The Software category at DAS Company covers the complete stack of industrial automation and electrical engineering software — from SCADA and HMI platforms that visualise and control production processes, through PLC and drive configuration tools that commission and maintain automation hardware, to electrical CAD applications that design, document and standardise control panel engineering. DAS Company is an authorised software partner and reseller for AVEVA (formerly Wonderware), Cofaso electrical design software and the software suites bundled with automation hardware from Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi Electric, Omron, LS Electric and other brands in our distribution portfolio.
Software licences supplied through DAS Company are genuine, manufacturer-authorised licences with full technical support entitlement, update access and compliance with European software distribution regulations — not open-source alternatives, cracked copies or grey-market activations. For engineering teams that have invested in a specific automation platform, purchasing software through an authorised partner ensures continued access to vendor support, firmware updates and the documentation required for CE-marked machine and panel compliance.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software provides the real-time monitoring, alarm management, historian data logging and operator visualisation layer for industrial automation systems — connecting PLCs, RTUs, drives and field instruments into a unified plant overview accessible from control room workstations, tablets and web browsers. DAS Company is an authorised AVEVA implementation partner — supplying and implementing AVEVA InTouch HMI (the world's most widely installed plant HMI, formerly Wonderware InTouch), AVEVA System Platform (scalable SCADA/MES/IIoT platform, formerly ArchestrA), AVEVA Historian (process data historian with OSIsoft PI integration) and AVEVA Edge HMI (formerly InduSoft Web Studio, for OEM machine builder HMI applications). Siemens WinCC Unified and WinCC Professional (SIMATIC HMI SCADA, part of TIA Portal) and Rockwell FactoryTalk View SE are also available as part of the hardware-plus-software package when sourcing SIMATIC or Allen-Bradley automation systems through DAS Company. AVEVA MES (Manufacturing Execution System) bridges SCADA data with ERP/SAP in pharmaceutical, food and discrete manufacturing applications requiring ISA-95 compliant production order execution, OEE tracking and electronic batch records.
PLC programming software is the engineering development environment used to create, debug, commission and maintain PLC, PAC and safety controller applications — using IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages (ladder diagram, structured text, function block diagram, sequential function chart and instruction list). Each major PLC brand uses its own programming environment: Siemens TIA Portal V18 (SIMATIC S7-1200/1500, including SINAMICS Startdrive for drive commissioning); Rockwell Studio 5000 Logix Designer (CompactLogix/ControlLogix, including PowerFlex drive configuration); Mitsubishi GX Works3 (MELSEC iQ-F FX5U and iQ-R, including FR Configurator2 for drive commissioning and GT Designer3 for GOT HMI); Omron Sysmac Studio (NX/NJ EtherCAT controllers, including servo axis motion configuration); LS Electric XG5000 (XBC/XGK PLCs); and CODESYS 3.5 (used by WAGO PFC200, Phoenix Contact PLCnext and multiple third-party platforms). DAS Company provides software licence supply alongside the hardware for all PLC families in our authorised distribution portfolio — enabling engineering teams to order controller, I/O, software and commissioning tools from a single supplier.
Electrical CAD software automates the creation of control panel schematics, cable management documentation and panel assembly data — replacing manual CAD draughting with rule-driven, database-backed engineering that generates accurate documentation from component and connection data. DAS Company is an authorised Cofaso implementation partner — supplying and implementing the Cofaso platform for automated schematic generation (eSchematic), cable management and routing documentation, digital prototype verification and panel engineering standardisation. Cofaso is used by major industrial manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz Türk and Erdemir (Oyak Group flat steel) for standardising panel documentation across complex manufacturing facilities. EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Pro Panel licences are also available through DAS Company for engineering teams already standardised on the EPLAN platform. Both Cofaso and EPLAN address the same core engineering challenge: eliminating the manual schematic draughting, disconnected cable lists and undocumented as-built drawings that drive up panel build time, commissioning errors and maintenance costs across the installed equipment base.
Variable speed drives, servo drives and soft starters require dedicated configuration software for parameter setting, commissioning, diagnostics and firmware update — separate from the PLC programming environment. Most drive brands supply their configuration tool free of charge with the hardware; DAS Company provides the software download links, licence management and commissioning support as part of the drive supply service. Key drive software packages in the DAS portfolio include: Danfoss MyDrive Suite (VLT and Vacon drive configuration and remote monitoring via DrivePro cloud); Mitsubishi FR Configurator2 (SINAMICS G120/FR-A800/FR-E800 parameter setup and auto-tuning); Siemens Startdrive (SINAMICS commissioning within TIA Portal); ABB Drive Composer (ACS580/ACS880 parameter configuration); Rockwell Connected Components Workbench (PowerFlex 525 commissioning); LS Electric DriveView9 (G100/H100/S100 Bluetooth parameter setting via mobile app). HMI-integrated drive parameterisation via ESA Automation Polymath and KREO HMI (with NFC parameter upload to installed drives) is also available as part of the ESA Automation software portfolio supplied by DAS Company.
Industrial automation software is available through several commercial licensing structures, each with different cost implications for projects and ongoing operations. Perpetual licences (one-time purchase, permanent usage rights for the licensed version) remain available for most PLC programming tools and electrical CAD platforms — suitable for engineering teams that prefer capital expenditure over ongoing subscription cost and do not require continuous version updates. Annual subscription licences (recurring annual fee, continuous access to current version) are increasingly the preferred model for SCADA and MES platforms: AVEVA Flex (AVEVA's subscription model for InTouch, System Platform, Historian and Edge) and Cofaso annual software maintenance agreements deliver current-version access and continuous product updates without periodic major upgrade projects. I/O point-based licensing (SCADA licence priced per number of data points connected to the platform) applies to AVEVA InTouch and System Platform — DAS Company's sales team provides licence sizing assistance and I/O point count estimation for project scoping. For engineering teams currently running legacy Wonderware applications (any version from InTouch 7.0 through InTouch 2014), DAS Company provides migration assessment and upgrade path planning to current AVEVA 2023 R2 — taking advantage of AVEVA's guaranteed backward compatibility that protects existing application investment during platform upgrades.
System integrators building SCADA and MES systems for industrial clients source AVEVA InTouch, System Platform and Historian licences through DAS Company — combining software supply with hardware (PLCs, I/O, drives) into a single project order that simplifies procurement and provides a single point of contact for both hardware and software components. Panel builders building CE-marked machine and distribution panels source Cofaso or EPLAN licences alongside the Phoenix Contact, WAGO, ABB and Siemens hardware that populates the panels — integrating schematic generation directly into their panel production workflow. OEM machine builders source AVEVA Edge or ESA Automation Polymath/KREO HMI software as the embedded HMI platform built into their machine — providing operators with touchscreen visualisation and remote access as standard machine features rather than customer-installed options. Industrial operators managing manufacturing facilities, utilities and infrastructure source drive configuration tools and PLC programming software for maintenance and in-house engineering teams — enabling production engineers to modify PLC programmes, update drive parameters and diagnose automation faults without dependence on the original system integrator.
