(COTS) products as building blocks,
we partner with you to build a
specialized response to your needs,
whether they are large or small.
Trainyard
Tech's
integration
strategy is
based on the
standard
industrial
automation
practice of
Client -
Server
architecture
using an open
systems
environment.
Field I/O is
processed
through an
Ethernet
interface to a
redundant I/O
server
configuration.
Modularity,
redundancy and
distribution is
maintained yet
flexible through
your choice of
products and
devices.
Operator
workstations are
linked to the I/O
server via TCP/IP
connection(s)
utilizing the OPC
(OLE, Object
Linking and
Embedding for
Process Control)
interface software.
HMI COTS tools
offer flexible
operator interfaces
easily customized for
specific needs.
Communication and data
exchange is managed by
a standard COTS
package configured as
the Communications
Server and the SQL
Server. Utilization of
these tools affords
greater flexibility, quick
development time and
wider functionality than
conventional propriety
software solutions.
