ProtoLink develops applications to run in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs), or other intelligent devices. This equipment is typically found in manufacturing plants or oil & gas fields.
ProtoLink personnel have programmed a number of PLC brands, including Allen-Bradley, TI/Siemens, Modicon, GE, and Koyo. We occasionally develop embedded code to run in other intelligent devices, such as GPS-based locator systems and stand-alone protocol converters; however, we often choose to refer this type of embedded development project to a trusted partner.
