NEW LIBRARIES

AB-500 and AB-5000 Compatible Functions and Addresses

These new libraries are an update from our original library that did not include all the major functions. With these two new libraries, you will be able to create control circuits using addresses (AB-500) or tag names (AB-5000).
 

CUSTOM LIBRARIES

PLC Custom Library

This library was created to enable students to actually wire up the PLC (Allen Bradley, Eaton, Koyo, LS Electric, Mitsubishi, Omron, Siemens, etc.), write the Ladder Logic and run the simulation to see the inputs and outputs being triggered on the PLC according to their ladder diagram.

 

Renewable Energy Custom Library

The new Renewable Energy library is made with illustrated components. It enables to create and simulate circuits with look-alike components from real-world applications. Some components even animate during simulation, creating an optimal experience for training activities.

 

DC Electrical Custom Library

This illustrated library is intended for DC electrical circuits. Components can be connected directly or by using the breadboard to create and simulate your circuit.

 

Residential Electricity Custom Library

Students can now quickly build residential electrical circuits using common components which they are familiar with.

 

Hydraulic Cross-Section View Library

Create your circuit using hydraulic components with a cross-section view that is animated during simulation. Students can now quickly visualize the flow movement in the circuit.

 

Hydraulic Cylinders with Load Custom Library

This custom library allows to quickly vary the cylinders load during simulation and instantly see how it affects the system.

Online Manufacturers' Catalogues

The Automation Studio™ Web Catalogues lets you drag & drop components directly from the web browser interface to your Automation Studio™ schematic. These components are always the most up-to-date version. Therefore, there is no need to locally manage multiple manufacturers' catalogue files. The Web Catalogues for Automation Studio™ will be made available shortly after the release of Automation Studio™ E7.

 

ELECTRICAL

New Semiconductor Devices

New semiconductor components have been added to the Electrotechnical library.

• Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)

• Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)

• Metal-Oxyde-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)

• Thyristors

Thyristors, bipolar transistors and field effect transistors have been introduced. The thyristor can be controlled by a variable or by an external circuit and the transistors have been designed to operate in both switching and amplification modes.

 

Improvement of the Battery Component

• The ageing effect on the battery capacity is now taken into account

• OCV hysteresis effect is taken into account by differentiating OCV vs SOC curves during charge and discharge

• New advanced model taking into account the voltage transients' behaviour during charge and discharge

• Predefined battery parameters for the different available battery types

• Improvement on the Battery Component

 

Terminal Strips Builder

New terminals with jumper channels management of different categories were added:

• Feed-Through

• Ground

• Feed-Through with Ground

• Knife Disconnect

• Disconnect

• Sensor / Actuator

• Fuse Holder

• Distribution Blocks

Simplified terminals are still available. The new builder allows complete management of the Terminal Strips, including the accessories management and the part numbers. Terminal strip export and import functions are also available.
