Hardware Design

Electrical Circuits
Circuit design is the foundation of every system. From simple relay circuits to complex PLC systems (including position & motion control, variable speed drives, vision systems, barcode identification, data communications etc etc) Finesse Control Systems experience will ensure the hardware design is optimised.

 

Control Panel Layouts
A well laid out control panel makes all the difference to the operators ergonomics, to ease of maintenance and to reliability. Additionally layout can be critical to EMI & EMC control. FCS has many years of panel design experience that will ensure you get the benefits of a good design.

 

Operator Interface
Whether your preference is for hardwired push buttons or for a Computer based HMI (Human machine interface). FCS has the experience to specify and design.


Mechatronics
Integrating the control system with the mechanical actuation and feedback is all part of the overall project. As well as good basic in-house mechanical knowledge we have, associate mechanical engineering companies in the area on whom we can call to ensure the whole system is engineered for success.

 

Process Control & Instrumentation
Understanding the processes is a key requirement to specifying the instrumentation and control hardware necessary to ensure effective monitoring and control of the vital process criteria. At FCS our experience goes beyond just automation specialists, with wide experience of many aspects of engineering, (Mechanical and Process as well as Electrical and Instrumentation) we have the ability to specify the complete solution giving fully integrated solutions.

Hazardous Area Applications
Having experience designing systems for UK and Norwegian offshore installations, FCS can deliver designs compliant with ATEX & NORSOC requirements for whichever zone the equipment has to operate. Third party certification can be arranged by FCS.

 

AutoCAD
Our preferred drafting tool for design work is the industry standard AutoCad.
