PLC Programming

Programmable controllers are at the core of process control.
KGN has been successfully implementing programmable controllers since our company’s founding. In fact, we are a leader in the process-control industry, recognized as an authorized System Integrator (SI) by all major industrial programmable controller manufacturers.
KGN‘s success and recognition as a programmable controller system integrator can be attributed to our years of experience and our proven project methodology that includes:
1) Documenting programs with instruction comments, tag descriptors, rung comments and annotated program files
2) Utilizing standard template methodology that includes repeated functions such as motor control, valve control and analog input control.

3) We have developed templates that include:

(a) Motor control

(b) Valve control

(c) Analog monitoring

 (d) Discrete alarms

(e) PID control loops (feed forward, cascade, etc.)

(f) Alarm sequence

4) Our process-control programming expertise has been applied across many industries for many different process applications, including:
(a) Standards development 

(b)  Sequences 

(c) Lead/lag logic 

(d)  Mass balance logic

(e)  Load-sharing logic 

(f)  Checked I/O logic 

(g)  Alarm handling 

(h)  SCADA systems

(i)  Languages–Ladder Logic, Sequential Function Chart, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram.
(j) Safety Instrumented System (SIS) with Safety Instrument Function (SIF).
(k)  Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems.

Technology

The communication technology offered by KGN represents the most up-to-date network infrastructure available on the market. Generally based upon Ethernet standards, it offers both high levels of inter-operability between equipment within a system, and the possibility to remotely access the machine or system to carry out remote supervision and maintenance work.
To facilitate communication between systems, our solutions are based upon standard communication protocols with proven reliability, such as MODBUS TCP/IP over Ethernet, OPC UA, PROFINET, ControlNet, etc.
All of our systems are developed in accordance with international standards, carefully following the constructor’s guidelines and the needs of the client, and personalizing functional details while complying with the need to integrate low level control systems with DCS, MES and ERP distributed control systems.
