PLC Programming and Controls

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is considered the “workhorse” of industrial control systems simply because the PLC Refrigeration Controls are responsible for the equipment and temperatures of the refrigeration plant. At Star, we know how essential this is to your business, and this is the reason we created Telstar, a department focused in the development of high quality bespoke monitoring and control systems, specifically designed for our refrigeration range of products. Telstar monitoring and control systems are at the cutting edge of technology and guarantee efficiency savings for our customers, as they pride themselves in the quality of its internal processes and bench testing

Specialists in PLC Refrigeration Controls

Star Refrigeration specialises in the customisation of software and hardware to meet customer’s specific application requirements, By utilising Telstar designed and developed hardware prior to project release for site commissioning, we are able to ensure a smooth site installation with reference to the plant control.
