Products in the Millenium 3 range are simple to program using the new AC7 software workshop, available as a free download. In this way, professionals who are not automation engineers are able to install simple or even advanced control systems. Millenium 3 users should update their AC7 software workshop with version 2.5 (still free of charge). Only this new version can be used to program controllers manufactured after June 2011, as they will have new built-in electronic components, guaranteeing enhanced performance!

“The launch of the version 2.5 software workshop marks a major step forward in terms of user-friendliness, explains André Chovin, the Automation range product manager. The tabs are now organised so that the function blocks are more logically arranged. This is a significant advance as far as users are concerned“.

From now on, blocks are arranged in categories (calculation, logic, I/O, human-machine interface, etc). A new “Macro“ tab means macro enhancements can be arranged in the same way as function blocks. In addition, the user can rename 6 tabs as “favourites“ and for example place his most commonly used function blocks and macros in them. AC7 version 2.5 runs in Windows XP or Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit).
