PLC & SCADA Programming
We develop control logic for industrial process automation, HMI visualization interfaces, and SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and remote management of facilities.
What We Offer
PLC Programming & Control Logic:
Development of complete control logic for industrial process automation — including sequential control, interlocking, alarm management, and fault handling for water treatment plants, pump stations, solar power plants, and BESS systems.
HMI Development:
Intuitive operator interfaces designed around the real needs of site personnel — clear process visualisation, alarm displays, manual override controls, and trend views that make everyday operation straightforward and safe.
SCADA System Design & Configuration:
End-to-end SCADA development covering tag configuration, communication setup, historian integration, alarm management, and dashboard design — giving operators and asset managers full real-time visibility of their facilities.
Energy Management Systems (EMS):
Specialised control logic for battery energy storage systems — managing charge/discharge cycles, state of charge optimisation, grid interaction, and integration with solar generation assets.
Remote Monitoring & Telemetry:
Configuration of secure remote access and data acquisition for geographically distributed assets — enabling centralised monitoring, event logging, and remote diagnostics without requiring on-site presence.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT):
All PLC and SCADA software is fully tested in our workshop prior to site delivery — simulating real process conditions to verify control logic, alarm responses, and communication integrity before commissioning begins.
Why It Matters
Bad software in a good panel still fails.
Hardware can be perfectly built and installed — but if the control logic doesn't accurately reflect the process requirements, the system won't perform as intended. Poorly written PLC code leads to nuisance alarms, unexpected shutdowns, unsafe operating conditions, and costly troubleshooting during commissioning.
At LACOM, PLC and SCADA development is not treated as an afterthought. Every program is developed against a formal functional specification — the same document our engineers produce during the engineering design phase — so the software is always aligned with the project intent from day one.
We work with industry-standard platforms including Siemens TIA Portal, Siemens WinCC and our engineers bring direct field experience from water treatment, pump station, and renewable energy projects — meaning the control logic we write reflects how these systems actually behave in operation.
Aditional Benefits
One team writes the spec, builds the code, and commissions the system.
When the same engineers who developed the functional specification are also the ones programming the PLC and commissioning the system on site, there is no room for misinterpretation. Requirements don't get lost in translation between contractors, and changes during commissioning are resolved immediately — not after weeks of back-and-forth between separate teams.
This continuity across the full project lifecycle means faster commissioning, fewer defects, and a system that the operators can actually rely on from day one — backed by engineers who understand every line of code they wrote.
