施耐德电气公司（Schneider Electric）在美国启动了通用自动化发现包计划，使创新者有机会探索通用自动化的好处。通过该计划，来自行业各个方面的专家，包括OEM，系统集成商，最终用户，分销商，学者等，可以免费获得免费许可证，以探索自己的下一代自动化系统。
Universal automation is a disruptive technology based on the IEC61499 standard for interoperability and portability that decouples hardware and software by addressing one of the industry’s largest challenges to innovation — single-vendor lock-in. By having the opportunity to explore this new technology before leveraging it for commercial projects, innovators can better understand how the platform can support their organizational goals and improve operational efficiency.
“当今行业的变化比以往任何时候都更快，需要提供更高灵活性和更高生产力的新解决方案，以及熟悉能够实施这些解决方案的熟练劳动力，” Schneider Electric产品管理全球总监Kaishi Zhang说。“通过该计划，我们通过提供对最新的通用自动化平台和工具的访问来启动它们，从而在下一步的工业自动化劳动力中促进数字创新和创造力，鼓励他们迈出下一步，以推动推动行业的行业未来前进。”
Universal Automation Discovery Packs are for non-commercial use, enabling innovators to experience the benefits of universal automation while testing the interoperability and portability of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert system with compatible 3rd party hardware. Available on both Microsoft- and Linux-based machines, the plug-and-produce automation software components are based on IEC61499, a key industry standard that defines high-level system design language for distributed Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Adoption of an IEC61499-based automation layer common across vendors has unlimited potential for modernization across industries.
供应商不可屈服的生态构成自动化专家是行业4.0解决方案的理想平台，可提供出色的可重复使用性，可伸缩性和建筑灵活性。通过在硬件和软件平台上实施共同的分布式控制运行时，它代表了一种设计，构建，操作和维护工业自动化系统的新方法，提供了一个独特的技术组合，该组合定义了集成自动化系统的新类别。
Schneider Electric will offer Universal Automation Discovery Packs users one free engineering license and an unlimited number of runtime licenses valid for 12 months, with no purchase required (offer valid for US customers only).
