Are you familiar with Rockwell Automation’s CCW – Connected Components Workbench ™ – software?
We are pleasure to show you the main features and functions of the software together with a brief presentation of the latest version.
The software simplifies the design of stand-alone machines and offers device configuration functions, controller programming and integration with the operator interface editor in a single platform. Thanks to this programming/configuration software you can reduce your costs and the initial development time of your machines.
The main products connected to the software are the Micro800® controllers, the PanelView800™ operator panel and the servo drive Kinetix5100™.
MAIN FEATURES OF THE CCW SOFTWARE
Simplified configuration
- Configuration of the plug-in for the controller
- Configuration of the safety relays with certified function blocks instead of wiring system
- Powerflex® drive configuration with wizards
Ease of programming
- You can choose the programming language for the Micro800® controller (ladder, function blocks, structured text)
Simplicity of visualization
- Design the operator interface using the toolbox library
- Simplified Drag and Drop
- Ability to choose from over 500 symbols
- Ability to directly reference Micro800® variable names when creating HMI tags
FOCUS ON…. NEW VERSION OF THE CCW ROCKWELL AUTOMATION PROGRAMMING AND CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The latest version of the software (Connected Components Workbench 13) will be explained in our Micro Automation digital training course, organized in collaboration with Rockwell Automation technicians! It will be a good opportunity to learn how to use the programming and configuration software according to your industrial needs!
What has been improved in version 13 of the Connected Components Workbench software?
- Reduced Micro800 controller programming time by quickly inserting ladder elements through workflows similar to RSLogix 500® and Studio 5000 Logix Designer® software
- Easily search for instructions using the instruction toolbar
- Code sharing between CCW – Connected Components Workbench ™ – and Studio 5000® Logix Designer software via a simple copy and paste function
- Application code development and testing in a controlled environment using the Micro800® simulator
- Ability to manage real time data
- Ability to perform simple object animations with the PanelView™ 800 DesignStation
Using the Logix theme simplifies the user experience!
STANDARD & DEVELOPER EDITION: differences
The platform is available in two versions: Standard and Developer Edition.
Standard Edition CCW software is an easy-to-use configuration and programming tool for Rockwell Automation micro control systems. It also includes a 10 minute demo version of the Micro800™ simulator.
The Developer Edition of the CCW software has the same features as the standard version with additional elements such as the Micro800™ simulator and Archive Management, as well as numerous programming functions of the Micro800™ controller able to improve the user experience.
