PC Controls
PC controls (industrial computers) allow the integration of software, hardware, and user interfaces that are not available or practical with PLCs. PC controls allow integration with touch screens, comprehensive control system software, vision systems, motion control systems, discrete and analog I/O, network interfaces, part validation, data logging systems, and many other features. We have utilized PC controls on many of our projects. Most have been on Intel™-architecture computers running DOS™ or Windows™ (including NT™ with a RTX™ real-time kernel). Programming has been done in Assembly™, Basic™, Visual Basic™, C™ (including C++™), as well as high-level operator interface toolkits. One large project used Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC Unix™ workstations running
HP-UX and HP-VUE.
