Product Description
CH Studio Component Manager
Software
CH Studio from Eaton’s electrical busi-
ness is an integrated software devel-
opment environment that supports
the configuration and monitoring of
control products and systems. The
application simplifies the monitoring
and configuration of entire networks,
as well as the enhanced features of
individual IT. communicating devices
within those networks.
CH Studio takes advantage of the
Windows graphical interface to
present a suite of tools that is easy to
learn and efficient to use, while meet-
ing the requirements for developing
complex network configurations.
CH Studio components include
Explorer, Property, Output, Toolbox,
Message Editor, Property Pages, and
Device Selector windows and dialog

Application Description
The CH Studio Software runs on any
personal computer hosting one of the
following supported Windows operat-
ing 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 net-
work adapters, motor starters, or I/O
modules. 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.
