Explore all zenon features in the zenon compass.
Talk to different machines via differentiated interfaces, visualize with sophisticated logic and create simulations. You can act fully independently and flexibly, can use many interfaces and can have a fully integrated SCADA logic and soft PLC available at any time with straton, the flexible IEC 61131-3 programming environment.
straton is a soft PLC based completely on IEC 61131-3 which has been fully integrated into zenon. It consists of the workbench as a programming interface, the Runtime, a communication system and many performance enhancing and easy-to-use programming features. straton and zenon use a shared database. For you this means, for example, that you can set up a new variable in straton and it is also immediately created in zenon at the same time.
straton Runtime is platform-independent and connects to many different devices. This means straton can act as a logic analyzer and can support cold, warm or hot restarts as well as step-by-step debugging.
straton processes zenon variables, communicates via many interfaces and supports all current standards such as Profibus, Interbus, Modbus or AS-i Bus.
With binding, any straton target system can be connected to a network – with minimal traffic thanks to straton’s spontaneous data transfer. Maintenance and service staff can get a full insight into the PLC program if they need it, without having to change the code.
straton Workbench supports programming in all five IEC languages: IL, ST, LD, FBD and SFC.

With straton you can profit from a variety of specific communication protocols for the automation infrastructure.
In telecontrol applications straton can Master and Slave with IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104.
straton contains the KEMA certified IEC 61850 driver from COPA-DATA. straton can act as both IEC 61850 server and as client and so take on RTU/Gateway functions as well.
With IEC 61400-25 straton is ready to be implemented in wind park environments.
To communicate between the bay units of a substation straton also supports GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event). As a result, GOOSE can be used regardless of whether straton is running as IEC 61850 server.

You can create ICD and CID files quickly, easily and securely using the straton SCL (Substation Configuration Language) Editor.
As zenon – the independent SCADA system – also supports the above mentioned protocols and can use straton as integrated Soft SPS, you can have the perfect integration with straton and zenon, from field level to control level (SCADA)
straton has already been frequently implemented in substation automation and in other Energy applications worldwide. For details on current references, please contact us at: energy@copadata.com
