✅ Advantage: Automatic dependency resolution (e.g., required base libraries are also downloaded).
The developer of Automation Studio, Famic Technologies Inc. , operates a secure customer portal. Automation Studio 7 Library Files Download
Steps:
Pro Tip: Sort by "Last Updated." Library files are updated frequently to fix simulation bugs or add new component parameters.
A: Yes. Use their support ticket system. Provide your license number and the exact component name/part number. They may build or source that specific library within 2–4 weeks.
Advanced users and system integrators often need to create custom composite components that are not available for download anywhere. Online Library Catalog
Automation Studio 7 includes a Library Builder tool (found under Tools → Library Builder). You can:
This is especially valuable for companies protecting proprietary simulation models.
For a typical motion control or PLC project, these are the libraries you will likely search for first:
| Library File Name | Function | Download Priority | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | AsBrStr | String manipulation (replace, find, concat) | Critical | | AsBrMath | Advanced math operations (sin, cos, log) | Critical | | AsArithm | 32/64-bit integer arithmetic | High | | AsMcBasic | Basic motion control (home, move, stop) | High | | AsMcCamming | Electronic camming (master/slave) | Medium | | AsIOTime | Input filtering and timestamping | Medium | | AsOpcUa | OPC UA Server/Client functionality | High (for Industry 4.0) | | Acp10Sys | ACOPOS servo drive control | Critical (for motion) | | AsLog | File-based logging to SD card/USB | Medium | | AsHeater | PID temperature control loops | Low (specialized) | Search & Select
Before diving into the download process, understanding the architecture is crucial.
In Automation Studio 7, a Library File (typically with extensions like .aslib, .ascomp, or part of project packages) is a curated collection of components. These components are grouped by category, manufacturer, or technology.
A: Ranges from 20 MB (e.g., a small sensor library) to over 2 GB (e.g., the full Bosch Rexroth industrial hydraulics library with 3D animations).
Unlike older monolithic software, Automation Studio 7 uses a modular architecture. The base installer includes only core simulation engines and a handful of generic components. Specific manufacturer libraries or advanced libraries are distributed separately to:
Bottom line: If you cannot find a specific component (e.g., a Festo VUVG valve or a Rexroth A4VG pump), you are missing the corresponding library file.
