Platform Highlights
| Built on .NET .NET is a technology, developed by Microsoft and deeply integrated with the Windows ecosystem, which is widely used in many industrial settings. This technology makes it easier to build applications that work seamlessly with existing infrastructure as it installs side by side on your computer and will never cause a lockup, with significant performance that often outperforms Java in various benchmarks and allows you to deploy the application runtime to multiple types of hardware platforms and operating systems. |
| Completely Integrated Tools Tatsoft offers a comprehensive suite of integrated tools, the FrameworX architecture enables you to develop in a single environment and deploy the necessary components from the server to the edge, based on your requirements. The architecture provides a more flexible and scalable solution for automation and control applications, allowing faster development, simplified maintenance, and enhanced adaptability to changing requirements |
| Truly Unlimited and Server Based FrameworX offers unlimited I/O connectivity, unlimited application development engineers working simultaneously on the same project, and unlimited runtime clients from each server, all with cost-effective pricing! Because FrameworX is server based, it connects unlimited client computers with zero installation on them required. |
| Multiple Code Language Support Our code editor enables .NET, C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, Python, JSON and .XML programming to give you the flexibility you need to develop your industrial applications using the technology you prefer. Web Assembly and HTML5 deliver a visually impactful user experience through resolution independence, and supports publishing pages for rich clients, .NET click-once thin clients, browser-based, and mobile clients. |
| Connectivity is Key The most powerful platform is nothing without data: and with FrameworX, connectivity is a key feature. We include over 50 native protocol drivers, at no extra cost, to PLCs, robots, DCS, and other intelligent devices, and they all run in .NET allowing a higher level of performance, security and isolation. Our External Tags allow you to connect dynamically to external data sources and consume their Namespaces. FrameworX provides a built-in MQTT Broker, SparkPlugB Client and an OPC-UA Data Explorer. Every license includes an embedded Tatsoft Canary Historian, licensed for 500 tags, also at no extra cost, that you can use alone or with other databases. |
| Security at the Core FrameworX was designed to enable applications on mission-critical systems, in various segments, including Energy, with NERC requirements, Oil&Gas, Pharma with FDA requirements, and various other segments. Independently of regulations requirements, all applications, small to large, HMI to IoT, benefit from the stable and reliable infra-structure and strong security protections inherent to the platform. |
| Perfect for White-Label, built for OEMs Tatsoft has a long history of successfully partnering with many types of OEMs to help them deliver more value to their customers using our robust software platform. We work with machine builders, automation companies, process skid providers and vertical software solutions groups and have delivered thousands of OEM software systems. |
| Specialists Available to You Our team works closely with our customers to build the solutions they need: we're always developing customizations – flexibility is at our core. Because our company specializes in this industry, we are always looking at new features and improvements that could help current and future customers. |
Product Family
FrameworX Unlimited comes complete with unlimited clients, I/O and development, a server-based platform with all the tools you need. But if you'd like to have something that more closely fits the size of your application, we also offer three additional product families:
- FactoryStudio scales based on the number of real-world I/O & clients.
- Edge HMI scales by real-world I/O and toolset.
- Edge Gateway is for embedded device communications, data migration, and processing at the edge or as a flexible secure gateway.
For even more flexibility, we also offer our FrameworX Unlimited licensing in a perpetual or subscription option.
FrameworX delivers an enabling platform for limitless real-time, scalable edge-to-cloud solutions.
Applications You Can Build
SCADA
FrameworX extends beyond the entire spectrum of expected SCADA functionality and real-time database concepts toward IT systems, including objects such as data structures, dynamic arrays, images, time events, and data tables. All these functionalities have a tight connection to the supported .NET languages used for scripting custom logic and calculation engines.
HMI
FrameworX has a wide range of built-in PLC protocols and has a special version for HMI and embedded systems. Create fast, robust, and secure HMIs that provide real-time graphics, trending, alarms, and alerts. Ready for Industry 4.0 so you can answer the need for actionable information and actionable intelligence.
EDGE AND IIOT
Tatsoft’s Edge and IIoT Gateway were created from the ground up with safety technologies that fully embrace the IIoT and edge of your network computing. Our open and layered platform includes OPC UA and MQTT with SparkplugB support, we also include a full range of device connectivity.
MES
Tatsoft helps manufacturing companies gain visibility and achieve operational improvements with our flexible software platform. Tatsoft’s FrameworX can help with performance monitoring, downtime tracking, track and trace, shop floor scheduling, batch tracking, and more.
INTELLIGENCE HUB AND PRESENTATION LAYER
FrameworX can help you deliver applications such as PIMS (Plant Information Management Systems), delivered on the business network connecting information from multiple lines or sites. We have native connections to multiple data sources, such as real-time protocols, SQL databases, Historians Tools, and Cloud Databases, as well as IT network management protocols. Our scripting tools (in C#, VB.NET and Python) allow you to create workflows, process logic, and business logic. Our powerful graphic tools have specific features for real-time displays combining those data sources to create a source-independent and cloud-ready presentation layer.
Create powerful operational dashboards for factory-floor, management, IT, and more, to maintain and monitor your data in any vertical in the industrial stack.
ALARMING
The Alarm tools are an integral component of FrameworX’s core real-time engine. The Alarm engine in FrameworX has built-in multithreading and exception control for maximum performance and reliability. Unlimited alarm conditions at the tag level are available to create the exact alarm and notification system you need for your application.
