issues include getting a clear overview of all product groups, initial commissioning of a controller, understanding the functions of the runtime environment and knowing the options for integrated configuration and diagnostics.

Learning objectives and contents

• Use the programming tool Automation Studio and its help documentation.
• Configure hardware functions and set up CPU simulation.
• Configure the target's network options and use Target Browser to find the target.
• Create, compile, and transfer project to target.
• Ladder Diagram will be the language of choice for the basic courses, but the instructor can provide guidance for using Structured Text or ANSI C.
• Manage variable declaration and data retention.
• Use standard functions (e.g. compare and compute) and function blocks (e.g. timers and counters) in Ladder Diagram.
• Store project source files on the target.
• Utilize common Automation Runtime features, such as cycle time adjustment.
• Use System Diagnostics Manager, Runtime Utility Center and Automation Studio to troubleshoot hardware issues and diagnostic software bugs.
• Integrate mapp functionality into your application.
