  • Optimize X20 I/O power with Automation Studio 4.11's new Power Calculation function.
  • Identify undersupplied modules by comparing supplied versus required power in X20 systems.
  • Early power optimization accelerates machine commissioning and enhances predictability.

The new Power Calculation function in Version 4.11 of B&R's Automation Studio engineering environment shows developers exactly where power supply modules are needed in the layout of their X20 I/O system.

Easily optimizing the number and position of power supply modules early in the design phase makes machine commissioning faster and more predictable.

X20 Power Calculation function

Automation Studio's hardware configuration analysis tool now includes an X20 Power Calculation function that evaluates the power balance of the I/O system.

The amount of supplied power is compared against the required power, and the positions of undersupplied modules are highlighted. The feature can be enabled in existing projects by upgrading the hardware version of configured modules.
