PLCs – 25+ years combined experience
NAS’s engineering department has highly qualified Controls Engineers on staff. Our combined experience exceeds 25 years across many platforms and industries. The focus and depth of our PLC programming experience is diverse. The majority of our work is in the following industries: water/wastewater, substation automation, motion control, chemical delivery systems, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical industries.

SCADA – 20+ years combined experience
NAS’s experience includes, but is not limited to, the following SCADA Software: Iconics, Intellution, Lookout, RSView, WinCC, and Wonderware. Our experience is with both stand alone and networked SCADA Systems. We currently have many sites with remote access and dial out options such as Web Pages, Software Alarm Dialers, and PC Anywhere for timely support. We have also automated reporting and historical data collection functions using off the shelf and proprietary software.

Contract Manufacturing & Assembly
Over half of NAS facility capacity is set aside for assembly. NAS can manufacture fully designed electrical control panels (OEM), or aid in the design of a variety of panels ranging from process controls, security, HVAC and Explosion Proof (C1D2).

Communications
NAS has successfully integrated communication across many mediums such as fiber, wire, and radio communications. We are experienced in many protocols such as Ethernet IP, PFI, Modbus, Modbus TCP, Profibus, DeviceNET, and DH+.

Radio Telemetry Studies
When a system requires testing for radio communications, we will do a survey to assure paths, elevations, and frequencies for all sites in the network will meet operational standards for proper performance.

Processing Platforms
Our staff has worked with the following operating systems: Dos, Unix, Linux and all Microsoft Windows Platforms.

Programming Languages
Our staff can program in the following languages: Visual Basic, C/C++, Assembly, Structured Text, Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart (Grafcet) and Flowchart.

Troubleshooting
Our Engineering staff has over 25+ years of field experience troubleshooting hardware, software, and communications. We have the staff and tools available for all types of automation field service from the SCADA and PLC systems down to the calibration of field devices.

Project Management
NAS Engineers bring a half century of combined experience in control systems project management for both large and small corporations.

CAD Drawings
NAS utilizes AutoCAD and Promise E capabilities.

Engineering and Design
Our staff has consulted for the City of Mesa, Chevron, Delta and Pine Land Company, Air Science, Inc. and Sundt Construction. Our Engineers have assisted Brown and Caldwell, ADP Marshall, Black and Veatch, Malcolm Pirnie, Carollo Engineers, and Bechtel. Our assistance included specification writing, specification review, design consultation, and integration assistance.

Panel Fabrication
NAS panel shops are capable of standard, UL-508 and UL-689 panels. NAS will build to a provided panel design or supply the design as part of the project.

Training
NAS Engineers can provide training in Modicon and Allen-Bradley, Intellution and RSView, Communications, and Control Design. NAS is able to write custom classes for on-site training.
