Interface System (IS)

  • Overview

    Welcome to the 21th Century...

    We have become an Information society, which through a variety of devices and accessories, have instant access to just about anything we want or need to know about.

    The IS brings that same accessibility to the world of Process Control.

    Because the IS is based on and designed to seamlessly interface with current and future Information Networking and Interface technologies, you are “ready to go” when it comes to Interfacing with and Managing any Process Control System.
