B&R at the SPS 2022
Free choice of simulation tool
B&R has added a new function to the Automation Studio development environment: With 'FMU Export'.
With 'FMU Export' from B&R, machine code can be exported and integrated as a PLC simulation in any simulation tool. All required data is automatically bundled in a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU). The exported FMU has a standardized interface so that no separate interface needs to be programmed on your own tool. The only requirement is that your own simulation tool supports the FMI 2.0 standard.
FMI stands for Functional Mock-up Interface and is an industry-independent standard for model exchange between different modeling tools. It was already possible to import machine models into Automation Studio using 'FMU Import'. Now developers can also export their machine code to the simulation tool of their choice. As of Automation Studio 4.12, FMU Export is available to all users of the development environment.
