| Trainyard Tech creates solutions for the unique needs of the railroad industry. Integrating the latest automation technology, already proven in many other industry applications, we configure existing and new devices into a totally flexible and open Process Control system. Utilizing Commercial Off the Shelf (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. |
