Runtime (execution engine)

The straton Runtime, with its low memory footprint, ensures the execution of developed applications. Compatible with a multitude of platforms regardless of hardware configuration and operating system, it supports various drivers and communication protocols such as Modbus, Profinet, BACnet, CANOpen, IEC61850, and IEC60870. This allows maximum flexibility for manufacturers and end users in programming their equipment, ranging from PLCs to embedded systems. Thanks to its functionalities, the straton Runtime is one of the most powerful, versatile and complete software PLCs - sometimes called virtual PLCs in certain applications - on the market.

Application domains

straton is designed to meet the varied needs of embedded systems, platform manufacturers, and industrial automation systems, as well as public service actors (water, gas, electricity distribution and management). The equipment concerned includes, but is not limited to:

  • PLCs
  • RTUs for energy and public services
  • Embedded systems
  • Production machines
  • Motor or axis controllers
  • Smart human-machine interfaces (dashboards)
