Data Solutions has a vast knowledge base on PLC networks, including ControlNet, Ethernet, Modbus+, Unitelway, FIPIO and FIPWAY, Data Highway Plus, ASi.

Allen Bradley ControlNet
Our Engineers commissioned the biggest Allen Bradley ControlNet System in the UK at a large, well known International Airport and have since travelled the world setting up ControlNet Applications, as far a field as Dubai.

Allen Bradley Ethernet System
Many of our systems use this standard connection, as it allows PLC`s, PC`s, SCADA, Printers or whatever, all to share the same Network, so common in industrial and commercial installations.

Modbus+
A large proportion of our Airport work revolves around Modbus+ talking PLC`s to each other and SCADA systems and the use of TIO blocks to distribute all the I/O to reduce cabling costs and installation time.

Telemechanique ASi
Extensive use has been made of ASi. Our customers like this, as it is a true universal network. Many manufacturers support ASi, such as Telemechanique, Siemens, Datalogic, Peperal Fuchs, to name but a few. Of all the network standards for Remote I/O, this system has got to be the fastest to install. For one clothing retailer in Leeds, we were able to install and commission over 150 metres of conveyor between Friday 17.00 and Sunday 13.00 hours, lorries were loaded and away with capacity loads by 16.00 hours.
