The new intelligence of the hardware configuration, the intuitive user interface and the system openness makes SPEED7 Studio a powerful and easy to handle tool. We want to optimize automation tasks, reduce the development effort to a minimum, and avoid time and cost intensive software training. This allows the user to concentrate on his own engineering tasks. SPEED7 Studio consistently puts the emphasis on user friendliness. The new concept includes

• Hardware configuration,
• Programming and networking,
• Parametrization of frequency converters and drives up to
• Visualization.

In the SPEED7 Studio editor design all functions, features and libraries are prepared and monitored automatically. Unique SPEED7 tools make the soft- ware attractive and efficient. High-Speed applications are compiled more ergonomically in the SPEED-Bus functions. EtherCAT and other fieldbusses are fully integrated. Applications are projected quickly and safely, loaded automatically and named with common symbolism in the EtherCAT configurator. Integrated SLIO functionalities, such as automatic current consumption calculation and integrated process image calculation makes SPEED7 Studio a highly efficient tool that holistically integrates the products of the SPEED7 world.
