PLC · HMI · SCADA

Control systems engineers trust — and managers understand.

Sensors and meters tell the PLC what is happening. The PLC decides and acts. HMI and SCADA let people see, control and record it all.

For decision makers

Automated machines run consistently, stop safely and report faults clearly. SCADA turns the plant into one screen with alarms and history — so problems are found early and decisions use real data.

For engineers

Structured PLC programs, clean I/O and tag design, drive integration over industrial networks, and HMI/SCADA screens built around an alarm philosophy — documented for the people who maintain it.

Technical details
Signal types
Digital I/O, analog I/O (e.g. 4–20 mA, 0–10 V), pulse and temperature inputs.
Communication
Serial and Ethernet-based industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP; OPC UA and MQTT for data platforms.
Control functions
Sequencing, interlocks, PID loops, drive control, alarms and recipes.
Supervision
Tag databases, process graphics, alarm and event logs, historical trends and reports.
Documentation
Functional description, I/O lists, drawings, program backups and commissioning records.
Industrial automation solutions
PLC, HMI and SCADA control architecture Sensors and meters send signals to PLC input modules. The PLC CPU runs the control logic and drives actuators and a VFD-controlled motor. An industrial Ethernet network connects the PLC, VFD and energy meter to the HMI and SCADA.

BMS · Building technology

Every building system in one monitoring environment.

A Building Management System connects the equipment that keeps a building running — so facility teams see status, respond to alarms and understand consumption from one place.

  • HVAC — air handling, fan coils, chillers and ventilation
  • Pumps, water tanks, pressure and flow
  • Energy and water meters by floor, tenant or system
  • Temperature, humidity and equipment run / fault status
  • Schedules, set-points, alarms and trends
