OpenAPC is an Open Source APC (Advanced Process Control) solution which is highly flexible and configurable, and covers a wide range of automation, visualization and process control tasks from home control up to industrial automation. Control applications created with the OpenAPC editors visual interface can perform several tasks - dependent on how the application is configured and used:* Visualisation* HMI / Human Machine Interface (or MMI / Man Machine Interface)* PLC / process control* SCADA / supervisory control, data acquisition and processing The OpenAPC software package offers some advanced features like:* Flexible network-capability* Open plugin interface for adding new controls and interfaces* Easy connection, handshake and co-processing of different OpenAPC instances* Platform-independence: the same OpenAPC-project can be used on Windows™, WindowsCE™ Windows XPe™, Linux™, Mac OS X™ and more* Easy project creation via visual editor* Separated applications for editing, debugging and a highly optimized one for running an OpenAPC project so that the final project can be executed without problems also on weak hardware platforms But ... there are several MMI/SCADA applications out there - why just an other application of this type?The question to that answer is simple: OpenAPC is different to all applications that are out there. Or to be more detailled:* OpenAPC is really portable and platform-independent: when choosing it as your control application you are not locked to one particular operating system for all time. In worst case you can transfer your existing project files to an other system easily, there is no need for expensive porting.* OpenAPC offers open programming interfaces to the outer world you can utilitize without licensing restrictions. So you do not have to share the unique characteristics of your product with others (including us): you can adapt an plug-in for the hardware that makes the difference between you and your competitors and still use the functionality of OpenAPC. So you do not need to write your own software just for keeping your business secrets.* OpenAPC is very flexible: not only the open programming interfaces but also the internal structure of the application allow you to solve very different tasks. That means on the one side you can\'t say easily what kind of application OpenAPC really is but on the other side you are not locked to the functionality of a PLC, MMI or SCADA application only. More than this: you can combine the features of different worlds within one application according to your needs.What\'s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]· CNConstruct: bug fixed in line hatching styles· CNConstruct: motion element added to control the additional Control data outputs of the OpenAPC CNConstruct 2 Control plug-in· CNConstruct: point editing functions added (add/delete points/lines)· CNConstruct: support for importing raster images by vectorisation or dithering or as light-table image· CNConstruct: functions added to edit geometries (merge, split, optimize,...)· CNConstruct: support for importing XYZ geometry fileas added· CNConstruct: input element to let OpenAPC projects be able to set data in an CNConstruct project running within OpenPlayer/OpenDebugger· CNConstruct: support for serial numbers and date/time elements· CNConstruct: support for input elements that can modify primary entities· CNConstruct: support for groups/subgroups of elements included· CNConstruct: barcode element added for 1D and 2D barcodes· CNConstruct: crashes fixed in HPGL and CSV export dialogue· CNConstruct: parameter assignment bug corrected in CSV import module· CNConstruct: pens expanded by up to six custom, freely usable parameters· CNConstruct: selecting and manipulation of groups of elements introduced· new plug-ins to extract numbers and characters out of a single CSV line· memory consumption and startup time of Player and Debugger reduced· new conversion-plugin \"Char To Mixed\" to parse strings for contained numbers and substrings· bug fixed in CNConstruct to Control plug-in when loading an other CNCP project file· bug fixed in displayed numeric range of gauge HMI elements· new conversion plug-in \"Control To Number\" to convert motion information to numeric values· new liboapc-functions oapc_util_get_time(), oapc_util_release_time(), oapc_util_get_timeofday() and oapc_util_diff_time()· data storage and motion bugs fixed in MDrive-Plug-In· new standard error codes OAPC_ERROR_CREATE_FILE_FAILED, OAPC_ERROR_OPEN_FILE_FAILED, OAPC_ERROR_WRITE_FILE_FAILED and OAPC_ERROR_READ_FILE_FAILED· logging to file and offset address byte swapping option added for MODBUS TCP plug-ins· MDrive plug-in extended by BSY-output signal and to support new Motion Control binary data· binary structure type OAPC_BIN_SUBTYPE_STRUCT_MOTIONCTRL and struct oapc_bin_struct_motionctrl introduced· useless outputs removed from CNConstruct 2 Control plug-in, Control data outputs added to support the motion element of CNConstruct, character inputs added to modify loaded CNCP projects· data bug fixed in CNConstruct 2 Control plug-in· displaying bug fixed in Vector 2D HMI Element, default field coordinates and Y-orientation corrected· new XML configuration description element \"dirselect\" added to choose directories· support for SCAPS USC-1 and USC-2 scanner controller cards implemented (via SCI)· support for Scanlab RTC3 and RTC4 scanner controller cards implemented (native)· default value of allowed range in HMI number fields extended to -2100000..2100000· accuracy of min/max value in HMI Property Dialogue corrected· bug fixed: compilation of projects to .APCX files now works without memory error
