The ISaGRAF Technician License for SCADAPack and SCADAPack E-Series controllers is for field technicians who need only to download controller code and monitor process values in real time. Price: $390

Simulation can identify potential problems and process constraints, and alternate scenarios can be validated in a virtual environment saving costs associated with downtime on the plant floor. Price: $3,000.

Multi-CAD module allows UGNX data to be imported directly into current CATIA V5 sessions. Items maintain links to the original data, ensuring that any subsequent modifications to the UGNX part or assembly will be automatically updated in the CATIA V5 session.

SNAP PAC Sim software provides the functionality of a SNAP PAC programmable automation controller in a Microsoft Windows-based PC.

The Material Balance Module (MBM) for Advanced Real-time Performance Modeling (ARPM) suite, is a flowsheet-based solution that uses advanced mass and volume reconciliation to reveal sources of random error, bias, and gross error that jeopardize the accuracy of real-time plant data.

Version 5.0 of ISaGRAF has been confirmed by TÜV Rheinland to be compliant with the requirements detailed in the IEC 61131-3 standard. ISaGRAF 5 incorporates both the IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499 standards.

Enhancements include Adaptive Feed Control, which adapts the contouring feed rate to spindle performance, and Global Program Settings for tool and mold making. Other functions are available, from swapping or mirroring axes to entering additional data.

FlexRay rest bus simulation provides a simulation environment for one or more control devices, so that they can be tested independently of other nodes. This includes the generation of message traffic that is necessary for the device to be tested and reaction to messages.

Enhancements include a setup wizard that makes it easy to set up new or existing networks. The user can see the name of each radio and review which slaves are communicating with the master and which slaves are communicating through repeaters. The user can choose to set alarms to appear at the bottom of the screen, make a sound, display a pop-up or send an e-mail/text message. A free version can be downloaded.

The latest version includes 30 product enhancements that help users simplify programming and configuration and ease maintenance and troubleshooting of control and information systems. These include user-defined add-on instructions designed to improve standardization and code reuse; integrated drives configuration; Kinematics robot control; FuzzyDesigner to create fuzzy logic algorithms; and Logix alarm instructions.

TwinCAT automation software now conforms to OPC UA (Unified Architecture). The new OPC UA standard is based on TCP communication and is, therefore, platform-independent. The "Unified Architecture" specification creates the basis for new platform-independent communication and information technologies.

AutoManager View 2007 PC desktop solution helps people across the enterprise to quickly view, print, compare and annotate engineering documents. Supporting over 200 different file formats, AutoManager View 2007 views all CAD, Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat documents from a single integrated and user-friendly environment. It includes support for AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks.

CAD-CONNECT Labeling Software generates labels quickly and easily within CAD programs such as AutoCAD and Visio. CAD-CONNECT eliminates the steps and time spent manually copying identifiers into labeling software.

RSLogix 5000 v.15 programming software allows users in these countries to more easily access a programming environment in their native language. RSLogix 5000 has also been updated to support UNICODE based text so users can create project documentation using languages that require double byte characters such as Kanji.
