thank you for your information i wish you can make a video about diagnosing the system and the i/o as i work in a place where we have like 4 b&R system and we are having a difficulties diagnosing the i/o or monitoring it since the B&R products dose not support uploading the logic from the plc
We have B&R plc with some Krones equipment that we can not see the code...something about proprietary program how can I keep my line running? Please help me Jeremy Darren in Dallas TX
Really nice gentle introduction, but at 14:10 "I'm going to compile my code and transfer it to the simulator now" ..... but nothing about how that's done!
thank you alot for your effort, It's very informative, But I have two remark s 1- I try to do same thing in my PC but a I had a little probleme The simulation run but I couldn't transfere the program to the semulator 2- I didn't find any training documentation for B&R automation studio Can you put for us some link to download some document like " B&R Tutorial Portal," because in the website It ask dor password Thanka
Thanks for watching Sofiene! 1. It will be tough to help troubleshoot without knowing the full details of the system. I would recommend discussing with your B&R representative to work through this. 2. The Automation Studio Help (installed with AS) is a great resource with several tutorials and sample code. To access the B&R Tutorial Portal, you will need to contact your local B&R representative.
I'm doing an engineering project on Allen Bradley PLC. The problem is right now I don't have the PLC. Can I create the program on B&R automation studio without connecting PLC and later download it for the PLC? If yes please tell me the configuration that I have to set if it matters. Do I have to select the Allen Bradley PLC in catalog section while creating a new project? Or if I go with standard PC, it will work?
Hi Swaraj - First off - YES, you absolutely can use Automation Studio in simulation mode. Just one click, and you are running as if the hardware was right there! However - there isn't a way to program an Allen-Bradley PLC with B&R Automation Studio. You would need to use the appropriate software from Allen-Bradley depending on the controller. Automation Studio only supports PLC programming for hardware from B&R Industrial Automation (e.g., X20 series PLCs). I hope this helps and good luck with your project!
@@ThisisAutomation one more thing, I'm getting an error when I press the build button "The project build was done successfully ! The project must be transferred to the target in order for the changes to take effect." And it won't allow me to Transfer. It worked smoothly in the afternoon, now I don't know why it's showing me this dialogue box. (There are 0 errors and 0 warnings in the console.) Also to mention: At the bottom right corner it says "OFFLINE" But normally it use to say "RUN"(in green color)
It is always tough to help troubleshoot without being able to see what's going on, but I'll give you a couple recommendations. 1. Open the system tray in the bottom right of your Windows toolbar. You should see an icon for Automation Runtime Simulation (looks like a traffic light). If so, then double-click it and "restart" the simulation. Wait for the simulation to restart and enter "RUN" mode. If the icon is not in your Windows system tray, then simulation may not be activated - see below. 2. Try to toggle the simulation button (looks like a traffic light) in the top toolbar of Automation Studio. If the button is depressed, then simulation is activated. 3. If all of that looks correct and simulation is activated. You can try to rebuild the Automation Runtime Simulation files by selecting Project > Project Installation > Offline Installation. If you're still having trouble, I would recommend reaching out to your local B&R office or support line.
@@ThisisAutomation Thank you so much Sir. I was halfway through your instructuons and suddenly the green RUN came back. Now I can successfully transfer as well as monitor. Once again Thanks for the tips.

Thanks a lot! I'm discovering automation studio for work and you're very helpful! Greetings from France
Thanks Pierre! I'm glad they are helpful for you!
@@ThisisAutomation I followed you on Linkedin to check all the others documentations or stuff about automation studio that could help me
how to interface QT software with automation studio for GUI development.
Does the monitor mode and watch window go hand in hand? As in, is it possible to watch variables without using the monitor mode?
Can you explain recent version of automation studio use in industry.
We have B&R plc with some Krones equipment that we can not see the code...something about proprietary program how can I keep my line running?

Thanks for the great work, how can i get a programming software
New to Automation Studio. At work, we use ver.3.09 How can I start simulation
Really nice gentle introduction, but at 14:10 "I'm going to compile my code and transfer it to the simulator now" ..... but nothing about how that's done!

B&r automation studios and automation studio 6.0are same software
War Damn Eagle...class of 76
I dont like Automation studio. the support level is not best as siemens
