PLC Control Systems

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are well suited to perform automated control tasks for electrical network reconfiguration within a critical power facility.

The use of hot standby, modular PLCs with networked input/output modules and integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) displays is now widespread throughout the industry. This extensive use of Programme Logic Controllers is due to their reliability, resilience and flexibility.

Mardix's Monitoring engineers are fully trained and experienced in the design, programming and implementation of critical power PLC control systems. Our considerable knowledge of critical power systems has been crucial to the successful design of the control philosophy behind such systems.
