The FLProg team announces the release of a new stable version of the program—FLProg 9.7.1. This update marks a significant milestone in the development of the project, which has evolved over the past few years from a visual programming tool into a full-fledged ecosystem of industrial automation solutions.
Over the past two years, the FLProg team has expanded significantly, with new developers, testers, and specialists in electronics and manufacturing joining the project. As a result, a foundation has been formed that includes a software platform, hardware solutions, and in-house manufacturing capabilities.
Today, FLProg integrates visual programming, high-performance libraries, controllers, HMI panels, and drive and process control solutions into a single system. This approach allows users to implement projects faster and scale them without changing tools.
A key feature of version 9.7.1 is its open architecture with support for various processor platforms, including STM32 and RP2040/2350. Thanks to its proprietary architecture and non-blocking libraries, the platform delivers high performance and stability, outperforming many traditional PLC solutions.
In the new version:
— a “Displays” section has been added with support for modern displays (OLED, TFT, DWIN)
— a new code formatter has been implemented
— an online update system has been implemented
— expanded microcontroller support
— improved interfaces and communications
A separate area of development is the hardware line. The company already develops and supplies its own controllers, HMI panels, and solutions for industrial automation. New devices are in development, including controllers with integrated displays and budget series.
The platform also features a new section, “Club,” aimed at building a professional engineering community. Members have access to consultations, equipment, and support for their own projects.
FLProg continues to move toward creating a unified environment integrating industrial automation and the IoT. Plans include the development of SCADA, web tools, wireless technologies, and communication protocols, including MQTT and WebSocket.
The release of version 9.7.1 confirms the project’s strategic focus: creating an accessible, powerful, and scalable platform for engineers, developers, and manufacturers.
