Automation & Control Systems

From I/O list to a plant that runs itself, one accountable team.

HIKS STAR delivers automation end to end: control philosophy, PLC programming, SCADA and HMI development, BMS integration, simulated testing, site supervision and commissioning, with the same documentation discipline we apply to every panel we build. Because we build the control panels too, the hardware and the software are never two different companies pointing at each other.

What we deliver

Complete automation services.

PLC Programming

Structured, documented code written against an approved control philosophy, not folklore in a laptop.

  • Control philosophy & functional design spec
  • I/O schedules and cause-&-effect matrices
  • Ladder / FBD / ST to IEC 61131-3
  • Version-controlled, commented code handover

SCADA & HMI Development

Operator screens people can actually run a plant from at 3 a.m.

  • Graphics, alarming & trending design
  • Alarm rationalisation, no 400-alarm floods
  • Historian & reporting configuration
  • User roles, audit trail and security

BMS & DDC Integration

Buildings where HVAC, power and life-safety speak one language.

  • DDC controller engineering & points lists
  • BACnet / Modbus / KNX integration
  • Energy metering into the BMS head end
  • Graphics & sequences per ASHRAE guidelines

Drives & Motor Control

VFDs and starters configured for the load, not left at defaults.

  • VFD parameterisation & motor tuning
  • Soft starter setup and protection settings
  • Integration to MCC panels we build
  • Harmonic considerations documented

Testing & Simulation

The logic is proven before it ever meets your plant.

  • Software FAT with simulated I/O
  • Cause-&-effect verification, step by step
  • Witnessed factory test of panel + program together
  • Punch list managed to closure

Site Supervision & Commissioning

Our engineer on your site until the plant runs, then a signed handover.

  • Installation supervision & termination checks
  • Loop checking, every point, recorded
  • SAT, sequence trials & performance runs
  • Operator training and O&M documentation
How an automation project runs

Six stages. A signed deliverable at each.

Define

Control philosophy, I/O list, functional design spec, agreed before code.

Engineer

Panel design, network architecture, points database.

Program

PLC / DDC code and SCADA-HMI development to the approved FDS.

Simulate

Software FAT with simulated I/O; cause-&-effect proven and witnessed.

Install & Loop-check

Site supervision; every loop tested and recorded.

Commission

SAT, trials, training and handover with code, backups and as-builts.

Platforms

Fluent in the platforms your plant already speaks.

The handover standard

You own the system, so you get everything.

  • Commented source code and configuration backups, not locked binaries
  • Functional design spec as-commissioned
  • Loop check records for every I/O point
  • Network architecture and points database
  • Alarm list with setpoints and rationale
  • Operator and maintenance training delivered on your system
  • All of it filed behind the Panel Passport™ QR on the control panel door
