Embedded Systems

For embedded PC architecture single-board computers and rack-mount systems, we offer solutions based on QNX, Linux and VxWorks.

Firmware for embedded microcontrollers is a large part of what we do. Most recent projects have been for the ARM and AVR chip families but our many years of experience go all the way back to the eight bit days of the 8051 and 6502 and spans the entirety of the sixteen bit CPU era.

And while we do have a preference for certain chipsets and software tools, we're more than happy to write your firmware for whatever chip you have using whatever IDE, compiler and RTOS you prefer.

PLC Systems

For one-off and custom control systems or when there are a large number of I/O points, a PLC-based solution is usually the correct choice.

Recent projects have used the Allen-Bradley Logix family, as well as the Siemens S7-300 and PLCs from GE and Koyo. Our experience dates back to the days of the A-B PLC5 and Modicon 984 and we've been doing PLC systems ever since.

We also have extensive experience with CoDeSys, on both industrial and mobile (heavy equipment not phone) platforms.

Along with PLC programming, we've done a fair amount of PLC based HMI/SCADA work over the years. Most experience has been with Wonderware and RS-View systems but we've used many different HMI solutions from many different vendors.

User Interface

We offer custom Windows applications written in C# .NET using WPF, Windows Forms, or console.

For mobile HMI (phone and tablet, not heavy equipment) we offer customization of our mmOpView HMI product for iOS and Android. mmOpView is compatible with many different PLCs and many different devices on the Internet Of Things.

For many embedded devices (both PC and μC based), the best HMI solution is to use web-based technologies. We've been offering browser-based machine HMI since the early days of the web.
