One subscription for every platform, with no extra license per machine.
How It Works
From visual design to validated logic in three simple steps
Design
Build your sequence diagram in the graphical editor, with smart completion for conditions and actions
Transcribe
Every sequence is transcribed into clean Python that humans, developers, and AI can read.
Simulate
Test your automation logic in real-time simulation without a physical PLC
Everything an automation project needs, in one editor
From the first sketch to validated logic, version history and handover documentation: here is what AutomationView lets you do.
Your whole automation workflow in a single, modern editor
Design sequences visually, not in raw code
Draw steps, transitions and actions on a clean canvas built on SFC (IEC 61131-3) and GRAFCET (NF EN 60848). Smart auto-layout keeps every diagram tidy as you build.
- Add steps, transitions and actions from a floating toolbar
- Auto-layout aligns your diagram automatically, no manual dragging
- Type-aware completion knows every variable, timer and step
Validate your logic before touching hardware
Run your sequence step by step right in the editor. Watch transitions turn true, steps activate and timers count down live, and catch sequencing errors early.
- Step-by-step execution with live step and transition states
- Built-in timers animate with progress bars as they run
- No PLC required, test the moment you finish drawing
Turn your design into vendor PLC code
Generate ready-to-deploy code from your visual sequence automatically. Export to CODESYS V3 Structured Text and other formats without manual recoding.
- One-click CODESYS V3 Structured Text generation
- IEC 61131-3 transition logic written for you
- Your design and exported code stay in sync
See exactly what changed, on the diagram
Commit, branch and roll back your sequence and machine files with native Git, then review changes visually, highlighted directly on the GRAFCET diagram.
- Built-in Git for sequence, machine and generated code
- Visual diff highlights added steps, timers and transitions
- Full project history with confident rollback
Standardize once, reuse on every machine
Save your best sequences and actuator objects as reusable templates, then drop them into any project so every machine follows the same proven standard.
- Reusable actuator and sequence template library
- Enforce your team's engineering standards everywhere
- Structured project hub for metadata and instances
Generate handover documents in one click
Turn any sequence into clean, A4-ready PDF or PNG documentation for handover, audits and machine binders, generated straight from your live diagram.
- A4 portrait or landscape, ready to print
- One-click PDF and PNG export
- Always reflects your latest logic, no redrawing
Core capabilities
One workspace for visual design, simulation, version control and Python transcription of your sequences.
Project Management
Organize and manage your automation projects with a structured workspace. Track progress, manage files, and keep your team aligned.
Fast Development
A fast, intuitive editor with smart completion that suggests conditions and actions from your variables. Sequences become Python, so developers and AI can generate and edit automation logic programmatically.
Team Collaboration
Work together through built-in Git: branches, change tracking, and full version history keep your whole team in sync.
Real-Time Emulation
Test your logic instantly with scan-cycle emulation. Validate your programs in real-time without a physical PLC.
Intuitive Interface
A focused workspace with keyboard-driven sequence editing and none of the vendor-tool clutter.
AI Integration
Run Claude Code or any terminal-based AI assistant inside the editor to generate and refactor sequence logic.
On the Roadmap
AutomationView evolves with your needs. Here is what is coming next.
Multi-Platform Compatibility
Growing compatibility with the formats used by Siemens, Schneider, Rockwell, CODESYS, and more.
Language Conversion
Convert your sequences to Ladder, Structured Text, and FBD languages with a single click.
Real PLC Connection
Connect directly to physical PLCs for live monitoring, testing, and deployment of your automation programs.
OCR Handwritten Sequences
Write your GRAFCET or SFC on paper, scan it, and let AutomationView convert it to a digital sequence automatically.
