CAPP Framework — One Structure,
Endless Scalability
Structure. Ownership. Continuity. — A complete, ready-to-use automation framework that lets your team deliver projects of any size, faster, cleaner, and far more predictable.
What You Get with CAPP
Complete FrameworkPLC Control Modules
Pre-built, tested PLC function blocks for motors, drives, valves, and common automation sequences. Drop them into any project and configure — no rewriting from scratch.
🔧 Ready to deploy on day oneStandard HMI & SCADA Screen Layouts
A full library of consistent, professionally designed HMI and SCADA screens — motor faceplates, overview displays, trend views, and navigation templates — built to an agreed visual standard.
🎨 Consistent look across every sitePre-Engineered Alarm Configurations
Alarm strategies designed to industry best practices. Priority levels, suppression logic, and shelving procedures are baked in — reducing alarm floods and operator fatigue from day one.
⚠️ Best-practice alarm management built inAdvanced Faceplates
Complex, reusable faceplate components for drives, PID loops, interlocks, and more. Each faceplate exposes exactly what operators need — nothing more, nothing less.
📊 Operator-focused designConsistent Tag Structures
A unified tag naming convention applied across every PLC, HMI, and historian. Engineers, operators, and maintenance teams always know exactly where to find what they need.
🔍 Zero ambiguity in tag lookupUnified Text Lists
Standardised text lists for status messages, fault descriptions, and operator prompts — consistent language across screens, alarms, and reports. No more mismatched labels or one-off translations.
🌐 One language, every screenClear Documentation & Videos on the Cloud
Every module, faceplate, and standard is backed by written documentation and walkthrough videos — hosted on the CEDAS cloud. Your team can learn, reference, and onboard without waiting for a specialist.
Explore the Automation Library
Click a ModuleEvery category below is a live, versioned library already hosted on the CEDAS cloud. Click a block to see why it exists, how it plugs into your project, and jump straight to its docs.
Why it matters — A documented, versioned set of standards and modules ready to drop into your project.
- Open the library
- Review the included standards
- Reference them while building your project
Why it matters — The base structure every project inherits — naming, module layout, and standards in one place.
- Clone the CAPP folder structure into your new project
- Rename tags using the CAPP naming convention
- Wire in the pre-built PLC blocks for your I/O
Why it matters — Ready-made function blocks and HMI faceplates for Siemens PLCs and drives (S7 / TIA Portal / Sinamics-class VFDs).
- Import the Siemens function block library into TIA Portal
- Match tag names to the shared CAPP naming standard
- Bind the faceplate to your drive's data block
Why it matters — Studio 5000 / FactoryTalk equivalents of the same modules — a Rockwell site follows the exact same CAPP structure as a Siemens one.
- Import the AOI library into Studio 5000
- Apply the shared tag and alarm standard
- Reuse the same FactoryTalk View faceplate set
Why it matters — Complete worked examples — full panels and screens built end-to-end, so you see the modules working together, not just in isolation.
- Open the reference build closest to your project
- Compare its structure against your own
- Copy the pattern instead of starting from a blank screen
Why Teams Choose CAPP
Framework AdvantagesDramatically Faster Delivery
Stop reinventing the wheel on every project. CAPP's pre-built modules mean your engineers spend time on value-added engineering — not boilerplate.
Enforced Consistency
Every project looks and behaves the same way. Operators move between sites without relearning. Maintenance teams diagnose faults faster. Audits become straightforward.
Junior Engineers Hit the Ground Running
Clear structure and cloud documentation mean a junior engineer can contribute meaningfully from week one — no months of shadowing before they're productive.
Scales with Your Business
Whether it's a single machine or a multi-site rollout, CAPP handles it. The same framework that works on project one still works perfectly on project one hundred.
