Services

Control engineering, from the terminal to the SCADA

Three blocks of work you can contract separately or as one turnkey project package.

◫

Control cabinet design

Complete panel design for automation systems, focused on both functionality and standards compliance.

  • Electrical schematics and panel layouts in AutoCAD Electrical
  • Component selection and bill of materials: relays, contactors, terminal blocks, power supplies
  • I/O allocation and signal mapping for PLCs and remote I/O
  • Power, control and communication wiring diagrams
  • Labelling and documentation built for maintenance
  • Thermal calculation and enclosure sizing from the actual load
  • IEC, UL and NFPA compliance
  • Safety circuit integration: e-stops, safety relays, interlocks
  • Support during cabinet fabrication and on-site commissioning
▤

PLC, HMI and SCADA integration

End-to-end automation combining PLC programming, HMI design and SCADA development for control, visibility and reliability.

  • PLC: Siemens (TIA Portal, Step7, S5), Allen-Bradley (RSLogix, Studio 5000), GE-Fanuc 90-30, Emerson RX3i, Schneider
  • All seven IEC 61131-3 languages: LD, FBD, ST, IL, STL, SFC and CFC
  • Modular, scalable and reusable code architecture
  • Advanced logic: state machines, PID control, motion and alarm handling
  • HMI/SCADA on WinCC, iFIX, InTouch and FactoryTalk View: trending, alarming and historisation
  • Multi-language interfaces and role-based access control
  • OPC, Historian, InSQL and SQL database integration
  • Simulation, FAT/SAT testing and commissioning support

OT cybersecurity & industrial protocols

In a connected plant, security and communication are the same problem. I secure and optimise the industrial network from the field layer to the control room.

  • Threat detection and network monitoring with Nozomi Guardian
  • Asset inventory and traffic analysis to surface vulnerabilities in real time
  • Zone and conduit segmentation to ISA/IEC 62443
  • Firewall and access control for PLCs, HMIs and SCADA
  • Incident response planning and cyber risk assessment
  • Secure remote access and VPN tunnelling for maintenance
  • Patch management strategy for legacy and modern control systems
  • Diagnostics and troubleshooting for Profibus, Profinet, AS-i, Modbus, ControlNet, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP
  • Protocol gateways and bridging in multi-vendor architectures

How I work

01

Assessment

I capture the real state: architecture, versions, drawings that rarely match the plant, and the operator's actual pain points.

02

Design & proposal

Architecture, bill of materials, scope and acceptance criteria in writing before a single screw is touched.

03

Development & FAT

Modular programming, simulation and testing with the client present. Nothing reaches the plant untested on the bench.

04

Commissioning

On-site start-up, loop fine-tuning and training for the maintenance team.

05

Documentation & support

As-built drawings, labelled backups, an operating manual and an agreed remote support arrangement.
