CimQuest INGEAR's Allen-Bradley ActiveX Studio Software Now Allows Creation of Windows 7 PLC HMI applications

CimQuest INGEAR, a publisher of runtime-free software development solutions for industrial applications, has stated that their new version of Allen-Bradley ActiveX Studio software allows users to make Windows 7 PLC HMI applications and has simplified the process of developing 64-bit, Windows 7 interfaces to Allen Bradley controllers.

According to the company, users can make easy-to-use, more powerful applications with their Allen-Bradley ActiveX Studio 6.0 and the new version also sports significant performance and usability improvements over previous versions.

CimQuest INGEAR president, Chuck Karwoski has commented that many of their customers migrating to the performance advantages of 64-bit Windows computing have had concerns about being able to continue to run their 32-bit programs. With this new version of their Allen-Bradley ActiveX Studio, they have enabled users to update existing or newly created 32-bit programs and run them on Windows 7 and on 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Users of the Allen-Bradley ActiveX Studio version 5.2 only need to make minor changes to their applications codes to make them compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 64-Bit operating systems. Users of the new version can write codes for apps that run directly on Windows 7 and Windows 64-Bit operating systems.

The company has stated that Allen Bradley ActiveX Studio 6.0 is available for immediate download, as a free trial, upgrade, or full purchase. The developer edition, which supports unlimited runtime distribution, is priced at $999 and the single machine deployment version is $299. Users with a current Studio 5.2 ActiveX Studio Maintenance and Subscription plan can upgrade for free.
