Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, announced the launch of FactoryTalk® Design Workbench™, a free design software built specifically for micro control systems. Version 1 supports Micro800™ controllers and provides a unified workspace for programming, configuration and troubleshooting.
FactoryTalk Design Workbench software gives machine builders and manufacturers working on compact, standalone systems a consistent and efficient way to develop automation solutions. Companies in packaging, water and wastewater, agriculture and material handling often face long development cycles, fragmented tools and limited flexibility. The new software streamlines the process from programming to deployment while supporting multiple devices at once to simplify system management.
Key features in version 1 capabilities include:
- Modern design environment with a consistent Logix experience for faster onboarding
- Improved download speed and online workflows for greater efficiency
- Multi-device support for Micro810® and newer Micro800 Lx0E controllers, allowing easy access to multiple controllers at the same time to simplify troubleshooting
FactoryTalk Design Workbench software is available now through Rockwell’s Product Compatibility & Downloads Center (PCDC). Future versions are planned to expand support beyond Micro800 controllers, with annual updates expected.
