INTER CONTROL - Partner its Customers

In cooperation with you, INTER CONTROL designs the control system for new machines, provides the electronic components and programs the complete application software.

If desired, the application software is handed over along with a machine specific training. Thus, you will be enabled to maintain the application software and implement new functions by yourself.

Our team of application engineers has decades of practice in the automation of off-highway-vehicles.

Safety concepts

We support you in the realization of functionally safe mobile machines with our team of TÜV-certified Functional Safety Engineers. If required, we will accompany you through the entire safety process, from the elaboration of the safety requirements to the completion of the safety-related functions.

During implementation, you can draw on our relevant process experience as well as on a comprehensive library of safety-related software modules. Prepared documentation templates support the creation of standard-compliant documentation.

Our offer includes the following services: 

  • Creation of the system concept
  • Creation of the safety concept
  • Elaboration of the safety-related software specification
  • Elaboration of the high-level design
  • Elaboration of the low-level design
  • Programming with Codesys V3.5 SIL2
  • Execution of the module tests
  • Support with the integration tests
  • Support during the validation of the machine function
  • Support during the acceptance by a certification body

Programming

For you, our application department creates on your behalf the complete program or parts of your machine automation with functions such as:

  • Hydraulic control functions
  • Machine communication based on CAN (CANopen, J1939, CANopenSafety, CAN2.0) and Ethernet (Modbus, OPC UA, TCP-IP, UDP)
  • Remote maintenance with IOT Gateway
  • Driving functions
  • Load moment limitation
  • Automatic leveling
  • Operator guidance
  • Data logging
  • Communication with higher-level systems via Ethernet and router
  • Communication to radio remote controls
  • Safety functions and diagnostics

In addition, we support you with software module tests, integration tests and final validation.

The program is created in CODESYS V3 or CODESYS V3 SIL2 for safety applications.
