COMBIVIS Studio 6, the automation and drive configuration software, provides a powerful all-in-one environment for programming KEB drives, controls, and I/O.
Studio 6 supports all IEC 61131-3 languages like Ladder Diagram and Structured Text. KEB’s extensive function block libraries, motion profile editors, and simulation tools simplify complex machine routines and shorten development timelines. Production code can be encrypted and secured.
COMBIVIS Studio 6 supports all 6 IEC 61131-3 programming languages including Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Function Block Diagram (FBD).
Reduce traditional development times by up to 60%. Studio 6 includes KEB’s powerful libraries which facilitate EtherCAT drive communication, Master-Follower synchronization, and Camming profiles.
Users benefit from comfortable “SmartCoding” with tools for declaration, error diagnosis, debugging and online data analysis.
Intuitive start-up assistants, digital 16-channel oscilloscope, tools for data backup and recovery, and extensive expert tweaks for optimised fine tuning of systems, complete the engineering software from the development of automation to after-sales service.
