mapp Technology

When it comes to engineering new machines and systems, software development is becoming an increasingly significant time and cost factor. Nevertheless, the lion's share of this work is spent on programming basic functions like loading recipe data.

mapp eliminates recurring programming tasks for developers by providing preconfigured blocks that are easy to use and already extensively tested - so called basic functions. Programmers can concentrate on their main task: implementing machine or system processes in the application software.

mapp blocks are seamlessly integrated into B&R's Automation Studio. What sets mapp function blocks apart is that they are extremely easy to configure and relieve the developer of having to program every single detail.

They make it possible, for example, to put multi-axis systems coupled with cam profiles, electronic gears or various robot kinematics into operation in a matter of just a couple hours. The end results speak for themselves: increased machine availability, lower maintenance costs and much easier team collaboration.
