Dryspec kiln controls for process control and reporting

Dryspec®

The Windsor Dryspec® control system is our flagship control system built on a PLC platform. A Factory Talk View SCADA PC provides an intuitive, operator centred, high performance HMI to support product scheduling, fault finding, historical data trending and manual control as required.

Operator controls are customised to meet the needs of the site. Alarm configurations, site layouts, geographic orientation and site-specific equipment are also integrated into the HMI and PLC systems. Additional equipment controls, custom reporting and SQL data exchange can be added if desired.

All PLC components are Allen Bradley Control logix and all other control devices used are freely available.
