Schneider Electric CEGMON5ADD EcoStruxure Control Engineering License for 5 PLCs, Digital Software

This software license is part of the EcoStruxure Control Engineering range, a set of software engineering tools for industrial automation, compatible with Schneider Electric and third-party PLCs and PACs. EcoStruxure Control Engineering - Monitoring, formerly ICS Monitoring, is a diagnostics solution to support the troubleshooting of control systems. CEGMON5ADD is an additional perpetual license giving access to the EcoStruxure Control Engineering - Monitoring solution for additional 5 PLCs after the basic license. The tool helps operators and developers get a quick understanding of the current state of system with a simple flow tree representation of the program animated with live variable values. This tool is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application and supports the five IEC 61131-3 languages and different types of PLC makes and models providing users one tool to use even with mixed installed bases. The solution can be accessed through a web browser and login. For the solution to retrieve the live data from the control system, either a communication server needs to be set up with OPC DA or direct communication with Modbus TCP. This software tool is intended for end users, system integrators, and original equipment manufacturers from any industrial sector, such as automotive, energy, food and beverage, packaging, water wastewater, manufacturing, infrastructure. The tool supports many PLC program types, including EcoStruxure Control Expert and EcoStruxure Machine Expert, as well as from many other vendors. It helps improve productivity when it comes to managing the control software lifecycle, and thus helps reduce engineering time and costs during development and/or maintenance of the control applications. This tool based on GLIPS technology brings in software engineering techniques from IT and embedded software to industrial automation for formalized development process like increased productivity, quality, efficiency, maintainability.
