Technologies we work with
These systems are available for all of the control panels we build
Traditional
Single/three phase motor control
Level control eg. float switches, ultrasonic
Direct on line, star/delta start, soft start, or inverter-driven
ATEX rated components where required
Parts stocked for panels with up to 200A capacity
We work with all low voltages (<1000V) both AC and DC, and analogue and digital signals
Can be supplied built into kiosks
PLC-based
PLC specification and programming
We work with all major PLC brands
PLCs usually used for more complex systems, or when information is extracted for use elsewhere
Expansion modules mean that one PLC can handle dozens of inputs and outputs
Provides a straightforward way of accessing data across the LAN, or the WAN with the addition of a gateway
Contact us for advice on which PLC solution is best for you
Smart
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi and GSM
Access your control panel from anywhere in the world
Receive information, send commands, even re-program devices remotely
Our own software and server structure, so we can customise it completely to your needs
Create dashboards for your sites/systems
Make remote access of industrial controls as simple as consumer products
Energy-saving
Variable speed drives integrated into panels and pre-programmed
We can advise on how to configure systems for lower energy usage
Use with monitoring systems for a 360-view of energy usage
Energy-saving controls should be built in to wider plan - running variable speed drives at full speed doesn't reduce energy usage!
Remote
Our own custom-built server structure and dashboard platform
Choose from text/email alerts through to full dashboard
Interrogate data to assist in making real-time decisions
Gain insights into your electrical equipment behaviour and usage
Instant notification of faults
All completely customisable to your application
Coding
In-house programmers to configure systems to your needs
End-to-end design and fulfilment including hardware and software
We work with all common programming languages, such as C, C++, C#, Python, Java, SQL
Collaboration with university programs to provide cutting edge technology to our clients
Integration
Factory-configured control panels provided ready to connect to your existing systems
Integrate with any building management system, from volt-free contacts through to MODBUS, PROFIBUS, etc.
In-house technical support able to provide telephone advice to site teams for any queries
Important to establish any integration required at the design stage, so that the panel can be optimised for the integration protocol required
Bespoke
All panels supplied with a wiring diagram produced in-house
Our own laser engraver for custom labels on the panel
Design and build all in-house for complete control of the process
Speak to one of our controls experts to turn your idea to reality
No previous controls experience required to design your panel with us
Provide added value to your clients by having a control panel that's unique to you
Touchscreens
Design and programming of touchscreens
Take your control panel to the next level by adding a 7" full colour touchscreen
Touchscreens available with built-in PLCs for a cost-effective panel with lots of capabilities
Include your logo on the touchscreen to maximise the branding potential on your system
Build in your added value features, such as help pages or how-to guides
