OpenAPC is an APC (Advanced Process Control) solution that is highly flexible and configurable and covers a wide range of automation, visualization, and process control tasks from home control up to industrial automation. Control applications created with the OpenAPC editor's visual interface can perform several tasks dependent on how the application is configured and used. The application is available for many different platforms, so OpenAPC projects can be switched over to a different platform easily.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This version offers several new functions like a flow indicator HMI plug-in and support for the Scanlab RTC5 scanner controller card and Ether Dream low cost scanner card. BeamConstruct now offers a new editing mode with four different views at the same time (top, front, right, and 3D view) for easier editing of 3D laser engraving projects.


Release Notes: This is a service release. It fixes several bugs and contains code clean-ups, but does not provide any new functionality.


Release Notes: This version fixes a serious BeamConstruct bug that caused a crash when adding hatch pattens to sliced 3D models.


Release Notes: This version contains several bugfixes and corrections as well as a new MODBUS TCP slave plug-in. The most extensive enhancement can be found in the BeamConstruct laser marking application; it now is able to import 3D models and slice them into several layers. These layers can then be used for rapid prototyping or depth engraving applications to build up these 3D models.


Release Notes: The whole HMI/process control part is now assembled into a software group named "ControlRoom". A new application BeamConstruct has been added which is intended to be used for industrial laser marking applications. This software supports several primitive geometries, barcodes, texts, serial numbers, date/time elements, 2D and 3D marking, additional motion axes, splitting of large projects into smaller parts, and much more.

Cool software! My first look made me a bit helpless but as deeper I dig into it I find more and more functionality and possibilities. Looks like it is a good tool for my (private) home automation project

If it is completed then this will be a superb project and one which I will, for the first time, actively contribute to.
