About Your Controller
Programming Software for
Micro800 Controllers
Connected Components Workbench software is a set of collaborative tools
supporting Micro800 controllers. It is based on Rockwell Automation and
Microsoft® Visual Studio® technology and offers controller programming,
device configuration and integration with HMI editor. Use this software to
program your controllers, configure your devices and design your operator
interface applications.
Connected Components Workbench software provides a choice of IEC 61131-3
programming languages (ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured
text) with user defined function block support that optimizes machine control.
Obtain Connected Components Workbench Software
A free download is available at rok.auto/ccw.
Use Connected Components Workbench Software
To help you program your controller through the Connected Components
Workbench software, you can refer to the Connected Components Workbench
Online Help (it comes with the software).
Controller Changes in Run
Mode
Micro820®/Micro830/Micro850/Micro870 controllers allow you to make
certain changes while in run mode by using the following features:
• Run Mode Change (RMC)
This feature allows logic modifications to a running project without
going to remote program mode.
For more information, see Using Run Mode Change (RMC)
on page 24.
• Run Mode Configuration Change (RMCC)|
This feature allows changing the address configuration of the controller
to be made within a program during run mode.
For more information, see Using Run Mode Configuration Change
(RMCC) on page 28.
IMPORTANT The new Micro850 (2080-L50E) and Micro870 (2080-L70E) controllers
are only supported from Connected Components Workbench software
version 20.01.00 onwards.
