Free engineering calculators
Practical calculators for the questions that come up early in automation, IoT and industrial software projects: how much data will devices generate, how fast can a serial bus be polled, how long is a PLC scan, how effective is a production line and does an automation investment pay back. Every formula is shown so you can check the assumptions.

Estimates for planning, not final designs
These tools give order-of-magnitude answers quickly so architecture, budget and scope conversations can start from numbers. Each page lists its formula, a worked example and the assumptions it does not cover. Confirm critical figures on real equipment before you commit to a design.
