Open source under GPL-3.0-or-later.

(02)What's inside

Engineering01

Studio

Editor with an inspector, layers, alignment, pipes, layouts and 100 undo levels.

abSCADA Studio
Operation02

Runtime

Operate in a separate window. Design changes take effect when runtime restarts.

Communication03

S7 · ADS · Modbus · OPC UA

Connect over S7, ADS, Modbus TCP and OPC UA with signing and encryption. Configure bindings with forms; each connection acquires independently.

Data integrity04

Alarms

Hysteresis, delays, priorities and ACK with comments. Losing communication is never mistaken for the process returning to normal.

Logging05

SQLite historian

Daily logging, automatic retention, trends with up to 8 axes and original data export to CSV.

Automation06

Python scripts

Event-driven scripts and periodic tasks in separate processes with time limits.

Reuse07

Libraries

Standard symbols, project objects and versioned external libraries. Drag objects onto the canvas and bind their parameters.

Security08

Users and roles

Accounts, role and control permissions, lockout after failed attempts and command auditing.

Languages09

Multilingual projects

Write and translate project texts in several languages. Switch language in runtime without restarting acquisition or closing windows.

Traceability10

Every save, a version

JSON projects and automatic Git versions. Review history and compare changes with any editor.

(03)From design to operation
01

Design

Drag controls, draw pipes and compose layouts with a fixed header.

Design
02

Bind

Variable structures bound field by field to Siemens DBs or Modbus registers.

Bind
03

Operate

Open Runtime in its own window and operate with live values and visible quality.

Operate
04

Analyse

Real-time and historical trends with cursor, zoom and multiple axes.

Analyse
05

Watch

Pending, active, history and events. ACK with operator and comment.

(05)Who it's for

(06)For developers

Python scripts with a clear API, version-friendly JSON projects, packaged object libraries and a simple contract to add new protocols.
