Why FreeSCADA

Everything you need to monitor your process

A complete web HMI that lives in the cloud — set it up once and reach your plant from anywhere.

🌐

Web-based HMI

Nothing to install to view your plant. Open a browser, log in and your screens are there — desktop or mobile.

🔌

Any Modbus TCP/IP device

Connect to PLCs and devices that speak Modbus TCP/IP. Read holding registers, monitor status.

🎨

Custom screens & assets

Upload your own backgrounds and symbols, then place numeric displays, buttons and animated graphics tied to your tags.

Real-time monitor & control

Values refresh live on screen.

👥

Users, roles & permissions

Invite your team and control who can view, and configure with per-user permission levels.

🏭

Your own workspace

Every account gets a private workspace identified by a unique Client ID that links your devices to your screens.

Getting started

From PLC to browser in four steps

Setup is quick — create an account, connect your PLC with our connector app, then build your screens.

1

Create your account

Sign up in seconds. You receive a unique Client ID for your private workspace.

2

Install the connector

Run the FreeSCADA connector app on a PC or gateway on your network and point it at your PLC.

3

Build your screens

Add tags, upload images and place displays, buttons and animated symbols on your screens.

4

Monitor

Open your browser to see live values.

🖥 Step 2 · The connector app

The bridge between your PLC and the cloud

FreeSCADA talks to your equipment through a small connector application you install on a Windows PC or gateway inside your own network — right next to the PLC. It reads your Modbus device and keeps your cloud workspace up to date.

  • Install the connector on your OT network
  • Enter your Client ID to link it to your workspace
  • Enter your PLC connection details — IP address, port and poll rate
  • Start it once and it keeps your tags flowing both ways

📥 Download the connector from the main menu once you're signed in to your workspace.
