PLC programming
Bespoke control logic, equipment sequencing and integration of machinery and process systems.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION · RHD SCOTLAND
Industrial automation.
Engineered around the application.
Bespoke PLC control, operator interfaces and instrumentation for specialist machinery, hydraulic test equipment and industrial processes.
WHAT WE DO
Bespoke controls.
Practical engineering.
No two specialist machines or industrial processes are exactly alike. The control system needs to reflect the equipment, its operating requirements and the information needed by the people using it.
RHD Scotland brings together electrical engineering, PLC programming, instrumentation and HMI development to deliver control and monitoring systems tailored to the application.
From individual machine controls to more involved automation projects, our focus is on producing systems that are practical to operate, monitor and maintain.
01 / TEST BAY AUTOMATION
Control systems for specialist test equipment.
RHD Scotland develops bespoke control systems for specialist test equipment, bringing together hydraulic control, instrumentation, automated sequencing and operator interfaces.
Our approach is built around the test process itself, from preparing equipment and checking operating conditions through to running test sequences, monitoring measurements and recording results.
Control and data acquisition can be integrated to provide operators with clear information during testing and a useful record of completed tests.
02 / SUBSEA & SPECIALIST MACHINERY
Engineering for demanding applications.
Specialist machinery often requires a control system developed specifically around its mechanical, hydraulic and operational requirements.
RHD Scotland has experience developing control and instrumentation solutions for subsea-related equipment and specialist hydraulic machinery.
We combine machine sequencing, sensor feedback and operator controls to provide a coordinated interface between the equipment and the people operating it.
03 / PROCESS & CIP SYSTEMS
Automation designed around the process.
Industrial processes require control systems that reflect how the plant operates, including the relationship between pumps, valves, instrumentation and associated equipment.
RHD Scotland develops bespoke process control solutions, including automation for cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems and other specialist process applications.
Our work can bring together automated sequences, operator controls, process monitoring and fault information in a single coordinated system.
ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES
From control panel to operator screen.
Our work covers the different elements required to build a coordinated industrial control system.
HMI development
Operator interfaces designed to present machine information, operating controls and diagnostics clearly.
Instrumentation
Integration of pressure, temperature, position and other process measurements into control systems.
Control panel engineering
Electrical control panels and associated equipment designed around the requirements of the application.
Data logging
Collection and recording of operational measurements, machine events and test results.
System integration
Connecting controllers, field devices and existing equipment into coordinated control and monitoring systems.
CONTROL & INTEGRATION
Bringing the equipment together.
A modern automation system often needs to coordinate equipment from different manufacturers, combining field instrumentation, controllers, operator interfaces and communications.
RHD Scotland develops integrated solutions using industrial PLC platforms, distributed I/O and communication networks.
Our experience with Beckhoff automation technology allows us to develop control systems that bring these elements together within a consistent engineering environment.
