New version of free HMI/Process Control software OpenAPC out now
Hi,

after this announcement is related to a product which is completely free I hope it is not misunderstood as spam.

Several years of development now leaded to an almost complete version 1.1 of the free HMI/Process Control/Visualisation software OpenAPC. It offers probably all features that are necessary for professional or advanced usage

- easy to use GUI-designer: the HMI can be created within a WYSIWYG editor directly, all relevant UI-elements are supported, additional elements are available via external plug-ins
- integrated support for data logging
- integrated support for user management: users can have different roles and privileges
- support for touch-screens: input via integrated on-screen-keyboard is included
- integrated plug-in mechanism: many plug-ins and drivers for motion controllers, robots, field buses and other hardware are already included
- simple programming: elements can be concatenated via an easy to understand, graphical wiring diagram
- script programming: processes and logic can be controlled via included Lua and IL (Instruction List) interpreters
- advanced programming: several possibilities to attach own applications, plug-ins and device drivers in different languages like C, C++, Java and others
- open architecture: all programming interfaces are open and fully documented; the SDK contains several plug-ins and drivers as source that can be reused for own applications directly
- platform independence: the software is available for x86, ARM, x86_64 platforms and Windows, QNX and Linux operating systems
- slim, customizable runtime package for usage also on weak embedded hardware

More information are available at http://www.openapc.com , the software, manuals, example projects and the SDK can be downloaded for free at http://www.openapc.com/download.php

Some features are still missing and will be added in the next versions. Therefore all feedback is welcome.

Kind regards
