Established in 1970, IDC has extensive experience in industrial control systems including hardware solutions and programmable logic controllers, servo systems, robots and instrumentation. Our major PLC experience has been with Allen Bradley and Modicon, but we have also worked with Texas Instruments, GE, Reliance, Mitsubishi, Omron, Square D and Honeywell/ISSC. Our experience with Modicon controllers includes projects using everything from 084 through 984, and even a rare 1084 (S/N 1). We have utilized Factorymate operator interfaces on multiple applications, and have experience with Modicon’s motion control family of products. Within the Allen Bradley line of controllers, we have worked with everything from the original PLC through the PLC/5 series, SLC series and the newer MicroLogix, CompactLogix and ControlLogix series. We’ve been involved in deploying AB communications networks ranging from Remote I/O up through DeviceNet, ControlNet, Ethernet IP and general Ethernet communications networks including both wired and wireless deployments. We have also worked with AB’s motion controls (including Kinetix multi-axis servo systems using Servos communications), vision products, ASCII modules, Ethernet modules, and Prosoft communication interfaces. In summary, IDC Corporation is a well-established controls engineering and UL-listed panel build shop with extensive experience in industrial controls, instrumentation and manufacturing systems. CSA certification can also be provided as needed.
