Automation Studio 7.1 excels in heterogeneous environments . Because it runs on standard Windows and supports OPC UA natively, it talks to Siemens, Rockwell, and Schneider devices via fieldbus gateways without forcing you into a proprietary ecosystem.
Enter —the latest evolution of B&R’s (Bernecker & Rainer) flagship software suite. More than just an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), Automation Studio 7.1 is a holistic ecosystem for machine automation. It merges motion control, robotics, PLC logic, HMI visualization, and safety technology into a single, powerful interface. Automation Studio 7.1
If you are an engineer who is tired of context-switching between a PLC tool, a motion tool, an HMI tool, and a safety tool— Its unified architecture, combined with modern software engineering practices (Git, simulation, mapp components), reduces development time by an average of 30-40% based on B&R’s internal metrics.
