Pre-Loaded PLCs & Drives

Increase Efficiency With Pre-Loaded PLCs Or Drives

When it comes to installing a new PLC or drive, you want the shortest downtime possible. PLC programming or pre-loaded drives from Cross Company allows you to make the changeover more quickly so you can get back up and running faster.

Whether you need us to program your PLC to interface directly to a drive to create discrete motion or you need us to preset the parameters within a drive based upon your application, Cross Automation can help!

Looking for PLCs, HMIs and other control system hardware and software for the chemical and other process industries? Visit our control system integration page!

Why Work With Us For PLC Programming Or To Pre-Load Drives?

Sometimes, just the hardware isn’t enough. Sure, you can buy PLCs and drives on the internet. But then you have to program them or set the parameters yourself. It’s fine when you have one or two pieces, but what if you have hundreds? Cross Automation can source, program and validate your drives so they arrive at your facility ready to go.

We provide robust products that are perfectly specified for your application. Cross Company is proud to work with three main PLC and drive vendors, Yaskawa, Omron and Parker. All three vendors specialize in particular types of equipment for certain installations. For example, Yaskawa’s SigmaLogic allows amplifier motion sequencing and axis control using Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLCs via Add On Instructions (AOIs).

See our blog post about AOIs. Our automation engineers work with you to understand your application and what type of motion you require and then specify the best solution and definitely not the same brand for every solution.
