PRO Station Mobile PLC Kit

PRO Station is a mobile PLC-and-HMI kit housed in a rugged case, ideal for factory acceptance testing or training.

No equipment exists on an island. Sooner or later, process data and audit logs must connect to your facility’s infrastructure. Fixing integration issues during FAT is far cheaper than troubleshooting after the equipment arrives on site. 

To streamline that process, we developed the PRO Mobile Station: a rugged unit with a CompactLogix PLC, managed switch, and a PC workstation capable of running up to six virtual machines.

We load whatever platforms our clients use—Rockwell FT View SE, ThinManager, Historian, Active Directory, SQL, Wonderware, Ignition, PI Vision, Dream Reports, and other site‑specific tools—essentially bringing the plant infrastructure to the vendor’s floor. This lets us spot issues early, including:

1. OPC UA setup 
2. Licensing issues (Installed vs. what was ordered)
3. Thin client resolution issues / Thin Manager compatibility
4. Alarm floods or audit trail verbosity
5. Tagging and paths for historian tags
6. Characterization of data bandwidth or VLAN configurations
7. Domain Security groups

Rugged transport case

Backplane
