Thomsen Electronics

Thomsen Electronics develops customized electronics and firmware for industrial machinery and devices. The developer has 20+ years of experience with development of industrial electronics. Many industrial machines are controlled by PLCs. This is a relatively quick and versatile way to manufacture industrial machinery, but can also be quite costly. If your company makes many similar or identical machines, you might consider switching from PLCs to customized electronics. Thomsen Electronics can help you with that. The cost of a PCB will typically be a tiny fraction of the cost of a PLC, with the same inputs and outputs. The PCB can be designed so sensors and actuators can be connected directly to dedicated connectors, thus reducing or eliminating the need for rows of terminal blocks. All I/O ports, analog and digital, are on the same PCB, instead of being divided into separate modules. Furthermore, special input and output ports, not typically found in PLCs, can be added to a customized PCB. As a Thomsen Electronics customer, you will be part of the development process, including the choice of connectors and terminals. When the customized control PCB has been designed correctly, machine wiring should be noticeably faster and easier, further reducing cost. Also, customer specific features can be added to the controller firmware, adding functionality that you may not have had in your PLC. Apart from the usual industrial analog and digital inputs and outputs, the PCB can be equipped with ports for - Photodiodes and other optical sensors - Pressure sensors - Oxygen sensors - Thermo-electric coolers (TEC) - AC current transformers - Flame sensors - Load cells and the list goes on. Please let me hear about your needs for an industrial control unit, so I can help you reduce cost and add functionality to your industrial product.
