Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
Automation Control for Analyzer and Compliance Systems
TriCore Industrial Measurement Services (TriCore IMS) designs, programs, and integrates Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) that deliver precise, automated control for analyzer systems, Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), and sample conditioning equipment.
As a joint venture of Mangan Inc. and QA Support, TriCore unites decades of analyzer engineering experience with industrial automation expertise to create PLC-based control systems that enhance performance, ensure compliance, and simplify operation.
Our PLC solutions are built to provide seamless integration between instruments, control systems, and compliance data — enabling your facility to operate with confidence and efficiency.
Comprehensive PLC Design and Integration
Our control systems are tailored to each client’s operational requirements, ensuring compatibility with process analyzers, environmental systems, and plant networks.
Our PLC Capabilities Include:
System Design and Architecture: Development of control system layouts, signal mapping, and logic design.
PLC Programming and Configuration: Ladder logic, function block, and structured text programming for leading platforms including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Schneider Electric.
HMI and Operator Interface Development: Touchscreen panels and graphic interfaces for local monitoring and control.
Integration with DAHS, DCS, and SCADA Systems: Ensuring consistent data flow from analyzer instrumentation to plant historians and reporting tools.
System Validation and Testing: Functional, I/O, and interlock testing to verify safe and accurate operation.
Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics: Secure connectivity for system oversight and troubleshooting.
Automation that Enhances Compliance
Our systems interface directly with emissions analyzers, calibration equipment, and data acquisition platforms to automate functions such as:
System startup and purge sequences
Calibration gas switching and validation
Alarm and fault monitoring
Data acquisition and timestamping
System failover and redundancy control
Custom Control Panels and Fabrication
TriCore IMS designs and fabricates custom control panels for each project, providing a complete integration solution. Panels are built and tested in-house to meet UL 508A, NEC, and client-specific requirements for safety and performance.
Our engineers work closely with clients to ensure all control logic, wiring, and field connections are documented, labeled, and verified before commissioning — simplifying maintenance and audit review.
Industries and Applications
Designed for Longevity and Flexibility
TriCore PLC systems are engineered for future adaptability.
Our modular architecture allows for easy expansion, software upgrades, and integration with new instruments and data systems as operational needs evolve.
Combined with our field maintenance, remote monitoring, and QA support programs, TriCore ensures your control systems continue performing reliably for years to come.
