SigCore UC

SigCore UC is an embedded industrial I/O and control platform. It was designed to bring real-world signals into a software-controlled, network-accessible system without forcing engineers into large PLC-style infrastructure for smaller test and control applications.

The platform combines digital inputs, relay outputs, analog I/O, embedded Linux services, API access, and local control coordination. It is intended for test stands, machines, instruments, and distributed control systems that need practical I/O with software flexibility.

What It Is

SigCore UC is a deployable hardware controller for connecting sensors, relays, analog signals, and external systems.

It provides a bridge between physical I/O and higher-level software control.

What It Connects

  • Digital status signals
  • Relay-controlled equipment
  • Analog sensors
  • Analog command signals
  • Network clients and APIs
  • Local embedded services

Architecture Highlights

Embedded Linux Core

Linux handles coordination, networking, APIs, local services, configuration, and user interfaces.

Hardware-Level I/O

Digital, analog, relay, and peripheral interfaces are handled at the proper electrical layer.

API-First Control

External software can command, monitor, and integrate with the controller over the network.

Capabilities

  • 8 relay outputs
  • 8 digital inputs
  • 4 analog inputs
  • 4 analog outputs
  • PID coordination
  • Remote monitoring
  • API integration
  • Embedded control services

SigCore UC is currently being brought to market through Crowd Supply.

TestCentrix

TestCentrix is a SCADA platform built specifically for test environments. Traditional SCADA systems are usually designed around stable equipment, fixed configurations, and long-term installations. Test systems are different. They change frequently.

A test may involve a chamber, power supply, electronic load, data acquisition hardware, relay control, safety inputs, external instruments, and custom logic. The problem is rarely one device. The problem is making all of those devices behave like one system.

TestCentrix is intended to sit in that integration gap. It provides a common place to define signals, coordinate equipment, monitor system state, log data, and execute test behavior.

TestCentrix system overview

What It Is

TestCentrix is not a general-purpose factory SCADA system. It is a test system coordination platform.

It is designed for environments where engineers and test labs need to assemble, modify, repeat, and understand tests quickly.

What It Connects

  • Environmental chambers
  • Power supplies and loads
  • Data acquisition hardware
  • Controllers and PLCs
  • Safety and status signals
  • Custom test equipment

Architecture Highlights

Test Definition Layer

Test configuration, signal meaning, control behavior, and logging are treated as one coordinated definition.

Unified Signal Model

Hardware channels, engineering names, units, limits, and system state are represented together.

Reusable Integration

Device interfaces and test components can be reused instead of rebuilt for every new setup.

Capabilities

  • Supervisory control
  • Signal mapping
  • Real-time monitoring
  • Data logging
  • Triggering and sequencing
  • State awareness
  • Device integration
  • Test configuration reuse

Built to Prove the Work

These products are part of the same engineering practice: software, hardware, signals, control, logging, and deployment treated as one system.
