Projects we have Worked on

The Vinyl Factory

Project Outline: Build a control system and electrical panel for a new vinyl manufacturing press, for The Vinyl Factory

Each vinyl press uses one of our FMT-200D controllers allowing it to run in the correct sequence. A touch screen running custom software is used for controlling the operation and maintence of the machine. Each panel is fitted with a 32 way Relay Board for controlling all of the outputs on the machine, electrical cutoff timers to ensure certain high current outputs don't stay on too long and safety cutoff relays to cut power to the machine if any of the guard rails are opened.

Please contact us if you have a similar project you would like us to work on

Corby Power Station

Projects Outline: To design and supply a barrier entry & exit system that counts and displays the number of people in a vehicle, allowing them to automatically enter and leave.

Each gate is fitted with a Tagmaster reader to read all of the tags that are present in the vehicle. These tag numbers are then transmitted to one of our FMT-100B units which counts the number of people in the vehicle and displays this on a 7 Segment Display.

The tag numbers of the people in the car are then transmitted via Wiegand to the BMS system, where the tag numbers are matched against a database to give or deny entry.

Inviron Ltd

Projects Outline: To design, supply all components, build, test, commission and write application software for 2 off Interface panels based on Colter Products BIS100 controller.

Each panel is to access data from 2 off 4 Greenspan PS2100 sensors (sunk up to 60 metres underground in boreholes) via RS485 over a distance of up to 120 metres. The BIS100 application software via MODBUS RTU will in turn map the data over RS485 to the BMS system. Each panel will be fitted with a Colter Products FMT-DS data Splitter connected via current loop between panels allowing communication to both BIS100 for data collection. Panels have to be IP67 and operate from a single-phase 220-240Vac supply, Colter Products PS24/4.5.
