Fully Integrate Your HMI and PC-Based Control With MachineShop
CTC Parker Automation's MachineShop is an integrated suite of Windows-based software for developing Interact HMI applications.
MachineShop's convenient toolbar (shown above) includes a Project Manager, Environment Navigation, and a PowerStation Transfer area. When you buy Interact, these tools make it easy to manage, create, integrate and transfer your machine applications.
MachineShop runs on a standard PC, as well as CTC's full line of PowerStation's, integrating all of these products into a bundled solution that can fit the requirements of any machine.
Project Management
MachineShop's Project Management is a simple, intuitive way to configure and manage automation projects. It conveniently collects configuration data and runtime files into a central location.
The Project Management allows the user to...
- Backup and restore data from storage devices such as disks, hard drives and networks.
- Document all project information
- Access data on runtime storage requirements and components used for the application
- Easily perform project tasks with the guidance of "Wizards"
PowerStation Transfer

PowerStation Transfer can...
- Automatically transfer run time projects.
- Back up and restore runtime projects
- Transfer projects via the Internet
- Transfer with a serial connection or direct to Compact FLASH
- Help users select transfer options, using Wizard-based guidance.
