Optima PLC is a PLC software on PC including a user-friendly and efficient software workshop for programming PLC tasks.
Optima PLC is compliant with the standard IEC61131-3, defining the programming languages standardised used on programmable logic controller.
With OPTIMA PLC, schedule and run your plc programs on a platform Windows. The programming is carried out from the languages of the standard IEC 61131-3 : IT, ST, FBD, LADDER and diagram SFC (Sfc).
Attention : OPTIMA PLC is not a tool designed to program plcs classic, but a controller on PC.
Optima PLC allows to achieve high performance, thanks to theoptimization push the native code generated, as well as its real-time kernel built-in and taking the hand on Windows. It is also possible to perform online changes, with a time of interruption of the function of plc in the order of one to five milliseconds..
The installation package ofOPTIMA PLC contains a dedicated version ofOPTIMA VIEW, which allows you to easily carry the operator interface comprehensive and user-friendly.
It is possible to download and test the product for free for a period of 30 days. If you have questions about the product during this trial period, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will do our best to assist you.
Page download you can also see the full documentation of the product, this is so that you can form an opinion of the functional richness single proposed by OPTIMA PLC.
All of the features ofOPTIMA PLC in fact, a tool particularly well suited in many areas of theprocess automation. The different versions inflected allows use in all situations where a style of programming, plc is required.
Rather than using an oversight on PC more of a controller classic, OPTIMA PLC supports unified the entire treatment. The resulting system is more homogeneous and more accessible to end users, who, in an industrial environment, have a better understanding of the maintenance of a plc program a program in C or basic.
The experience of our customers testifies : OPTIMA PLC is the ideal product for the automation conscious quality, of productivityand in search of a safe working environment and state of the art.
We are continually listening to the needs of our customers. Please do not hesitate to tell us your needs, we will consider it very quickly in the evolution of the product.

Depending on their needs, our clients see Optima PLC as a controller with opportunities very extensive, or as a supervisor programmable with the same languages as the plcs.
This is precisely the strength of this product : Optima PLC is located at the convergence of the controller and the supervisor. It fulfills different tasks, simplifying and unifying them.
For example, it is no longer necessary to program the supervision and to the controller in a different language. End users appreciate being able to visualize, for example, by sfc or ladder, treatment of supervision usually done in C or basic.
Automaton classic | Optima PLC owns all the functions of plcs classic and you can set an application with the adapted languages : ladder programming, programming grafcet. |
Plc high-end | The programs can be modified online, and the controller incorporates advanced features : email sending, network communication, remote control, visualization capabilities built-in, management of users and their rights, logging information... |
Supervisor | A complete user interface can be developed with Optima PLC and built-in tools. More software Optimalog that interface natively with Optima PLC multiply the possibilities maintaining a great simplicity of implementation ; and management of alarms, programming schedule, datalogging, etc... |
Performance | The power of current generation PCS and allows you to respond to a large part of the needs in the industry. |
Application in robotics | Applications of robotic palletizing are driven by Optima PLC with several of our customers.
In addition, Optimalog has developed a module for the definition of plans for pallet interfaced with Optima PLC. |
Industrial Application | Various applications of machine control or special test benches work with Optima PLC. |
Scientific Application | The steering bench or machine analysis, coupled with the possibilities of data processing, archiving, as well as multiple opportunities of tuning allow to Optima PLC to adapt to the needs of scientists. For example, the bench phenotyping of the INRA Montpellier, Phenopsis. |
Application in Building Management Systems (BMS) | The different facets of Optima PLC to make it a particularly interesting tool in the field of BMS, thanks to its extended capabilities, monitoring, archiving, programming of standard functions. The software optim'alarm (complete management of alarms) and Optima Tracks (programming schedule of the "tracks") as an effective complement to Optima PLC and produce in the end a system well adapted to the needs of the building. |
Application in automatic distribution | Optima PLC is a perfect tool to manage a dispensing machine automatic with a multimedia interface evolved ; in addition, Optima PLC permits to communicate with coiners and standards for machinery in the format of EVA DTS. |
Application in home automation | The qualities required for the BMS are also useful here. Optima PLC, running on a PC basis standard, allows to obtain, at the cost of very interesting features previously found only in large systems. |
Application in the show, stage design | The entire control of the water jets and dynamic lighting Fountains of Warsaw (huge series of water jets located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris), for example, was created by one of our clients (SFAI) in the middle of our software. Various projects have been completed or are in the study, using the opportunities for joint automation and multimedia of Optima PLC, which opens up huge opportunities in the performing and directing. |
Teaching, education | Optima PLC is a tool especially interesting for the training of control engineers. Its deployment on standard PCS is easy, allowing you to easily create applications and simulations, at a very low cost with the release of "Education". |
Optima PLC puts at your disposal the languages of the IEC 61131-3 standard, which are, in fact, the languages, the most popular of control engineers.
The literal language of ST, it also presents multiple benefits : portability, extended possibilities of programming. It enables you to perform programming algorithms more complex, with repetitions and loops.
