MTA’s controls programming team has extensive experience in developing custom controls programs to meet our customer’s needs. The programming team primarily uses standard, “Off the Shelf” hardware and software packages with an emphasis on integration to the customer’s existing facility and operations.
To help customers better understand machine operations, the programming team can develop sequence of operations, timing charts, and/or Program Flow charts before a single line of code is written. At the conclusion of each project, all developed programs, fault/alarm list, and configuration files are provided to the Customer.
