--- title: "Features at a glance — logiccloud CONTROL" description: "All features of logiccloud CONTROL: development, AI assistant, web HMI, connectivity, alarms, diagnostics, edge and cloud operation, users and licences." url: https://logiccloud.com/en/products/control/features/ language: en-GB --- 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. ## Try it yourself?
