Super-Flash is a Development system for making industrial supervision (SCADA) and human-machine interfaces (HMI) applications.
The applications made using
Super-Flash can be limited to monitoring the status of a plant or a machine, or it can go as far as including supervision and control functions, with the aim of "managing" production by means of a PC.
For further information on the software and on the other products in the
Supervisione Libera line, the
Brochure (
lnformative Leaflet) can be downloaded.
Automa proposes two complementary sales formulas for its SCADA HMI package:
Runtime and
Royalty-Free.
|
Development System licence |
Application licence |
Super-Flash Runtime |
at zero cost |
on payment |
Super-Flash Royalty-Free |
on payment |
at zero cost |
With
Super-Flash Runtime, the development system is completely free of charge: you only buy the
Runtime licences whose cost depends on the size, i.e. on the maximum number of variables and alarms. The product can be downloaded directly from this site on the
FreeDownload page and you can start to use it. A
Runtime licence, free of charge, will allow you to launch the application made in order to check its operation, for a maximum time of 15 minutes. Following its development, to be able to install the application at the end customer's premises, it will be necessary to purchase a
Runtime licence represented by a hardware or software key, sized (number of variables and alarms) according to needs.
The
MicroC Runtime compiler is included in the supply. You will therefore have two types of licence available, according to the tools used to create the application:
Super-Flash licence or
Super-Flash +
MicroC licence.
The
Runtime licences are provided with a protection device to be chosen among:
- Software activation Code
- USB key
- Key with 512 Mbyte, 1 Gbyte or 2 Gbyte Pen Drive
With
Super-Flash ROYALTY-FREE you purchase a development system and there are no Royalties on individual applications. This choice foresees purchasing true "producer goods". The investment must be spread over a certain number of applications. Those who choose the
ROYALTY-FREE formula purchase a specific version of the development system. It is possible to subscribe to an annual updating service which allows the customer to ensure they get the new versions issued by Automa. The
Super-Flash ROYALTY-FREE licences also include
MicroC, the C language compiler, which extends the potential of the Development system by 360°, and they are supplied with different costs depending on the size, i.e. on the maximum number of variables and alarms which can be managed.
The licences are provided with a USB protection device which also incorporates a 2 GByte Pen Drive.

New features are:
- Simplification of user interface for archive's objects definition
- More powerful operations on archives
- New automatic functions in graphic editor for modification, in multiple mode too, of objects properties
- Integrated editor for MicroC, file and print pages, alarms and application user guide
- Facilitated access to selection of external system resources

Description |
Super-Flash is a guided environment for making human-machine interface (HMI) and supervision (SCADA) applications. It is fitted with a rich set of communication Drivers, which allow dialogue with the peripherals towards the field (PLC, regulators, CNC, etc.). It also offers the possibility of integrating your own application inside the company information system, thanks to its ability to effectively exchange information with the databases, dealing with all aspects of communication: connection (with the SmartDB product), synchronisation (with the Event Management module integrated in Super-Flash) and data structuring to find the information the customer wants and make it available (for example with WAM, a web application for displaying the historical and real time alarms).
