PLC, SCADA, DCS solution – The differentiating features
We specialize in high performance process control solutions that are based upontruly open standards. Using these micro-PLC modular, scalable controllers andI/O blocks with easy to use configuration tools, gives customers the benefits of aturnkey automation system without the big price tag.
Some of the benefits of Ethernet based micro-PLCs in automation are:o Scalable Systems that will grow with your requirements (up to 50,000 I/O)o Truly open standards gives you freedom to choose suppliers and productso Process Quality I/O - Precision I/O that hot swaps and is isolated for longterm reliabilityo Outstanding Environmental Ratings - Operation range of -40 to +75°C,
certified for offshore & Zone 2 useo Reliability Through Redundancy - Redundant processors, networks and I/Ochannels

o Twenty Year OEM’s Product Support Promise - Open systems and planned
technology pay off for you in the long runo Best Value Solutions - Big system performance for the price of just thecomponents
The Architecture
The micro-PLCs, the heart of all Ethernet-based process control or for thatmatter, any automation solution is the ultimate process controller with the powerof open LINUX software. Its powerful communications and advanced
programming capabilities make it the perfect solution for your process control,SCADA, or DCS-level application. Though it is built on the open LINUX operating
system, no knowledge of LINUX is required in most applications. Get all thebenefits of open LINUX with no extra effort. Typical architecture is shown below

Machine or Engine Monitoring Automation FeaturesAccurate, reliable temperature measurementso The instrumentation modules provide multiple channels of 16 bit, rocksolid temperature measurements with electrical isolation and a full rangeof thermocouple options.
Performance data trendingo Datalogging is a standard feature in process controllers and RTUs. Trend
performance data and use it to improve efficiency and avoid problems.
Alarm "cause and result" logging
o An unique feature is data “capture” before and after an alarm. This realadvantage distinguishes our systems.
Engine/machine-oriented I/O modules
o The combination I/O module was designed for engine applications withdiscrete, analog and even high- speed counter channels.
It's compact and cost effective.
Other Automation Applications
Greenhouses
In greenhouses, the logic controller centralises the management of theautomatic watering system. The programming options offered, both
optimizes the water consumption and provides direct control over opening
the solenoid valves under 24 VDC.

Compressor management for cold storage chambers
The larger cold storage chambers are equipped with several compressors.
These compressor sets need to be managed on several counts:
Progressive start-up, to prevent drawing too much current.
Using a different compressor each time for start-up to avoid excessive wear on
any one.
Controlling the number of compressors in operation at any one time in relation
to the demand for cooling.

Managing heating in the home
These controllers are an excellent replacement for other domestic controllers toprovide "comfort" temperature when the occupants are present.

Managing geothermal heating
The principle of geothermal heating consists in collecting the energy containedin the ground (Heat Pump) to use it for heating (floor-heating or radiators) oreven for cooling. This method saves 75% in terms of energy in relation to otherheating systems, hence the success of the companies specializing in this field.
The component elements are similar to those in a refrigerator: a coolant, apressure reducer, an evaporator, a compressor.

Processing the air in air conditioning
The concept is a cooling tower chilling a water circuit. It is used in air
conditioning systems or to cool medium- or large-scale climatic installations inindustrial processes, industrial premises and large tertiary activities.

Temperature control in lifts
Relays temperature control relays monitor the ambient temperature of service
rooms or lift pulley rooms, to check that it remains within the statutory limits(between 4°C and 40°C) in accordance with standard EN 81.

HVAC
Heating, cooling, air conditioning or extraction. Relay control relays stop themotor to protect the unit in the event of phase, current or supply voltage faults..

Pump and level control
Agricultural applications, watering, irrigation, drying, pressure surge, lift pumps
and fire pumps, distribution and treatment of water, etc... Relay control relays
are used to manage and protect equipment by current measurement and phase
monitoring. These relay control relays can also be used to control emptying andfilling levels.
