Our verdict on TRACE MODE
TRACE MODE 7 is an industrial automation suite for building and running SCADA/HMI, soft logic, and manufacturing systems. It is aimed at teams that want operator interfaces and runtime control alongside IEC 61131-3 programming tools in one environment. The suite spans Windows and Linux clients, with web access and Android and iOS operator access. Its scope makes it relevant to small, mid-market, and enterprise teams, though the licensing model calls for matching modules and capacity to the project rather than selecting a conventional subscription tier.
For operations that need both live visibility and historical context, TRACE MODE brings together real-time monitoring and control, alarm and event processing, a built-in process-history database (SIAD), mimic diagrams, and trends. Connectivity includes native drivers and OPC DA, OPC HDA, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT, ODBC, REST API, SMS, email, and Telegram; the vendor also lists IEC 60870-5-104, SNMP, and HART protocol support. Optional communications and integration features add flexibility, but buyers should check which capabilities are included in the selected configuration. Windows and Linux full-featured clients sit alongside browser and mobile access, useful for teams with varied operator access needs.
According to the vendor's description, a free Basic line is available, while the commercial Professional line is licensed by product module and capacity. The published commercial price list uses Russian rubles and lists one-time module license prices; licensing is based on sources, channels, and options rather than tags. That makes capacity planning and module selection central to evaluating paid deployment. TRACE MODE suits teams seeking an integrated SCADA and IEC 61131-3 toolset, especially where its protocol and client mix fits existing operations. Teams looking for a simple, standardized subscription choice may prefer a product with a more straightforward tier structure.
