Technology Stack
The platforms, protocols and infrastructure behind the systems we engineer and support.
Built across the
industrial stack.
Metcode OT works across control, visualisation, networking, industrial data and engineering platforms to create integrated operational technology environments.
PLC Platforms
Control systems
Platforms used for machine, process and plant automation.
SCADA & HMI
Visualisation and supervision
Operator interfaces and supervisory platforms for control, alarms, trends and diagnostics.
SCADA, HMI, gateway, historian and industrial application platform.
Panel and operator interfaces integrated into PLC control systems.
Dedicated SCADA clients and control-room operator stations.
Industrial Networks
Plant communications
Protocols and network technologies connecting PLCs, drives, remote I/O and third-party systems.
Real-time industrial Ethernet communication for automation systems.
Industrial communication for remote I/O, drives and field devices.
Industrial Ethernet communication commonly used in Rockwell environments.
Open Ethernet protocol for PLCs, drives, meters and gateways.
Protocol conversion and connectivity between different automation platforms.
Managed switching, segmentation and plant network infrastructure.
Industrial Data
Historian and databases
The data layer supporting process history, reporting, diagnostics and operational analysis.
Long-term storage of time-series process and equipment data.
Structured storage and integration for SCADA and historian data.
Operational views for engineering, maintenance and production teams.
Engineering Environment
Tools behind the work
Engineering software and workstation environments used to configure, maintain and support OT systems.
Siemens PLC configuration, programming and diagnostics.
Rockwell PLC engineering and ControlLogix programming environment.
Unitronics PLC and HMI programming environment.
Project development, visualisation and SCADA engineering.
Engineering, server and operator workstation environments.
Utilities for IP, protocol and communication troubleshooting.
Protocols & Interfaces
Connecting different systems without losing control
Industrial plants often combine multiple generations of equipment and different vendors. Our integration work focuses on making those systems communicate reliably and predictably.
