B&R USER Meeting<br />

achieves record<br />

number of visitors<br />

groundbreaking technologies for<br />

machine and system manufacturing<br />

and a comprehensive exchange of<br />

experience were the main points of<br />

the 20 th B&R uSeR meeting from July<br />

23rd-24th. With over 220 interested<br />

participants, the event achieved a<br />

record number of visitors.<br />

machine and system manufacturers<br />

from Austria and germany took the<br />

opportunity at the B&R uSeR meeting<br />

in Salzburg to learn about the<br />

At the B&R USER Meeting, over 220 participants found out about the newest developments<br />

in the area of automation.<br />

latest trends on the Automation market. In select presentations, company experts presented product innovations and<br />

the latest development projects in the area of automation. Representatives from industry and research also introduced<br />

practical applications and gave live demonstrations to show the impressive results of their cooperation with B&R. For<br />

all industries, this year‘s event provided a wide range of application solutions and expert consultation for optimizing<br />

hardware, engineering and commissioning costs. „We have to make preparations now in order to be ready for future<br />

requirements because the next upswing will certainly come,“ states Hermann Obermair, who is in charge of sales in<br />

Austria and is the initiator of the uSeR meeting.<br />

Raimund Ruf, HmI Business manager at B&R, reported on integration of the new Intel Atom processor generation in<br />

the industrial PC line. „Users will profit in the future from even higher performance in connection with several new<br />

products and the proven Automation pC 620 and panel pC 700 devices. the Intel Atom N270 processor with 1.6 gHz<br />

clock frequency offers performance that is clearly above that of the Pentium M 1.1 GHz,“ explains Raimund Ruf. This<br />

provides users with price-optimized technology for challenging applications.<br />

through the seamless integration of model Based Design (the mathWorks) and automatic code generation with<br />

Automation Studio, machine manufacturers save time designing projects and<br />

increase software quality throughout the entire engineering workflow. With<br />

B&R Automation Studio target for Simulink, complete machine functions<br />

are easily set up and tested in the Simulink simulation environment and<br />

implemented on any B&R controller with the push of a button. For customers,<br />

complete integration of the tools used is decisive - manual intervention by<br />

users is reduced to a minimum.<br />

In addition to selected topics for machine manufacturing, a special series of<br />

presentations concerning process control technology was offered for the first<br />

time in the 20-year history of the uSeR meeting. In selected ApROL process<br />

control system presentations, the plant engineers found out important details<br />

about alarm, trend and process data management. New navigation in the CAe<br />

Manager for optimal representation of individual system configuration tasks<br />

was also explained in detail to participants. At the workstations there, visitors<br />

could directly experience the numerous ApROL functionalities with the help<br />
