One tool for everything

Applics Studio is MRS Electronic's future-proof development environment for programming, configuring, and diagnosing ECUs in vehicles and mobile machinery.

Applics Studio simplifies the programming of controllers that operate with CAN, LIN, or input/output (I/O) signals, even for those with limited prior knowledge. The software offers an intuitive user interface, supports graphical programming according to IEC 61131-3, and enables diagnostics via CAN, LIN, or J1939. Thanks to its integrated programming functions, Applics Studio is suitable for both development engineers and field service technicians.

Unified Development Standard: Applics Studio Completely Replaces Developers Studio

In a significant step toward standardization, Applics Studio now completely replaces the previously used Developers Studio. Developers Studio was primarily used for programming 8-bit and 16-bit controllers and gateways. From now on, all these MRS products—regardless of their processor architecture—will be programmed using Applics Studio.

“With Applics Studio, we are creating a seamless toolchain for our entire product range. Because we develop our tools entirely in-house, we have complete control over their technical development. Customers benefit from a modern user interface, powerful diagnostic functions, and intuitive operation,” explains Martin Rentschler, Head of Software Development at MRS Electronic.

Clear Benefits for Developers and OEMs

The advantages of the switch are obvious: By standardizing the development environment, training requirements are reduced, operation is simplified, and project duration is shortened. Developers can configure, program, and test all ECUs and gateways with just one tool—from compact 8-bit products to high-performance 32-bit controllers.

Highlights of Applics Studio

• Graphical programming with function blocks (IEC 61131-3) or in C
• Diagnostic, flash, and test functions
• Fast programming and flexible adaptation in the field
• Full support for CAN, LIN, J1939, and more
• Central platform for development, commissioning, and support

In addition, there are numerous useful functions:

• Creating user variables that can be used in graphical programming
• Easy configuration of CAN telegrams and data points for CAN and CAN FD
• Individual renaming of module pins for improved clarity
• Import and export of SYM and DBC
• Custom graphical blocks can be created with C code and managed in libraries.

With the complete integration of all current generations of controllers and gateways into Applics Studio, MRS Electronic is raising the bar for programming. Customers receive a powerful, intuitive, and future-proof tool—ready for the demands of the modern automotive world. The workshops for beginners and advanced users from MRS Electronic are an ideal opportunity to get to know the Applics Studio and the products better.
