SERVO SYSTEMS

The growth in use of servo drive systems in recent years has increased our application capabilities and expanded our ability as a solution provider.

Where high speed and accurate position control is required, we can introduce complex

servo systems, either as a replacement to existing control or as an enhancement. In either

case we have internal capabilities and experience to deliver the optimum system for

every project.

10

complex multi-level systems, we have the experience necessary to meet all latest British and

European Safety Legislation. Our ability to design and validate complex systems for all applications

allows us to be a market leader in the design and implementation of safety control systems

across all industry sectors.

To achieve this, all of our TUV certiied Engineers regularly attend safety system seminars and courses in

order to keep up to date with the latest changes.

14

SCADA + HMI SYSTEMS

With the rapid advance of PC technology, SCADA and HMIs have become an integral part of most integrated control systems and the primary interface for the process operator.

High definition complex interactive graphics provide sophisticated ease of the control

process as well as data acquisition and monitoring. Our experience ranges from the advent of

SCADA/HMI systems to the latest technology available today, providing bespoke tailor-made

sophisticated control across all industry sectors.

We have considerable experience when it comes to upgrading legacy systems by either

converting or upgrading the existing configuration or, re-engineering the existing system to

provide an up to date state of the art control system.

DISTRIBUTED CONTROL

SYSTEMSDCS or “Distributed Control System” provides highly scalable solutions for Process Industries.

We can select the most cost effective solution for the application and have the experience to

design and build solutions for Continuous, Batch and Hybrid processes. These processes are conigured,

maintained and lexible from a central location to the highest distribution of I/O devices to suit the

application (normal, hazardous, special instrumentation, safety…etc).

18

MES/ERP + MIS

SYSTEMSA major area for potential improvement is the collection, collation, analysis and historical storage of the data that is available across manufacturing plants via the installed base of automation systems.

Yet even today many organisations are not using this data to its full potential. The ability to easily

measure and drive production eficiency improvements, identify where energy is being wasted, as

well as the ability to link the MES/ERP + MIS system to Factory Automation to track and streamline

processes and provide management visibility locally or remotely. Using PC’s or hand held devices

has never been easier.

Essential for Sustainable Manufacturing, Iconsys has the knowledge and capability to take you there.

MACHINE VISION

SYSTEMSEssential for Track and Trace as well as product inspection and quality control.

Camera and digital inspection systems are now an integral part of modern control systems and

essential for high speed decision making in manufacturing and logistics. Iconsys has the knowledge

and experience of coniguring, networking and integrating camera and inspection systems for

a complete solution.

Machine vision implemented with the latest RFID tagging system provide the robust and reliable

tracking solutions for the most onerous high speed applications.

22

MOTOR CONTROL

CENTRESWhatever the industry or application, electric motors are required to drive plant and equipment. These are not always driven by sophisticated varible speed drive solutions; it is often advantageous and more cost effective to control these motors from dedicated Motor Control Centres (MCC).

We provide MCCs either as a stand alone system or integrated into the larger project solution.

We design, manufacture, install and commission standard or bespoke MCCs, incorporating

the hardware of the world’s leading suppliers, to suit the application and environment.

We take into account international design standards and certiication, ingress protection and

segregation requirements in order to provide the solution to meet all needs.

23

25

NETWORKS

Whether it be a single point-to-point communication project or complex multi-drive, SCADA, PLC and multi-device automation solution, flexibility of communication protocol is critical to ensure that all types of hardware communicate efficiently.

We have experience of all communication platforms and protocols. Networks have traditionally

utilised copper and ibre optic media but now include the latest wireless radio, leaky coax, mobile and

optical solutions.

New installations can be high performance, Safe, Wireless and with complex multi-devices. While retroit

projects also include networks to obscure legacy systems.

26

ROBOTICS

The growth of Industrial Robots across many industries has been extensive and rapid.

Robots are critical components to ensure quality, speed and repeatability in manufacturing.

These can be traditional, heavy duty Robots as used across the Automotive industry with tool changer

systems through to smaller Delta robots for rapid pick and place applications.

Iconsys can provide Robot integration services for the major Robot manufacturers (programming,

commissioning, teaching, network interfacing with supervisory control systems).

TRANSFORMER

RECTIFIERS

ICONSYS supply Transformer Rectifiers for industrial and harsh environments. This includes diverse applications such as on-board military or FPSO ships, in confined spaces within Oil Rig Platforms to less onerous Power Stations.

Applications include Water Cooled Transformer Rectiiers with Titanium Water to Air Heat

Exchangers for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas which require Ingress Levels up to IP66.

Typically these would be Stainless Steel 316 Cubicles which are also full load tested in our in house

heat test chamber at ambient temperatures up to 50 deg C.

Typically Oil and Gas solutions would be Ex ‘P’, Purge and Pressurised units and can include

PLC Control Panels as Ex ‘nR’ units. Currents to 4000 Amps with Voltages up to 200 V DC have

been designed.

In harsh environments where mild steel cabinets are accepted, these are typically marine

standard wet paint inished assemblies which can be supplied to local or international standards

such as Norsok.

30

SIMULATION

& EMULATIONIconsys can offer Automation System Simulation services from several powerful solutions including WinMOD and PICS.

Simulation software simulates real-world systems and machines controlled by PLC or DCS

systems. The entire system (communications, sequencing/ interlocking, HMI/SCADA, and alarms) can

be tested, all emergency faults can be veriied and operators trained prior to the system

becoming operational.

With Simulation software, control system errors can be swiftly identiied in the ofice, allowing

new processes to be implemented quickly and accurately thereby avoiding the high cost of

production downtime. The software allows the creation of a dynamic model on a PC that duplicates the

behaviour of the I/O devices, providing the control system with simulated device feedback.

The main beneits of simulation software is identifying and eliminating system problems early in

the project cycle, reducing the Hot commissioning time on site, project delays, risk reduction, right

irst time and potentially overall cost reduction.
