Tycon Automation Ltd has now been awarded Mitsubishi Systems Specialist status as part of the MELSMART system integrator programme. Companies selected for the integrator programme have specialist skills and experience with the Mitsubishi product ranges.

The MCE programme run by Mitsubishi tests the technical and practical ability of engineers to a stringent set of modular examinations. The MCE certification process ensures that all

Mitsubishi Certified Engineers have demonstrated a high level of technical and practical ability. Certification has become the default Mitsubishi seal of approval for the individuals and their associated companies.

Tycon Automation Ltd currently employs several Mitsubishi Certified engineers who have a vast experience and expertise in integrating a whole range of Mitsubishi products.

This will also give Tycon Automation Ltd the access to the latest Mitsubishi product information, technical support and training. This also ensures that Tycon Automation Ltd can select the most suitable automation equipment for any application, from the smallest PLC to complete automated production lines. Tycon Automation Ltd engineers are trained in the full range of Mitsubishi equipment, specialising in PLC, HMI and SCADA development.

Tycon Automation Ltd has already won major contracts for high profile companies and the ISO 9001 accreditation is testament to its effectiveness in implementing management procedures.

Director Scott Davis commented on the company’s achievement

“The process of obtaining ISO9001 has made a valuable contribution to our business. It has helped us to identify opportunities to improve our standards and procedures, and ensure that we continually improve our customer service levels”.

Tycon Automation Ltd has recently become one of the UK’s first ABB automation solution providers. As part of the world wide Channel Programme ABB approached Tycon Automation Ltd, based on their current wide and varied process expertise and excellent track record as a Systems Integrator.

With applications spanning across various UK industry sectors, Tycon Automation Ltd have built up a reputation of quality control systems built around a key focus on customer requirements.

A client demand for more information from control systems has lead to an increase in the complexity of systems. This increase in complexity requires Tycon Automation Ltd to be at the forefront of new technologies. With this in mind we are able to offer our clients the most up to date and cost effective solutions.

The products under the ABB range allow the control systems to be scaleable and effortlessly expanded. The versatile ABB product range runs from the high end process DCS systems, through to the Hybrid Mini DCS or PLC&SCADA down to the more basic fixed IO PLC systems.

The Profibus Installation Taster Workshop will be delivered by Tycon Automation Director Scott Davis, a Certified Profibus Engineer and Associate Lecturer to the Manchester Metropolitan University Profibus Competency Centre. Scott has over eight years experience in installing and troubleshooting on Profibus systems.

Tycon Automation have installed and configured numerous Profibus systems both using Profibus DP and Profibus PA on many different vendor PLC platforms.

The importance of a well engineered and installed Profibus system cannot be underestimated. With installation and design errors accounting for over 80% of the errors made with Profibus, the foundations need to be laid at an early stage for successful robust system operation. In the workshop the following areas will be covered:

• Profibus DP Network Layout
• Reflections – the number 1 problem!
• Termination – Concepts and Rules

There will also be a Live Demonstration with hands on practical session whereby everyone involved will be asked to build and test a Profibus DP network.
