AeroSpec - PC and PLC Control Systems
Control systems monitor input from various sensors, collect data, and send to output and field devices, giving operators and technicians crucial information about process and machine status. AeroSpec offers both PC-based and PLC-based automation equipment from a variety of vendors, languages and integration platforms. We are able to integrate all major PLC vendors including units from Rockwell Automation, Siemens, IDEC and Beckoff. For PC-based solutions Microsoft Visual Basic-based software running on industrial class PCs is available. Behind our PC and PLC-based hardware infrastructure is a rigorously tested software development system ensuring your piece of equipment is sufficiently tested, verified and validated prior to run-off and/or delivery. Whether semi-automating an existing task, adding robotics or fully automating a new process, our integrated solutions can provide great return on investment and value.
Control System requirements for Lean and Stand-Alone Cellular Automation typically specify units that are small, easily configurable, modular and low cost. The software is easy to learn and implement and often included with the price of the controller.
AeroSpec recommends PLC based control systems for the majority of Automation and Process Control applications. These systems offer 20+ years Life Cycle, are industrially hardened and extremely stable. They are easily maintained and provide easy integration for field devices commonly used in automated processes such as:
- Rockwell Automation Micro800 Family/Connected Components Workbench™
- Siemens (S7)
- IDEC Microsmart PLC/Automation Organizer
- Beckoff
We provide Human-Machine-Interfaces (HMI) for nearly all Automation Systems and Equipment. Typically, the HMI screens are configured so as to provide the following information vital to the user including throughput, cycle time, error or reject rate as well as help information and alarms.
PC-based systems are typically lower cost for the initial hardware, but more expensive from a software perspective as development takes more time and has more caveats. Whatever your solution, AeroSpec will recommend the best controller for the process and provide you with something that is turn-key and adding value to the overall project.
