All SoftPLC CPUs come with a the embedded SoftPLC® runtime software, giving all systems the same rich set of features, same programming, etc. Every SoftPLC is a high-performance, feature-rich Programmable Automation Controller (PAC), combining the functions of a proprietary PLC with the benefits of both an open architecture design and computer technologies.

Some key features, which are included in every SoftPLC:

	Reliable solution for both process and machine control
	Deterministic, high speed program execution
	"Unlimited" user logic and data table memory
	Ladder logic and data table addressing similar to Allen-Bradley PLC-5/SLC-500
	Fully documented applications, all documentation resides in the SoftPLC controller
	Supports I/O systems and other devices from hundreds of vendors
	Supports a wide variety of ethernet and industrial network and serial protocols
	Advanced network security functions
	Compatible with all HMI/SCADA products, including user generated PC based operator interfaces
	Embedded web server
	Supports user functions written in C++ or Java

Smart SoftPLC

Smart SoftPLC's are appropriate for applications ranging from small, low I/O count needs to large, distributed control systems. All Smart SoftPLC's have an embedded ethernet switch (w/ fiber option), 5 serial ports, embedded phone modem option, and a wide choice of I/O interfaces to SoftPLC's Tealware I/O or hundreds of other vendor I/O via Ethernet, or industrial bus interfaces such as Profibus, DeviceNet, etc. Virtually unlimited memory capacity, built-in data logging, powerful data handling, and other standard features of all SoftPLC systems such as on-board application documentation are included, as are options for advanced functions such as embedded web server, embedded firewall, and more.

SoftPLC in Tealware

SoftPLC In Tealware™ is an advanced, traditional hardware format controller system. Products include compact rack-mounted components such as CPU's, power supplies, and I/O modules. CPU bases can accommodate from 4 to 8 I/O modules, and both local and remote I/O expansion capabilities allow a single CPU to control up to 16,384 I/O points. SoftPLC In Tealware also supports redundant, hot-standby operation.

Hardbook Processors

Hardbook CPUs are compact, low-cost controllers that can handle most applications. Hardbooks are ideal for ethernet I/O applications, whether Tealware I/O or another vendor's I/O is used. Via included ports and expansion slots, the Hardbooks support a wide range of I/O serial devices and third-party products.

SoftPLC Processors

SoftPLC Processors™ are CPU's that are available with a wide variety of expansion options. There is virtually no limit as to system capacity or possible configurations.

RTU's

SoftPLC RTU's are designed specifically for remote, distributed installations. Built to withstand harsh environments, SoftPLC RTU's operate up to -40°C to +85°C. Extensive communications are included for not only direct serial and ethernet, but also a variety of modern media options.
