PLC programming

Our core business

PLC programming is central to RS Automation’s work. Our published experience includes Rockwell ControlLogix and RSLogix, with applications in recycling, manufacturing, water treatment, mining, warehousing and conveyor systems.

Control built around your process

A useful starting point is the operating sequence: what the machine must do, what allows it to run and what happens when a condition changes. We work through that process with your team before discussing the control solution.

• Conveyor sequence control and coordinated plant operation
• Food, beverage and packaging line applications
• Warehousing, inventory tracking and multilane sortation
• Barcode scanning and database-connected processes
• Servo and motion control applications
• Staff training and operator understanding

Working with an existing system

For an upgrade, the starting point is what is already installed. Controller models, software versions, available backups and the surrounding equipment influence how the work should be approached. A clear picture of the current installation helps define the change.

• Existing controller and network information
• Current programs, drawings and equipment lists
• The behaviour you want to change
• Production windows and commissioning arrangements

Start with a focused brief

Tell us which machine or process you are working on, what the present system does and what you need it to do differently. If you have a functional description, program backup or equipment list, let us know what is available.
