Controllers
|
SoftPLCs can be used for applications small to large - simple machine control, RTUs, line controls, through plant-wide DCS systems. |
|
All SoftPLC controllers have the same rich core set of features and functions. |

|
NeoPAC Controllers
|
|
|
A SoftPLC NeoPAC is physically small, yet functionally huge.
NeoPAC is perfect for a
wide range of applications!
A NeoPAC includes:
|
MLX Micros
|
|
|
The MLX family of SoftPLCs address low I/O count applications. The MLX SoftPLCs combine a CPU with an I/O block.
The MLX SoftPLC is a
great alternative to A-B MicroLogix. It
is similar in size and I/O mix, plus you
can re-use existing logic, HMI’s and
other networked devices.
|
Hardbooks
|
|
|
The Hardbook SoftPLC is a family of open architecture controller CPUs that can connect to a wide variety of I/O and communication networks. Each model has unique hardware characteristics, but all include:
|
Programming Software
TOPDOC NexGen Editor for SoftPLC
|
|
TOPDOC® NexGen is the programming and configuration software for all SoftPLCs. Its sleek user interface means both infrequent and "power" users can easily access the features and functions they need. |
|
I/O
Tealware I/O
Smart Backplane3 CPU with
Tealware Modules
|
Tealware™ is a high density modular I/O system, suitable for applications requiring as few as 16 digital and/or 4 analog points up through thousands of I/O points.
|
|
Tealware can also be used as Ethernet I/O
with any SoftPLC CPU or
3rd party system that can drive ModbusTCP
I/O.
|
|
Other I/O
|
SoftPLC Corp. offers and supports these
I/O products, in addition to Tealware: |
|
|
The MLX series is a compact block of Ethernet I/O with a mix of digital/analog points. |
|
|
The A-Series includes modules with many digital/analog signal options for use on Ethernet or serial networks. |
|
|
Plus, with SoftPLC’s included
drivers and communication ports, you
can use I/O products from many vendors
with any SoftPLC
CPU.

|
|
Continuing to use obsolete PLC systems is risky, and not only due to abysmal spare parts availability. Time and money can be lost due to PLC limits and other factors such as programming software not being compatible with new PC’s.
We provide fantastic, limited downtime,
inexpensive upgrade
paths for A-B PLC’s - superior to those
from Rockwell Automation!
|
A-B PLC-2, PLC-3, & PLC-5 Programming Software
A-B PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5 programming
software is still available from SoftPLC
Corp.
|
|
|
Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) has obsoleted their programming software for the PLC-2, PLC-3, and PLC-5, hoping to "motivate" you to purchase new hardware, even for systems that are still meeting your needs. |
|
|
Since 1984 we continue to provide software for A-B PLC’s, called TOPDOC®, and it runs on modern PC’s! |
|
Also see our excellent upgrade options from older A-B PLC’s to a state-of-the-art SoftPLC CPU, using your existing A-B I/O and networks. |

Gateways/IIoT
A-B Migrations
|
SoftPLC RIO/DH+ Gateways help you replace equipment in phases (eg: drives, HMI’s, scales, robots) in outdated Allen-Bradley PLC-based control systems - eliminating the need to obtain funding or scheduling a lengthy downtime for a complete rip/replace project. |
|
|
Our migration solutions are suitable whether you want to continue to use Rockwell Automation products, move to another vendor’s products, or a combination. |

SCADA/HMIs
SCADA Software
SoftPLC Web Studio SCADA array of screens
|
|
SoftPLC Web Studio is supervisory control and data acquisition software (SCADA) that includes the building blocks for even the largest systems, yet is priced to be practical for even smaller operator interface (HMI) applications. It features graphical operator interface, alarms, trends, logic, recipes, reports, database interface, and more. |
|
The same development software can be used to create applications for any of our HMI’s or to run on your own Windows computers, from mobile devices up through redundant Windows Server systems. |
