ACE Suite Online · pay per file

ACE Suite Online — document a PLC, pay per file.

Drop a Studio 5000 .L5X or Unity .ZEF and get architecture, hardware BOM, spare I/O, ladder and a functional description you can hand to a client. Same tools as the plant edition — no licence seat.

  • No more redrawing racks from Module trees in Excel.
  • No more counting DI/DO with a highlighter.
  • No more guessing Active vs Discontinued from last year’s spreadsheet.
  • No more “the FD will follow” three weeks after handover.

Your PLC files stay in your browser. Not stored in the cloud.

No server copy. Your plant IP does not sit on ACE Systems’ site.

The documentation is already in the file

From raw file to complete documentation pack: a look inside the ACE demo controllers — architecture, a lifecycle-colored BOM, I/O lists, ladder logic, and a readable functional description.

PCS Asset Map showing local chassis and Ethernet and ControlNet remotes
Architecture — local chassis, Ethernet and ControlNet remotes, slot by slot. Hide Empty Slots , Remove or Hide Produced and Consumed PLC's so they are not added to the BOM. Not a redraw.
Hardware BOM with lifecycle status dots on each catalog
BOM & lifecycle — catalog, firmware, chassis. Green Active, red Discontinued, from the lifecycle file.
I/O card utilisation with used and spare channels
I/O usage — used vs spare channels from real tag wiring, not comment counts. 60% on this demo.
Ladder rungs showing produced and consumed messaging bits
Ladder — rungs, tag names and produced/consumed comments from the L5X. Print or PDF.
Functional Description listing If And Then steps for the bottle fill sequence
Functional Description — same rungs as readable If / And / Then. Excel or PDF.
Controller messaging map showing produced and consumed links between PLCs
Messaging — produced / consumed links between controllers. Who talks to whom, from the export. Select a PLC and know who is exactly communicating and down to Bit Level and where that Bit is used

How it works

  1. Upload one or more controller exports.
  2. Quote — NZ$19 a file, or a 5 / 20 pack if that is cheaper.
  3. Pay then use the ACE tools on that set for 30 days in this browser.
  4. After 30 days export locks and the local copies in this browser are cleared. We never keep plant files on the server.
