With over 20 years experience in the machinery automation field we have expertise in:
- Hard Wired Relay Logic
- PLC Control Systems
- PLC Programming
- PC Programming
- Variable Speed Drives & Motor Controls
- Machine Vision
- Motion Control
- Process Control
- Plant Floor Data Collection
- Systems Integration
- SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
Whether your application is simple coding of PLC logic, the design and building of
local automation stations, or the design and installation of an integrated quality and
process control system complete with SCADA, we have the desire and ability to work closely
with your team to provide efficient and cost effective solutions.
System Design
We will meet with you to thoroughly discuss your application and work with you in
determining the best approach. As the design progresses, we will continue to
maintain an open dialog with your team to discuss project status, hardware and software
recommendations, cost issues, and performance issues. Our goal is to provide you
with a design that exactly matches your requirements with no suprises. We all know
the path to reach that goal is open communications.
Man Machine Interface
The key to a machine control system is how well your front line personnel understand
how to operate the equipment. The interface between man and machine must be
intuitive and user friendly. The machine operator must be able to implement the
desired command, or adjust the required parameter without a lot of searching through pages
and pages of options. At Applied Machine Control, we pride ourselves at our success
at designing easy to use, quickly accepted interfaces. We know how to reduce the
learning curve, and speed up your machine operators' comfort with the system.
Panel Building
We build custom control panels to your specifications or to our design for your
application. Only quality NEMA and IEC components are included, and are assembled in
the enclosure with excellent workmanship. All terminal strips are labelled and all
wires numbered in a manner that makes them easy to read. CAD generated wiring
diagrams are included in the enclosure and are available on disk as well. Enclosures
are spray painted and then baked for a high quality and durable finish. We make
panels to be proud of.
Programming
Our programming capabilities range from coding your I/O matrix into PLC software,
through PLC logic design, to writing custom PC realtime control systems. We are
experienced in programming PLCs from many manufactureres including Allen-Bradley,
GE-Fanuc, Omron, Texas Instruments, Siemans, and PLCDirect. We have developed PC
control systems in Visual Basic, Turbo C++, and Assembly.
