Welcome to the Likvod Systems Ltd projects information page.

This provides a brief summary of some of the projects that we have undertaken.

Camway: Camway is a programming environment for the Seriol range of outstations manufactured by Seprol Ltd of Sheffield. It enables engineers to write programs in the Sercal language used by those outstations, but also allows mimics to be developed, so that technicians can alter the configuration of outstations by filling in the blanks. It includes a system of version control, to manage upgrades to a suite of programs. It has now been officially adopted by Seprol as one of the ways to program their outstations.

Leeway: Leeway is an outstation operating system and programming environment. It uses a block structured language, where blocks are drawn on a page, and joined up with a mouse, to define the way in which a process is controlled. It was developed for a Water Company in the South East, and runs on PC-based equipment. One of the fundamental design criteria for the design was that the original software should be able to run on the new hardware without modification, so that existing process control did not have to be re-engineered, and staff did not have to be re-trained.

Headway: Headway was developed for another major Water Company, to provide monitoring of lone workers. who book into work for a limited period. The system raises alarms on a regional telemetry system if a worker fails to book out within an agreed time limit.

S500 Procons: These products consist of credit-card sized PC cards, which fit into an S500 outstation manufactured by Seprol Ltd, and provide protocol conversion between the messages used by the outstation and those used by a number of manufacturers of PLCs. Nine different varieties have been produced, and although some of the protocols are now included in the outstation firmware, most are not. The PC cards are manufactured by DSP Design of Chesterfield, with programming by Likvod Systems.

Data Extraction: Projects have included extracting a large number of insurance records from a (theoretically) closed system, and then transferring them to a PC-based database system.
