InControl Software
Soft Control Logic for Wonderware Products
The InControl™ 7.11 real-time open architecture control component that allows you to design, create, test and run application programs for controlling your process — faster than ever before. The software is based on Microsoft® Windows operating systems.
InControl software provides a more capable and often lower-cost alternative to PLCs. In addition to being able to run on standard, open PC operating systems, InControl software also offers a more robust control package, vastly superior open connectivity and sophisticated logic capabilities to handle complex discrete and batch processes. InControl software also offers greater overall capacity compared to micro-PLCs and lower cost-per-point than midsize PLCs.
InControl software features user-friendly IEC61131-3 Relay Ladder Logic (RLL), Sequential Function Chart (SFC) and Structured Text (ST) editors. It can use popular, low-cost I/O from a variety of open I/O system suppliers (e.g., Opto22, Grayhill, Sixnet).
InControl software uses Microsoft's most current DNA technologies, such as ActiveX® controls and COM+ to ensure a robust and flexible design. This approach enhances the functionality and robustness of the package, while providing seamless integration with a wide variety of software and hardware solutions from various industrial automation vendors.
When connected to FactorySuite A² products, InControl software provides advanced scripting and a real-time information application engine, plus powerful communication capabilities for easy, thorough information integration.
Offering an OPC Data Access client, server functionality, a modular design and Wonderware's exclusive SuiteLink™ protocol for communications, InControl real-time control software provides exceptional flexibility and scalability.
