Expertise Across Major PLC Manufacturers

Our team has in-depth experience working with leading PLC platforms, including:

  • Allen Bradley (Rockwell)
  • Siemens
  • Mitsubishi
  • Omron
  • Red Lion

We understand that each project is unique, and our engineers have the versatility to adapt to different systems while delivering consistent results. By combining our industry knowledge with cutting-edge software, we provide practical and customised solutions for a diverse range of applications.

Efficient Programming with Proven Libraries

Over the years, we’ve developed and refined comprehensive libraries for most major PLCs. These tried-and-tested libraries allow us to:

  • Reduce Programming Time: Pre-developed modules speed up the programming phase, reducing project timelines.
  • Enhance Testing & Commissioning: Our libraries are thoroughly validated, allowing for more efficient testing and smoother commissioning processes.
  • Improve Software Reliability: Using proven code reduces bugs, minimises downtime, and increases the overall stability of the systems we deliver.

This streamlined approach enables us to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality or reliability.Operation panel with screen and buttons

Mastering Complex Communication Links

We are highly skilled in setting up and troubleshooting complex communication links, ensuring seamless integration between systems:

  • PLC to PLC Communication: Creating reliable networks for real-time data exchange between controllers.
  • PLC to SCADA/HMI: Facilitating intuitive user interfaces for monitoring and controlling operations.
  • PLC to DCS: Integrating distributed control systems for larger, more complex operations.

Our deep understanding of communication protocols—such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, Profinet, and others—ensures that data flows smoothly between components, enabling centralised control and real-time monitoring.

By combining our industry knowledge with cutting-edge software, we provide practical and customised solutions for a diverse range of applications.

Minimising Communication Challenges

Communication issues can often lead to significant project delays. However, our extensive experience in communication fault finding allows us to quickly diagnose and resolve problems, keeping your project on track and minimising downtime. Our engineers are skilled at navigating the challenges that often accompany complex communication setups, ensuring that systems are fully operational as quickly as possible.
