Industrial Control Systems

Reliable embedded units supporting data acquisition, process control, and real-time decision networks

What are Industrial Control Systems?

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are specialized embedded computing units designed to monitor, control, and optimize industrial processes in real-time. These systems serve as the intelligent core of manufacturing operations, infrastructure management, and automated facilities. They bridge the gap between physical machinery and digital control, enabling precise, reliable, and efficient industrial operations.

At Sun47 Microsystems, we engineer industrial control systems that combine robust hardware design with sophisticated software capabilities, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial environments while providing the flexibility to adapt to evolving process requirements.

What Can Be Achieved?

📊 Data Acquisition

Collect real-time data from multiple sensors and instruments, providing comprehensive visibility into industrial processes and equipment status.

⚙️ Process Control

Execute precise control algorithms to maintain process parameters within specified tolerances, ensuring consistent product quality and operational efficiency.

🧠 Real-Time Decision Networks

Distributed intelligence across multiple control units, enabling coordinated decision-making and adaptive responses to changing conditions.

🔄 Automation & Optimization

Automate complex industrial processes, reducing manual intervention while optimizing resource utilization and throughput.

🛡️ Reliability & Redundancy

Fault-tolerant designs with redundant systems ensure continuous operation even in the event of component failures.

📈 Scalability

Modular architecture allows systems to scale from single-unit control to plant-wide automation networks.

Key Applications

  • Manufacturing: Production line control, quality monitoring, and automated assembly systems
  • Process Industries: Chemical processing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage production
  • Infrastructure Management: Water treatment, power distribution, and building automation systems
  • Material Handling: Warehouse automation, conveyor systems, and robotic material transport
  • Energy Management: Smart grid control, renewable energy integration, and load balancing
  • Quality Assurance: Automated inspection, testing systems, and compliance monitoring

System Capabilities

Our industrial control systems support extensive I/O capabilities including analog inputs/outputs, digital I/O, communication interfaces (Ethernet, serial, fieldbus protocols), and specialized industrial protocols. They feature deterministic real-time operating systems ensuring predictable response times for critical control loops.

Advanced features include remote monitoring and control, data logging and analytics, alarm management, and integration with enterprise systems. The systems are designed for long-term operation in harsh industrial environments, with extended temperature ranges, vibration resistance, and protection against electrical interference.

Integration & Connectivity

Our control systems seamlessly integrate with existing industrial infrastructure, supporting standard protocols such as Modbus, Profibus, EtherCAT, and OPC-UA. They can function as standalone controllers or as part of larger distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks.
