Teachers, students, academics: discover the straton virtual PLC !

Welcome to the new generation of industrial automation experts.

For teachers, students and researchers working in embedded, automation or development, straton software is a tool that adapts to all types of hardware and environments.

straton software complies with the IEC61131-3 standard and covers all areas of industry and automation control, from embedded solutions to soft PLCs. Thus, straton is ideal for university degree programs (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate).

Straton: the solution for discovering the world of automation

straton software represents an effective solution for integrating PLC functions and communication protocols into a wide range of electronic equipment. Thanks to its compatibility with all types of hardware, straton is recognized worldwide for its performance in the embedded, industrial, energy and automation fields. Aimed primarily at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as well as hardware and software manufacturers, straton stands out for its adaptability and modularity.

Key features

Intuitive development environment

straton’s IEC61131-3 editor is a powerful development environment for applications in a variety of languages (ST, FBD, SFC, LD, IL). It offers numerous tools for fieldbus configuration, automatic configuration (“wizard”) and on-line diagnostics.

Runtime

The straton Runtime, with its small memory footprint, ensures the execution of developed applications. Compatible with a multitude of platforms regardless of hardware configuration and operating system, it supports various drivers and communication protocols such as Modbus, Profinet, BACnet, CANOpen, IEC61850, and IEC60870, giving manufacturers and end-users maximum flexibility in programming their equipment, from PLCs to embedded systems.

Thanks to its features, the straton Runtime is one of the most powerful, versatile and comprehensive PLC software packages on the market – sometimes referred to as a virtual PLC in certain applications.

Application areas

straton is designed to meet the varied needs of embedded systems, platform manufacturers and industrial automation systems, as well as utilities (water, gas and electricity distribution and management).

Equipment covered includes, but is not limited to:

The equipment concerned includes, but is not restricted to :

• PLCs
• RTUs for energy and utilities
• Embedded systems
• Production machines
• Motor or axis controllers
• Intelligent man-machine interfaces (dashboards)

Integration and compatibility

straton’s integration with COPA-DATA’s zenon software platform makes it easy to extend projects from field level to SCADA level. This modular solution adapts to all types of hardware and environments, and can be used as a complete software suite or as independent components integrated into an existing structure.
