About Your Controller
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.

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 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 8 .
•
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 13 .
