Configure the control system instead of coding it
Re-building bespoke control software for every tool you sell means long commissioning — and customers tied to you for every later tweak. → Design the whole machine visually, bootstrap from the customer’s own PLC, commission on the Emulator before the hardware exists, and hand over a config they own.
APS System Builder — lay out the live schematic, hardware, screens, safety and recipes, then emit a runtime-ready configuration. No XML by hand, no code.

What you get
- ▶ Configure, don’t code — design the whole machine (18 component types, 8 device sections, safety, screens, recipes) visually and emit runtime-ready XML.
- ▶ Start from the customer’s PLC — the New-from-PLC wizard imports S7-200 programs and MCGSPro HMI projects to bootstrap a project in minutes — migrate MCGS without a rebuild.
- ▶ Commission before the hardware exists — bring up and test the full config on the Emulator, then deploy the identical config to the real tool.
- ▶ No lock-in for your customer — they keep the plain-XML config and can adjust it themselves; a selling point, not a liability.
- ▶ One platform across your product line — single-chamber tool to multi-PLC cluster, same toolchain.
What it means for you
Ship tools in days, not months — differentiate on your hardware while APS carries the control stack.
- Migrate existing MCGS projects without rebuilding from scratch.
- Backed by a 497-test build for confidence at hand-off.
- Fewer support calls — customers own and adjust their own config.
