BRING MACHINE CONTROL
AND OPERATOR VISIBILITY TOGETHER.
TM Engineering supplies and integrates PLC and HMI solutions for industrial machinery and production processes.
Whether you are developing a new control system, replacing ageing equipment or improving an existing machine, we can help connect the hardware, software and operator interface.
DISCUSS YOUR PLC & HMI REQUIREMENTS →
OPERATOR INTERFACE
CONTROL HARDWARE FROM
ESTABLISHED AUTOMATION BRANDS.
PLC and HMI selection is based on the machine requirements, input and output capacity, communication needs, available panel space and future expansion.
MACHINE LOGIC.
OPERATOR VISIBILITY.
A programmable logic controller, or PLC, receives signals from sensors and other devices, executes the control program and commands machine outputs.
A human-machine interface, or HMI, gives operators a screen for viewing machine conditions, adjusting authorised settings and responding to alarms.
PLC
Receives machine inputs, executes the control program and commands outputs.
HMI
Gives operators visibility of machine conditions, authorised settings and alarm information.
HARDWARE AND CONTROL
BUILT AROUND THE MACHINE.
PLCs, HMIs, signals and machine functions need to work together as one control system.
PLCs &
EXPANSION MODULES
PLCs and expansion modules selected around the required machine inputs and outputs.
HMI
TOUCHSCREENS
HMI touchscreens for machine operation and process information.
DIGITAL &
ANALOGUE I/O
Digital and analogue signal integration for sensors, actuators and drives.
SEQUENCING &
MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Machine sequencing, interlocks, timers, counters and recipe functions.
ALARMS &
DIAGNOSTICS
Alarm displays and diagnostic information can help operators understand machine conditions.
CONTROL SYSTEM
UPGRADES
PLC and HMI upgrade support for ageing or changing machine control systems.
A CONTROL SYSTEM NEEDS
MORE THAN HARDWARE.
A useful control system needs more than a PLC and a screen. TM Engineering can assist with programming, HMI development, fault finding and migration planning.
Selection considers input and output capacity, communication requirements, panel space and future expansion.
For an upgrade, existing programs, drawings and connected equipment are reviewed to establish what can be retained and what needs to change.
UNDERSTAND WHAT EXISTS
BEFORE YOU CHANGE IT.
For an upgrade, existing programs, drawings and connected equipment are reviewed to establish what can be retained and what needs to change.
START WITH
THE MACHINE.
Share your machine description, existing PLC and HMI model numbers, input and output list, and any available drawings or program backups.
We can help define a suitable solution and quotation.
