What is the difference between the Automation functions and the Soft PLC?
The SMP Gateway Automation Functions provide an easy way to directly implement a number of functions specific to the energy field. For instance, functions such as inhibiting a group of points, forcing points, or controlling a group of points, can be set up directly with the SMP Config tool, without any programming. On the other hand, the Soft PLC scripts are more flexible – you can program any required function– but they require programming skills and are not as convenient when a large number of data points must be managed.
