New Designer IDE
Complete and Easy to Use

  • All core modules included out-of-the-box with a renewed IDE.
  • Solution Designer with a new and easier-to-use configuration IDE, with multiple window management, built-in change tracking, integration with runtime for monitoring and diagnostics, and much more. Run the Solution Designer with no installation required.
  • New Drawing User Interface with Enhanced usability for managing industrial icons, symbols, and graphical components. Includes portability between WPF and HTML5.
  • Execution Profiles for Solutions allow easy setup of profiles when the project is opened from development, validation, or production environments.
  • Seamless integration between Engineering and Runtime.



Multi-Platform Targets

  • Extended support for .NET 8  allows deploying the application runtime to multiple types of hardware platforms and operating systems. The system can be deployed directly on the target device or using a Docker container.  Multi-platform features include the EdgeGateway for Cisco Routers and the EdgeGateway for Universal Robots.   
  • 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 Web and Runtime

  • HTML5 Web Assembly Displays 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 so 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 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.

  • Memory Usage Improvements with approximately 50% reduction in memory requirements on running solutions. Powering better performance in large size and mission critical applications.



Technologies Enhancements

  • New Built-in Code editor for C#, VB.NET, JavaScript and Python languages,  or XML, HTML or JSON documents, and SQL queries. 
  • WebData and WebServices so you can exchange JSON and XML data with other applications, either by reading or writing files, or using the HTTP REST APIs and Web Services integration tools.
  • Intermix Python and .NET clases
  • Test Python scripts within the Designer



Web Trends and Alarms

  • Designer Improved Monitoring, with new Monitor pages for all modules.
  • Designer Historian Monitor displays TrendCharts with no configuration required. 
  • Designer Alarms Monitor displays AlarmViewer with no configuration required. 
  • Open a browser URL pointing to any Solution Running and access Trend Charts and Alarms (no configuration or installation required)



Data Explorer Tools

  • MQTT and OPC-UA Data Explorer to 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 Tester to execute and modify your queries. DataGrids to explore queries results.
  • Connect to any device, controller, ERP, Cloud, and Historian.
  • 70+ communication protocols included.



Unified Namespace Tools

  • New Unified Namespace Tools for combining tags, asset folders, and data source 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 for Distributed Systems: easily create distributed architectures by deploying a Solution Server that manages global resources (Unified Namespaces, Data Acquisition, and other processes) and connects with applications implementing independent business logic and frontend displays. JSON has also been added as a new data type.
  • New TagProviders Connections allow you to consume data defined and hosted in external systems. You can now connect to InfluxDB, GE Historian, and OSIsoft PI, enabling concurrent use of external sources with the built-in native historians: SQL Database and Canary Historian.



No Cost Configuration Tools

One of the goals of Version 10 is to provide a quick, low-cost start to new solutions, create prototypes, and reduce TCO. The new Designer tools, which install in less then one minute, have no usage restrictions. When connecting to a server with WebServices enabled, you can even use the Designer from the remote server without local installation. Runtime execution allows two hours of resettable time for testing. For business use and production, runtime evolution isn't authorized; contact us to learn about runtime licensing options.



Additional Features and Improvements

Designer usability and runtime performance are significantly enhanced throughout the platform, with dozens of refinements that make development faster and deployment easier.

  • ComboBox and ListBox controls now support binding to SQL queries.

  • Trend Charts can connect directly to SQL databases.

  • CSV and JSON export/import enhancements simplify documentation and version control integration.

  • Upgrade improvements allow one-click upgrades with optimized solution file size.

  • Script-Historian integration enables using custom scripts as Historian target databases.

  • Alarm acknowledgment tracking includes a new state to monitor whether an alarm returns to normal while still active, supporting advanced acknowledgment rules.

  • Automatic TCP/IP port allocation and simplified Windows Service setup for managing multiple running projects.

  • Themes rebuilt from the ground up, with improved usability and new built-in options for easier styling across web and desktop.

  • Mobile layouts are now easier to define when creating layouts.
