B&R
Perfection in Automation
At B&R, we provide complete solutions for the automation industry. We excel in this area because our product range includes everything needed for machine and system automation. A decisive factor here is that all of the products work together seamlessly.
Automation Studio, the powerful tool used to program and configure all of our products, is the central hub for engineering.
This perfect coordination brings unprecedented increases in performance and quality, giving our customers a substantial competitive edge.
Whether your machinery is stationary or mobile, whether your products are consumer goods or industrial goods and whether you're automating an assembly line, packaging line, industrial complex or power plant – in today's globalized world, innovation is the key to your success. B&R offers a comprehensive portfolio of versatile products and a wide array of preprogrammed technology functions for machinery and equipment. These allow us to design custom solutions that significantly reduce both overall costs as well as the number of components used.
From conceptual design to after-sales service, we accompany our customers through every step of the way. Together we develop the hardware and software solutions that best satisfy their unique requirements and provide them with a technological edge in their market
Connector
Automation Studio – EPLAN integration
Efficient integration between B&R's Automation Studio engineering tool and EPLAN Electric P8 is made possible via the round-trip connector. These two tools provide unparalleled support for the automated exchange and synchronization of hardware configurations, I/O mappings and process variables.
Projects can be started with software development or electrical planning. It is even possible to handle projects in which extensive work is done in both of these disciplines at the same time. An intelligent comparison mechanism gives users a clear overview of differences between project versions at any time in addition to providing guidance when merging different project versions together. For projects large or small, the tight integration between Automation Studio and EPLAN Electric P8 offers maximum transparency and ease of use.
In addition, working on different processes in parallel reduces development times and improves response times. Automated data manipulation increases quality by doing away with errors that can occur when making changes manually. The constant synchronization of project data makes subsequent service work easier, and reduces costs later on.
For B&R, it couldn't be clearer: The key to the successful development of future machine and system manufacturing projects lies in the efficient integration of the best development tools available.
