PLC software and motion control

The technological core

We work on all the main PLC platforms, both PC-based and traditional. Our deepest experience is on PC-based architectures, where PLC, multi-axis motion control, safety and communication run on a single controller. The software is tested on a simulator before it is downloaded to the hardware, so debugging does not move to the field.

The choice of platform follows the project and the standards already in use on site: a modular approach built around portability ensures the same software quality on any technology and full integration into the installed base.

Machines with electric drives

In discrete-cycle machines, throughput and quality depend on how the axes move. We size motors, drives and gearboxes from the real load profile (torques, inertias, gear ratios, thermal verification) and define motion profiles optimised for cycle time or for mechanical stress.

• Synchronised axes: electronic cams and gearing, real or virtual master, conveyor tracking and on-the-fly pick-up
• Torque and force control where the process calls for it
• Tuning of position, velocity and current loops
• Motion diagnostics: following error, saturation, residual vibration

HVAC and climate control

We automate climate control systems both for the comfort of the spaces and for production processes: air handling units, chillers, heat pumps and hydronic circuits, with seasonal sequences, free-cooling and energy-saving logic.

Whether it is the comfort of working spaces or environmental conditions that are part of the process specification (cleanrooms, temperature-sensitive processes, laboratories), HVAC is designed with the same rigour as machine control: tuned loops, meaningful alarms, continuously recorded data and, where needed, pressure cascades and traceability for validation.
