Circuit Boards for Control and Data Acquisition
For certain control and automation applications where an
industrial PLC is not suitable, ILS also designs, develops and
implements microcontroller board applications using the PIC.
PIC, also known as "Programmable Interface Controller or
"Programmable Intelligent Computer" provides the capability
for logic and serial communication control of various
peripherals and devices, such as motors, air cylinders, pump,
valves and more.
Benefits
- ILS can provide affordable OEM applications that meet
your specific requirements.
- ILS can both design and supply the circuit board.
- ILS can provide solutions based upon PIC development
boards such as PIC chip from Microchip (www.microchip.
com).
Example - Serial Valve Drivers
ILS needed to control a 24 volt bench-top, gas sampling valve
from a SCADA software system. Our engineers developed an
affordable, hardware board that can control one or more
valves based upon serial commands. Utilize a direct serial
interface or interface through an OPC server.
Benefits
- Control 24-volt valves or valve multiplexor's based upon
serial commands.
- Connect valves to SCADA software or OPC servers
through the serial interface.
- ILS offers affordable customization of the valve driver to
meet you specific needs and hardware configurations.
- Less complex and more affordable than other hardware
based solutions such as PLC/PAC alternatives.
- Has been applied to Sable Systems Intelligent
Multiplexers V-3 or RM-8 in conjunction with a 24-volt
valve.
Example - Signal Interrupters
ILS engineers designed signal interrupter to stop or block a
signal from reaching a measuring instrument. This can be
applied to prevent a known inaccurate signal from transmitting
from an analyzer and acquired by a control system or data
historian.
instruments.
- Easy and affordable to integrate with existing analyzers
and analog signals
- ILS offers affordable customization of the interrupter to
meet you specific needs and hardware configurations
