Connected Components Workbench 23 As part of Rockwell Automation’s engineering portfolio, Connected Components Workbench 23 delivers a complete industrial control engineering environment: one project structure, one data model, and one interface covering the full lifecycle of controller programming work from concept to production support.
Core Functions. Structured tag databases keep controller, HMI, and drive references consistent, eliminating re-entry and the mismatches it causes. Version and change management compares revisions, tracks modifications, and protects installed programs with controlled download procedures. Programming in ladder diagram, function block diagram, and structured text gives each part of the application the language that fits it best, inside one project. Integrated simulation executes logic without hardware, so software quality is verified before the panel is wired and the machine is assembled. Diagnostics functions expose module status, wire-level fault detail, and device health, turning unexpected stops into guided repairs. Security features include authenticated access, signed project handling, and controlled communication paths aligned with modern industrial-security practice. Online monitoring with variable forcing, cross-reference search, and trend charts makes commissioning and fault-finding systematic instead of guesswork. Motion integration programs axes, cam profiles, and homing sequences alongside standard logic, with coordinated control for demanding machines. Licensing options cover single workplaces as well as networked teams, with straightforward license administration. Audit trails and access control support regulated industries where traceability of every change is a formal requirement. The workspace remains customizable, so each discipline can arrange the tools it uses most within quick reach. Import and export functions keep collaboration with customers, suppliers, and partner engineering offices straightforward and loss-free. Automated checks validate projects against configurable rules before release, catching inconsistencies that reviews tend to miss. Support and update channels remain available throughout the product lifecycle, keeping installations current and secure. Performance profiling and reporting help teams understand where engineering time is spent and where processes can be tightened further. Documentation, training material, and example projects are included to shorten onboarding for new team members.
New in Version 23. Version 23 brings expanded language support, improved import of legacy projects, and a batch of quality fixes reported by field users. Highlights of 23: more robust communication drivers, safer update procedures, and improved documentation generation. Version 23 modernizes the licensing experience, simplifies installation, and continues the series’ compatibility commitments.
Supported Systems. System requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, 8 GB RAM minimum, 10 GB free disk space, and administrator rights for installation and device communication.
