TOPDOC®, since 1984, has been recognized as the industry’s most advanced PLC program development and documentation software product. Many “industry firsts” have been attributed to TOPDOC. TOPDOC NexGen provides a contemporary and complete set of tools for SoftPLC based systems, and continues the tradition of providing innovative features for PLC users:
- Program logic & documentation are combined into a single file that is downloaded to the SoftPLC controller - no more hassles to keep both sets of files “in-sync” or trying to troubleshoot a system with no documentation
- XML export/import of application files - allows easy auto-generation or re-use of applications
- Program “Clips” for easy re-use of standard logic sequences
- Native character support for other languages than English
