Standard IEC 61131-3 programming foundation

AMAX-Optimized

Native support for AMAX controllers and I/O modules

Evolving Toolset

Assistive environment for all project phases 

Deployment-Ready

Templates and function blocks accelerate implementation

Four Capabilities That Accelerate Automation Control Projects

Value-Added Toolkits

  • Diagnostic intelligence built in

    Visual EtherCAT topology maps your entire network. Error counters pinpoint issues per node. Real-time system monitoring tracks CPU, temperature, voltage. NVRAM retention support. Project templates for common applications.

Intuitive I/O Access

  • Point-and-click configuration

    Ready-to-use dialogs for AMAX-5000 Slice and AMAX-4800 Block I/O. Configure, test, and monitor without PDO/SDO coding. On-board I/O accessible through the same interface.

Data Processing

  • Direct connectivity without middleware

    High-speed data logging (1 kHz across 100 channels). Native MQTT/OPC UA integration. Direct ODBC database connections. Agent & Data Connect (ADC) service for cloud platforms.

Application Building Blocks

  • Advanced features, ready to deploy

    Pre-tested CPU redundancy templates. PSO library for vision-synchronized motion with complete examples. Project templates for EtherCAT networking, Modbus TCP, and redundant architectures.

Why It Matters

Software-Defined Future

Industrial automation moves from closed PLCs to open software platforms. Standard foundation, open architecture, vendor-independent development. AMAX Studio positions your engineering for industry transformation, not obsolescence.

Architectural Freedom

Consolidate control, IoT, and HMI into unified platforms instead of managing fragmented vendor systems. Deploy software-defined architectures that reduce hardware complexity and integration overhead.

Innovation Control

Open CODESYS platform with C++/C# API access. Integrate third-party libraries. Deploy custom algorithms. Connect emerging technologies. Your application roadmap drives capability, not vendor release schedules.
