In an important step toward standardization, Applics Studio is now completely replacing the previously used Developers Studio. Until now, Developers Studio was primarily used for programming 8-bit and 16-bit controllers and gateways. From now on, all of these MRS products - regardless of their processor architecture - will be programmed using Applics Studio.

“With Applics Studio, we are creating a consistent toolchain for our entire product range. Since we develop our tools entirely in-house, we have full control over technical development. Customers benefit from a modern user interface, powerful diagnostic functions, and intuitive handling,” explains Martin Rentschler, Head of Software Development at MRS Electronic.

Clear benefits for developers and OEMs

The advantages of the changeover are obvious: standardizing the development environment reduces training costs, simplifies handling, and shortens project duration. Developers can configure, program, and test all control units and gateways with just one tool - from compact 8-bit products to powerful 32-bit controllers.

Highlights from Applics Studio

•    Graphical programming with function blocks (IEC 61131-3) or in C

•    Diagnostic, flash, and test functions

•    Fast programming and flexible adaptation in the field

•    Full support for CAN, LIN, J1939, and more

•    Central platform for development, commissioning, and support

In addition, there are several useful functions:

•    Creation of user variables that can be used in graphical programming

•    Simple configuration of CAN telegrams and data points for CAN and CAN FD

•    Individual renaming of module pins for a better overview

•    Import and export of SYM and DBC

•    Custom graphical blocks can be created with C Code and managed in libraries.

 Conclusion:

With the complete integration of all current generations of controllers and gateways into Applics Studio, MRS Electronic is taking the programming landscape to a new level. Customers receive a powerful, intuitive, and future-proof tool - ready for the demands of the modern automotive world. MRS Electronic's workshops for beginners and advanced users are an ideal opportunity to get to know Applics Studio and its products better.
