STRATON® is a flexible IEC-61131-3-based soft PLC and data processing environment for embedded platforms, developed and maintained by STRATON® AUTOMATION. straton is composed of a development tool kit, an integrated development environment, and a runtime. The development tool kit offers custom integration of the straton Runtime onto any hardware platform, regardless of the hardware configuration and operating system. Applications are realized in an IEC 61131-3 compliant environment. In addition, tools are available for fieldbus configuration, automated project engineering and online diagnosis. straton Runtime carries out deterministic processing of the IEC 61131-3 application. straton also includes a range of communication stacks such as Modbus, Profinet, BACnet, CANopen, Powerlink, IEC 61850 and IEC 60870. Mainly dedicated to OEMs, hardware and software manufacturers, straton is available both as a full package and as individual software components.
STRATON® includes a multitude of tools to facilitate the development of your projects such as
- The Library Manager
- The Validation Tool to launch automatic test procedures for your Runtime
- IEC 61850 Client
- IEC 61850 SCL Editor
- Graphical display (Soft-scope and online debugging)
- IDE Monitoring (online diagnostics for easy debugging)
- Project comparison (Diff Tool)
- A graphical interface (Graphical Viewer)
- Import, export, modification and conversion of projects

STRATON® AUTOMATION offers an efficient solution for all platform manufacturers who want to integrate PLC function and/or communication protocols in their electronic equipment. The straton software is suitable for any type of hardware and is compatible for environments with or without operating system.
straton: an automation software dedicated to OEMs
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are one of the main actors of the industrial automation market. They are mainly active in the aerospace, automotive, electronics and IT markets. Their main role is to create complete equipment or sub-assemblies for the industry.
Investing in flexible and open solutions that follow the evolution of the industry is nowadays essential to remain competitive and flexible.
straton: a software adapted to the market requirements
Openness is one of the main assets of straton. Being completely hardware independent, it is possible to integrate one or more additional modules at any time.

straton: a software dedicated to the energy and utilities market
Automation systems must provide more and more information to the control room and other management systems. In order to provide access between systems and components, a number of standards have been developed: DNP3, IEC 60870-101, IEC 60870-104, IEC 61850 and IEC 61400.
straton is compatible with these standards to allow you to integrate quickly with a proven and certified solution. Our protocols also include support for the latest cyber security developments (IEC 62443 and IEC 62351).
STRATON AUTOMATION provides not only the IEC 61850 protocol stack, but also the configuration and debugging tools that enable RTU manufacturers to quickly develop a new generation of products:
- IEC 61850 Client Test Tool
- IEC 61850-7-410/420 and IEC 61400 Logic Nodes
- IEC 61850-6 SCL editor
- IEC 61850 Client and server
