I've worked heavily with B&R (and several other smaller platforms) in the past and now use AB almost exclusively. Rockwell is like Led Zeppelin, great to listen too every once in a while, but from the 70's.

Make things better! Help customer do things they couldn't realize before. Its exciting, and let's not forget the goal. Moreover, I'm seriously excited to see every kid in the world become computer literate. Rockwell will have challenging years ahead. Also VC4 has been updated substantially, so Factory Talk champions will keep up. This makes HMI development advanced and easy to use in the IDE.

Give them a call, it's free (no yearly contract agreement required) and they will support you better than Rockwell.Īutomation studio is excellent! And now they have released MAPP View (HTML/CSS3) visualization tool.

Also B&R is 600 million euros now! Ask yourself a simple question, "Why does this company grow so fast?" They consistently outperform Rockwell.ī&R's application engineering team is unbelievable and they'll help you make the best machines in the world. I know change is hard to digest, however let's face it, B&R is better than Rockwell. Their safety functions kick RW in the butt.

Their servo drives are faster and offer significant software functions Rockwell only dreams of. B&R's smaller PLC / IPC completely outperform Rockwell. I have experienced projects where Rockwell simply just can't supply a solution compared to B&R (software and hardware). They have unbelievable flexibility in customer applications. These function blocks save you significant programming time. Time is not an issue with B&R, especially with their new MAPP components. Innovative company with leading technology
