logiccloud CONTROL

Features at a glance.

Develop automation applications in the browser, run them on edge or cloud systems and look after them centrally.

Development in the browser

  • Integrated development environment

    Work on PLC program, visualisation and interfaces in one shared project environment.

  • Structured Text

    Develop control programs with programs, functions, function blocks and your own data types.

  • Object-oriented programming

    Use methods, classes, interfaces and namespaces.

  • Reusable libraries

    Organise functions and blocks in libraries and use them across projects.

  • Different project types

    Create PLC applications with HMI, pure HMI applications and reusable libraries.

  • Configurable tasks

    Run programs cyclically or triggered.

  • Convenient variable management

    Edit inputs, outputs and configuration variables in tables, and import or export them.

  • Project transfer

    Duplicate and export projects and import them on another target platform.

  • Fix errors faster

    Find syntax and build errors directly in the code and correct them precisely.

AI assistance for programming

  • Integrated AI assistant

    Get development support directly in the IDE.

  • Explain and document code

    Understand existing programs faster and describe them traceably.

  • Rework code

    Get support refactoring Structured Text programs.

  • Create project parts

    Create POUs, folders and HMI pages with the project assistant.

  • Review changes deliberately

    Accept or reject proposed code changes in a comparison view.

  • Choice of model

    Use AI models from different providers with your own API key.

Web HMI and visualisation

  • Visual HMI editor

    Design operator interfaces by drag and drop.

  • Responsive interfaces

    Adapt layouts to different screen sizes with configurable breakpoints.

  • Wide range of controls

    Use buttons, input fields, drop-down lists, sliders and switches.

  • Show process values

    Use gauges, status indicators and numeric and text displays.

  • Alarm widgets

    Show alarms from the integrated alarm manager directly in the operator interface.

  • Flexible page layout

    Combine panels, grid, flexbox, header, footer, sidebars and pop-ups.

  • Navigation

    Make pages and external content reachable through menus and navigation elements.

  • Reusable components

    Create your own HMI components and parameterise them with different variables and texts.

  • Central component maintenance

    Changes to a component definition carry over to its instances automatically.

  • Individual design

    Create and apply themes and transfer them between projects.

  • Extensible display

    Integrate SVG graphics, images, embedded web pages and Grafana charts.

Connectivity and data integration

  • Industrial communication

    Connect OPC UA client and server, Modbus TCP and RTU, IO-Link and EtherCAT.

  • Messaging and data distribution

    Use MQTT, Sparkplug and Kafka for data exchange.

  • IT and data integration

    Integrate HTTP, REST-RPC, InfluxDB, Node-RED and SAP.

  • Hardware integration

    Connect ctrlX Data Layer, Raspberry Pi, Revolution Pi, WAGO CC100 and Weidmüller u-OS, among others.

  • Live browsing

    Browse OPC UA servers, ctrlX Data Layer and Revolution Pi signals and take over available data points.

  • Uniform variable mapping

    Map process variables to the interfaces in one shared table view.

  • Reuse configurations

    Import and export connections individually, by type or all together.

Alarm management

  • Integrated alarm manager

    Configure alarms with priority, category, plant area and limits.

  • Complete alarm lifecycle

    Raise, acknowledge, shelve temporarily, suppress and close alarms.

  • Alarm history

    Trace state changes with timestamps.

  • Alarm forwarding by email

    Forward alarms by email to defined recipients.

  • Consistent alarm data

    Use the same alarms in the HMI, the logiccloud IDE and email notifications.

  • Persistent alarm state

    Acknowledgements and other alarm states survive a runtime restart.

Commissioning and diagnostics

  • Online debugging

    Inspect running applications and watch variable values.

  • Watchlists

    Put together the variables that matter for diagnosis.

  • Live trends

    Analyse variable histories as charts with zoom.

  • Runtime monitoring

    Evaluate execution times, cycle intervals and skipped cycles.

  • Service logs

    View and copy logs and set the level of detail.

Edge and cloud operation

  • Multiple target platforms

    Build applications for cloud, x86-64, ARM32 and ARM64.

  • Container-based installation and deployment

    Installation with Docker or Podman, deployment via Kubernetes and MARGO.

  • Central runtime management

    Deploy, start, stop and restart applications.

  • Transfer configurations

    Export, import and duplicate runtime configurations.

  • Scope that fits the need

    Run applications without HMI and add optional device services.

  • Device status at a glance

    Monitor devices, processes and activities in the logiccloud IDE.

Users, projects and licences

  • Organisation management

    Assign users, projects and devices to an organisation.

  • Granular access rights

    Grant permissions through roles and groups.

  • Project-based access

    Give individual users access to specific projects.

  • Licence management

    Activate licences and check their status on the edge device.

  • Reports and dashboards

    Evaluate licence and usage information.
