SRL1430 – Remote Lecture: Dimensioning, commissioning and programming ACOPOS 6D

Automation Studio is used to configure and program all B&R controller components. Core issues such as getting a clear overview of all product groups, initial commissioning of a controller, understanding the functions of the runtime environment and being familiar with the options for integrated configuration and diagnostics are decisive.

Learning objectives and content

• B&R company presentation
