    analyzer that has an analog or digital output.  The
    outputs can include serial interfaces such
    RS232/422/485, OPC, Modbus, etc.

  • Example integration have included YSI analyzer, Alicat
    flowmeters, Sable System analyzers, etc.

  • ILS can also provide custom circuit board design and
    fabrication for solutions the more unique requirements.  
    Examples have included our AFC 100 bioreactor
    controller, AFC MFE for blind pH/DO/PT100 Modbus
    instrument transmission, drivers for valves, motors,
