CAN-based control system design

TKE Technology provides CAN-based control system design for manufacturers, helping build scalable communication architectures and reliable, efficient machine control systems.

Control system design for reliable machines

CAN and CANopen architecture, integration and development for reliable, scalable machine control systems.

Control system design services

Control system architecture design

Design of scalable control system architecture and industrial network topology to ensure reliable communication, cybersecurity, and efficient automation system performance.

CAN network and hardware design

Defining and selecting physical layer components such as controllers, PLCs, I/O systems, field devices and communication hardware to ensure reliable and cost-effective system implementation. Our product development expertise also supports custom hardware and embedded software development when standard components are not enough.

PLC and control software development

Development of PLC programs, automation logic and application software for industrial and mobile machines as part of our broader product development services.

Design review and support

Expert review of architectures, technologies and implementation strategies before project execution. Existing systems can also be evaluated through CAN bus testing and troubleshooting to identify communication and integration issues.

From communication architecture to implementation

We help manufacturers overcome the engineering challenges of developing scalable and maintainable control systems

Integrating PLCs, ECUs & I/O devices

We integrate PLCs, ECUs, sensors and I/O devices into reliable control systems, ensuring efficient communication and compatibility between system components.

Defining scalable control architectures

Design reliable CAN and CANopen communication between controllers and connected devices. For engineering teams developing or maintaining these systems, we also provide practical CAN, CANopen and SAE J1939 training.

Designing efficient CAN communication

We design CAN and CANopen communication architectures with appropriate network topology, bus load and message structures for reliable machine operation.

Our control system engineering supports applications across mobile machinery, marine systems, energy storage and defence, where reliable communication and system integration are critical.

Reviewing and validating architectures

We review existing control system designs to identify communication risks, integration challenges and opportunities to improve reliability and maintainability.

Reducing system complexity

We simplify control architectures by optimizing communication, hardware selection and system integration while maintaining the functionality required by the machine.

Control system design is part of TKE Technology’s broader engineering services for intelligent machines, covering product development, testing, CAN training and machine connectivity.
