PLC PROGRAMMING

A PLC, or programmable logic controller, acts as the brain of most automated or semi-automated industrial equipment. The program defines the full operation of the machine, and a well-written program is critical to maintaining and extending the system to maximize its productive life and achieve full return on investment.

PLC SOLUTION

LABURA Engineering develops new PLC solutions from start to finish including functional specification development, offline programming, simulation to optimize startup time and onsite commissioning. We also troubleshoot, update, and add to pre-existing PLC systems. Our team is always read to consult our clients on automation component selection, assist in programming standards development, and provide training for our customers.

SOFTWARE APPROACH

At LABURA Engineering we focus on well-designed and structured, modular PLC code appropriate for any factory. Our reusable code utilizes function and class-based architectures and adheres to IEC 61131-3 standards including structured text, function blocks, and sequential flow charts. The benefit is a flexible system that is easier to understand, debug, and modify for future needs.

We have libraries of previously developed, reusable code available for new systems that help reduce development cost and time.
