Application Description
The CH Studio Software runs on any 
personal computer hosting one of 
the following supported Windows 
operating systems:
■ MS Windows XP.
■ MS Windows 2000.
A typical automation system is 
comprised of a programmable logic 
controller acting as a master, and 
numerous slave devices such as 
network adapters and motor starters. 
The devices are networked via an 
industrial fieldbus such as DeviceNet 
or Modbus/TCP.
A personal computer hosting CH 
Studio may be connected to an indus-
trial network using a supported inter-
face card or common Ethernet port 
(a variety of network protocols, such 
as Modbus/TCP, utilize Ethernet for a 
physical layer). CH Studio can then be 
used to configure and commission the 
automation products and network.
