Thirty Years Of Control Systems Experience

Superior Systems was established in Coventry in 2000 by
John R Ferris an electronic control systems engineer for over twenty six years. Superior Systems was formed to meet the requirements of the automation & process industries with particular emphasis on reliability & ease of use.

The companies' policy is one of continuous improvement;
we achieve this by listening to our customers requirements and maintaining our high standard of quality and reliability.

Flexible, efficient and proven technology.

Programmable logic controllers or PLC's have been around forever
(in technology terms). Their proven reliability in harsh environments and design to handle many inputs and outputs has made them the foundation of many factory automated systems.

A PLC can be combined with most other technologies to provide a sophisticated control and monitoring solution. It is reassuring to know that the PLC is one less thing you'll have to worry about.

The most common architecture we prefer is a PLC to do the
real - time control and monitoring with a HMI as the operator interface. We design and supply PLC controlled systems for Industry.
Including control systems for; automation projects, pharmaceutical,
packaging, special purpose machines & the process industry.

SUPERIOR SYSTEMS uses a variety of PLC's in it's control systems.
Mitsubishi, Omron, Siemens and Allen Bradley are our first choice controllers
But we can also supply other makes if you have your own preference.


The new FX3U series is the third generation of Mitsubishi Electric's successful compact PLC family. Developed for the international market, the new controllers feature a special second "adapter bus" system, which complements the existing system bus used for expansion, special function and network modules. Up to ten additional modules can be connected to this new adapter bus.

The FX3U controllers also impress with their speed (0.065µs per logical instruction), a significantly larger instruction set with a total of 209 instructions and improved functions and modules, particularly for positioning tasks. Other improvements include enhanced communications capabilities with Ethernet, USB and RS-422 mini DIN connectors.

The enhanced networking support has also increased the I/O capacity of the new flagship model, which can now be expanded to a maximum of 384 I/O's, including networked connections.

Established in 2000, Coventry-based Superior Systems was set up to meet the requirements of the automation and process industry - with an emphasis on ease of use and reliability.
