Machine builders can now get standalone machines to market faster using a newly updated design and configuration software. The latest release of the Connected Components Workbench software from Rockwell Automation will be more familiar to Logix users and includes new features to help reduce programming time. It provides controller programming, device configuration and human-machine interface editing for Rockwell Automation hardware.
The Connected Components Workbench software supports all Micro800 controllers, including the new Micro870 PLC. This controller can be used in place of multiple micro PLCs in large standalone smart machines or systems.
