Programming Software for
Micro800 Controllers
Connected Components Workbench 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 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.

Workbench software, you can refer to the Connected Components Workbench
Online Help (it comes with the software).
Using Run Mode Change
Run Mode Change (RMC) is a productivity enhancement feature introduced in
Release 8 for Micro820/Mico830/Micro850 controllers. It saves the user time by
allowing logic modifications to a running project without going to remote
program mode and without disconnecting from the controller. It requires the
Connected Components Workbench Developer Edition Release 8 software to
use this feature.
Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controller firmware revision 8.0 or higher
is also required to use Run Mode Change.
