Design Service Options

 

1. Custom Hardware Interfaces

At ONTRAK CONTROL SYSTEMS INC., we have been designing and manufacturing serial data acquisition interfaces since 1986. The majority of our business consists of custom design of interfaces for a wide variety of applications including, automotive, medical instrumentation, industrial, SCADA, laser control, vending, and R&D . Custom design can involve a new design from the ground up or modified stock products. Engineering charges are very reasonable and are often $0 for modified stock products. Stock products can be modified to provide signal conditioning or drive circuitry to interface, relays, sensors, keyboards, temperature sensors, bridge type sensors, LED arrays, LCD modules, stepper motors, dc motors, quadrature encoders or whatever is required by the target application.

2. Custom Software Solutions

ONTRAK CONTROL SYSTEMS INC., has the capability to provide software solutions for your application. Using a variety of development platforms, complete turn-key solutions can be produced. Whether DOS, or Windows Based, solutions can be developed quickly and efficiently using our existing libraries of software functions. Coupled with a stock or custom hardware interface, a complete turn-key system can be produced.

3. Custom Firmware in Silicon

We offer a unique service to OEM’s who require serial data acquisition functionality in their products. We will license our core products for use in your product by supplying pre-programmed MPU’s with the functionality you require. I/O counts can range from 1 to 100’s. A/D, D/A, digital I/O, counters, timers, serial ports are just a few of the functions available. Surface-mount or through-hole packages with our stock or custom firmware designed to work with target hardware, will be shipped at very reasonable rates and short lead times.

To inquire about custom products contact Tom Fortin at our Sudbury office.

Certification and Standards Compliance

Our factory has been certified and monitored by CSA for over 20 years. This factory certification allows the use of the CUS (CSA/UL) mark on products and ensures both safety and quality of every product that leaves the factory.

Over the past few years Ontrak Control Systems has been transforming all components used in production to no-lead, RoHS compliant parts. Similarly, all plastics used in enclosure manufacturing are PBB free in compliance of RoHS standards. As of March 2006, all in-stock components, used in manufacturing all products, are lead free. The last step in our transition to RoHS compliance was the replacement of our through-hole and SMT solder equipment to a TIN-SILVER-COPPER chemistry ensuring full RoHS compliance before the July 1, 2006 deadline.

Microchip Technology of Chandler Arizona has named Ontrak Control Systems Inc. its top consultant ( of over 340 companies worldwide ) for designs completed in 2003. Microchip evaluates designs submitted by companies listed as consultants on its web site and each year picks the top consultant based on innovative use of its products in designs brought into production. We have always striven to be the best in the world at what we do and we are very proud that Microchip Technology, one of the worlds largest microchip manufacturers, has given us this honored recognition. ( Dec 2004 )

Ontrak Control Systems has now passed its First Factory Inspection by TUV Rheinland allowing use of the TUV mark on all products approved by TUV Rheinland for distribution in Europe. ( Feb. 2001 )
