Data Acquisition and Process Control

Abelon design data acquisition and process control systems that provide cost- effective real-time monitoring, management and industrial control solutions. Implemented around standard PC compatible hardware and open communications standards, these systems are modular and extensible to suit a wide variety of industries and applications.

Our open platform controller has several advantages over systems from proprietary controller vendors. By selecting the best components, technologies and networking from a range of PC vendors we can always provide the most up to date, flexible, best performing and cost-effective solution. With Abelon’s retrofit services, our controller also provides an ideal upgrade path for proprietary legacy systems.

The cost-effective nature of our open platform controller allows industries to take advantage of process control where previously there were little or no cost benefits.

Open Platform Controller

The open platform controller is based around a PC based Single-Board computer with passive cooling and no moving parts. For always-on reliability, all software is supported on a Linux based kernel. The controller runs a suite of Application Control Software specifically tailored and trained to your application.

With a variety of I/O options the system can be adapted to a broad range of applications. From digital interfaces for push buttons, switches, proximity sensors and relays through to analogue modules for flow, temperature or pressure applications. Use of industry standard Ethernet based FieldBus allows support of smart I/O modules adding the flexibility of remote I/O systems and sensor termination. This is backed up by a custom interface design service.

The controller can be supplied in IP55 and upwards-compatible enclosures for industrial deployment.

Web Server Technology

With embedded web server technology, our controller is fully managed from any web browser. Importantly the web server provides full access to real time and stored historical data, including the ability to generate on screen reports and graphs. The web server replaces the traditional SCADA or HMI system with simple web browser access.
