Complete and Easy to Use

• All core modules included out-of-the-box.
• Execution Profiles for Solutions allows easy-to-set-up profiles when the Project is opened from development, validation, or production environments. 
• New External TagProviders, that allow you to consume data that is defined and hosted in external systems. Now, you can also connect to InfluxDB, GE Historian, OSIsoft PI, enabling concurrent use of external sources with the built-in native historians: SQL Database and Canary Historian. 
• Improved Monitoring: one for each module + track changes: Seamless integration between Engineering and Runtime.

Scalable and Unlimited

• Scalable Enterprise Pricing available as you expand
• Unlimited license includes Unlimited Clients, any type of Client, Rich Desktop, Web Deployed Thin Client and HTML5.

High-Performance and New Technologies

• HTML5 Web Assembly Displays. It enables .NET  C#, VB.NET and JavaScript programming for Web pages. The Web displays leverages WebAssembly, technology, allowing to run on current browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari with no installation of plug-ins.

• WPF and HTML5 automatic conversion: you don't need to create two different kinds of screens for Windows and Web clients. Simply use our Draw environment to create the displays and will automatically create them in both HTML5 and WPF.

• Portable Controls API: it allows to create and add external controls, that will be compatible both with WPF and HTML5. It allows easy integration of third-party libraries and controls.

• WebData and WebServices: data exchange of JSON and XML data with other applications, either by reading or writing files, or using the HTTP REST APIs and Web Services integration tools.

Enhanced Solution Designer and Code Editor

• Solution Designer. New and easier to use configuration IDE, with multiple windows management, built-in tracking changes, integration with runtime for monitoring and diagnostics, and much more. Run the Solution Designer with no install.
• New Drawing User Interface, enhanced usability for managing industrial icons, symbols, and graphical components. Includes portability between WPF and HTML5, and a new connecter to represent connection and flow, such as pipes and energy lines.
• New Built-in Code editor: for C#, VB.NET, JavaScript and Python languages,  or XML, HTML or JSON documents, and SQL queries. 

Multi-Platform Targets

• Extended support for .NET 6  allows deploying the application runtime  to multiple types of hardware platform and operating systems. The system can be deployed directly at the target device, or using a Docker container.  Multi-platform features include the EdgeGateway for Cisco Routers and the EdgeGateway for Universal Robots.   

Open Connectivity and Data Explorer Tools

• Connect to any device, controller, ERP, Cloud, and Historian
• 70+ communication protocols included.
• MQTT and OPC-UA Data Explorer: Browse OPC Servers or MQTT brokers. Activate the included Simulation tools, the native MQTT built-in broker, or the native OPC-UA server. 
• PLC Network Finder, and Browsing for Rockwell ControlLogix and Codesys enabled PLCs. 
• SQL Queries Editor, VisualQueryBuild and DataGrids to Explore SQL Database information. 

Unified Namespace Tools

• New Unified Namespace Tools, combining tags, asset folders, and data sources configuration tools in an integrated user interface, making it easier to combine Local Tags and Remote data sources, and browse tag values as you add elements. Support to Distributed Systems: easy create distributed architectures deploying a Solution Server that manages global resources (Unified Namespaces, Data Acquisition and other processes) and vainer Applications connected with that Solution implementing independent business logic and frontend displays to company areas and  group of users. We've also added JSON as a new data type.

Free Engineering 

One of the goals of version 10 is to provide a quick low cost start to new Solution, create prototypes, and reduce TCO. The new Designer tools, which install in less than 10 seconds, has no restriction to its usage. When connecting to a Server with WebServices enable, you can even use the Designer from the remote Server, with no local installation. Runtime execution allows two hours of resettable time for testing, for business use and production, the runtime evolution isn't authorized, contact us to learn about the runtime licensing options.

Additional Features and Improvements

• ComboBox and ListBox populated from SQL databases.
• Trend Chart connecting directly from SQL databases.
• Enhanced export and import features: import and export of CSV and JSON, facilitating project documentation and integration with third-party version control systems.   (Add more information on Versions Management tools)
• Memory Usage Improvements: Approximately 50% reduction in memory requirements on running solutions. Powering better performance in large size and mission critical applications. Upgrading is as simple as clicking one button, and it'll result in smaller, more efficient solutions.
• Scripts and Historian Integration. It allows for easy use of a custom script, as a Historian TargetDB, for archiving or retrieving data. 
• Alarm Acknowledgement Enhancements: additional state to track if an alarm returns to a normalized and active status, allowing to require acknowledgment of current alarm condition, and the previous ones. 
• Automatic management of TCP/IP connection ports, option to automatically allocate ports when running multiple projects. Tools for easier installation as a Windows Service for multiple projects. 
• Improved support to Themes. We've build those from scratch so it's easier to use and added more.
• Mobile layouts: when defined layouts, easier definition for the mobile version
