A plant-synoptic language allows for creating highly customized operator interfaces. Almost every control component can be controlled either manually or automatically.

Up to 9 operator password levels can be configured to manage access privileges.

Historical data, e.g. logfiles, batch protocols and process parameter trends are also created and managed by the system. These data may be viewed, manipulated, and printed with the X-History application.
Export functionality allows further treatment with other graphical tools, spreadsheet or database applications.

For companies or individuals requiring validation by the FDA and/or other governmental control instances, PMCS optionally contains the ERES (Electronic Records, Electronic Signature functionality defined in the US Code of Federal Regulations Chapter 21 Part 11 (21CFR11).

Develop batch procedures and recipes PMCS with the graphical PMCS Recipe Editor. The tested and released procedures can then be scheduled with the associated Recipe Scheduler. To monitor and control batch recipe processing PMCS provides a graphical Recipe Viewer.

And last but certainly not least, PMCS is scalable from lab-size research facilities with few control modules up to highly complex production plants spanning several process units with thousands of controlled components.
