SoftPLC Web Studio software can be purchased by Catalog Number using the following table. Typical applications require 30-40% more tags than physical field I/O devices. Each runtime includes (1) of each type Thin Client. Development systems are provided with a hard key (dongle), runtimes with a soft key. If a hard key is desired for a runtime, order Catalog Number SPLC-USB-HK-RT.

Additionally, SoftPLC Model SSH-x HMIs provide rugged, panel-mount PC-based operator interfaces with a high resolution touchscreen display, with the SoftPLC Web Studio runtime pre-installed. Units with 3.5" to 17" displays are available.
