Standby mode on the X90 CP150 compact controller provides the option of restarting a machine or vehicle immediately after the engine was shut down for a short time.
The new innovations at B&R include shuttles and IP69K standard for ACOPOStrak, 90° curve segment for SuperTrack, and aseptic & hygienic shuttle at ACOPOS 6D.
B&R has added a new function to its Automation Studio development environment. With FMU Export, machine code can be exported and integrated as a PLC simulation into any simulation tool, allowing simulation experts to work in the familiar software ecosystem of their choice. This saves both valuable time and resources during interdisciplinary development.
