Speed Up your Design Process
and Gain Performance with Simulation

Automation Studio™ is a completely integrated software package that allows users to design, document, simulate, and animate circuits consisting of various technologies including hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical controls, PLCs, Sequential Function Charts (SFC/Grafcet), and many more.

The Best Standalone Package for Easy and Rapid System Design

Automation Studio™ incorporates a very effective interface allowing the user to quickly create schematics. The tools allow schematics to be
generated much faster than with any other CAD software currently on the market.

It includes all the powerful features of a schematic design package in a user-friendly approach, shortening the learning curve and increasing productivity. Automation Studio™ is a standalone solution and provides thousands of symbols and models in comprehensive component libraries. It provides drawing tools, basic shapes and elements that allow users to quickly create special symbols of any complexity and to customize diagrams and project templates.

Dynamic and Realistic Simulation in Full Color

Automation Studio™ includes simulation capabilities that meet the requirements of all supported technologies. During simulation, components become animated and lines are color-coded according to their states. Users can also precisely monitor variable values, pressures, flows, and displacement values at any point in a circuit simply by inserting measuring instruments or using the plotting functions. The simulation pace can also be adjusted with functions such as Normal, Step by Step, Slow Motion, and Pause.

Save on Prototyping and Maintenance Costs

With simulation features like pace control, component color-coding, data plotting and animation, designers can monitor the actual circuit operation and find potential faults. This helps to validate designs, to save time on the production of prototypes, and to find faults in an equipment more quickly and easily. No other CAD system can do all this.

Thousands of Symbols in Modular Libraries

Automation Studio™ libraries incorporate internationally recognized graphic standards, including ISO, DIN, IEC, NEMA, and JIC. Each library displays component categories in a comprehensive fashion. Simply browse through the list, select the appropriate component and drag and drop it onto the schematic.

Make your Own Symbols, Components, Templates, and Libraries

By using the standard components, the flexible drawing tools, and the grouping function, you can create and customize your own libraries and templates. For training, instructors can create libraries specific to their application, thereby limiting the number of components only to what is needed.

Automation Studio™ is cost-effective and adapts to your workflow. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to deploy, and it truly helps engineers to implement solutions that support the entire life cycle of any project or product

Compatibility with other CAD and PDM Systems for Easy Integration

Automation Studio™ can import and export DXF format files, thereby allowing for its quick and easy integration in any workflow. PDM systems managing Windows files can also manage Automation Studio™ projects.

Parts Catalog and Database Links to Quickly Generate Bills of Material

Quickly import all catalog data into the catalog provided with Automation Studio™ to easily link symbols to part numbers from your inventory. The setup is fast and reliable. Automation Studio™ improves complete project documentation communication. It allows to include a BOM on the schematic or to extract information with the built-in report generating features. Information can be exported into other applications like a spreadsheet.

Automation Studio™ Runtime (ASR) Version for Machine Diagnostics and Training

By providing a simulation-only runtime version, organizations now have a cost-effective means to perform onsite training and machine diagnostics.

Automation Studio™ can therefore benefit a wider number of people and contribute to more important cost savings by training maintenance personnel on systems, and giving them a troubleshooting and diagnostics platform to reduce machine downtime. ASR restricts access to sensitive design information which may not be essential to maintenance and training departments, therefore avoiding information leaks outside a controlled environment.
