ControlForge (GoPLC Redux)
A fresh look at the runtime under its current name — what GOPLC became, and what it is for.
Read moreDemos and walkthroughs of the runtime — the browser IDE, statement-level debugging, clustering, Node-RED, and AI-assisted Structured Text.
Some videos were recorded while the product was still called GOPLC. The on-screen branding differs; the runtime is the same one.
