PLCs we can program
Allen Bradley
We can program the entire Allen Bradley range.
This includes Allen Bradley MicroLogix (RSLogix 500), PLC2, PLC3, PLC5
(5/10, 5/11, 5/15, 5/25, 5/40, 5/60 and all others, using RSLogix 5 or
AB6200 software) , SLC 500 (5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04 and 5/05) series (which
use the RSLogix 500 software) and ControlLogix
(Logix5550, Logix5555 series and later) systems plus FlexLogix and
Compact Logix (all of which use RSLogix 5000). We also support the AB
PLC3 and PLC2 systems.

PLCs from the lower range S7-200 series through the S7-300 series to the
S7-400 top of the range systems. We have considerable experience in the
previous S5 range, from the S5-90U to the S5-155U. This includes many obselete
systems such as the Siemens S5 100, S5 105, S5 110, S5 130, S5 150 etc.

PLC Communications
General
We fault find and develop communication links between all
of the following:
PLC to SCADA
Information from SCADA companies is often poorly detailed
(although it is getting better slowly) and experience in having already
connected PLC systems is always useful
PLC to PLC
We recently linked Opto 22 to Siemens via a custom protocol
unit
PLC to MIS System
Linking the shop floor to (for example) a quality assurance
system via Industrial Ethernet
Communication Summary:
Communications
We have significant communications experience with all
PLC serial and network links linking to SCADA and intelligent peripherals
using point-to-point, multi-drop and network communications links.
 RS232
Serial Links
Also called:
RS423
COM ports (on a PC)
Siemens 3964R (sometimes)
Allen Bradley DF1
Many, many others
RS232 type serial links link one PLC (or computer)
to one other PLC (or other computer). PLCs always have custom protocols
(often proprietary so the full details are not published). We specialise
in linking PLCs and SCADA systems with unusual or unknown serial links.
RS485 Serial Links
Also called:
Allen Bradley DF1 (on SLC 485)
Allen Bradley SLC Programming
Siemens MPI and Siemens PPI
Siemens Profibus DP
Occasionally called "networks" these are again software-wise
similar to 20mA in that they have master (normally one) and slave
links. Some systems (such as Allen Bradley SLC 5/03 (and below) PLCs)
have extended RS485 which can cope with multiple master PLCs which
then work in a token ring principle.
20mA Serial Links
Also called:
Siemens AS511
Siemens 3964R (sometimes)
Generally just Siemens use these nowadays. In software
terms it's the same as RS232 except that you can have multidrop links
(ie one master, many slaves). They are not as reliable as RS485, since
one faulty link (or powered down PLC) in the chain can stop a large
amount (sometimes all) of the network from working.
Other networks
We also use the following:
Siemens MPI, Siemens PPI (both of which are variations
on RS485)
Profibus L2, Profibus DP, Profibus FMS Networks,
ASI, ASI safe
Siemens Ethernet and H1 Networks (both programming
and SCADA)
Siemens L1 Networks
Siemens AS511, 3964 and 3964R
Allen Bradley/Rockwell Networks
Data Highway Plus (DH+ for PLC5 and SLC 5/04, both
programming and SCADA)
Remote I/O (RIO) (typically I/O links for PLC3 and
PLC5 systems)
Rockwell 485 (SLC) Connections (SLC 5/01. 5/02
and 5/03)
Data Highway (PLC3)
ControlNet (typically used for control or I/O links
for ControlLogix, FlexLogix or CompactLogix systems)
DeviceNet (a Fieldbus system, often
used on SLC and PLC5 systems)
In-house factory testing
Motion Process
Control
Siemens
We have used the Siemens FM modules plus the Sinumerik
system extensively, click here for further details
CNC
Many other CNC systems are available, most of which are unique.
We have experience in several systems and will help to diagnose your problems
Other Programming
General
We also write custom software in the following languages
C++
Vision systems and CNC editing programs
Visual BASIC
in Visual BASIC, we recently wrote a
analogue to digital conversion program which included trending and data
logging
Delphi
Recently used for linking the shop floor to a quality assurance
system in Dublin
Turbo Pascal
Simple, quick DOS applications
