Our Customer Service strategy is based on:

• Our strong relationship with Hitachi America Ltd. spanning nearly a decade,
• Our Application Engineers representing 40+ years of control and automation experience,
• An Internet presence offering the best product information and the most technical information on Hitachi PLCs, Actron software, and 3rd party products available anywhere on the web,

Lighthouse PLCs, Inc. is also proud to be numbered among a select group of distributors from around the world, chosen to represent Actron Programming Software. Actron A.B. is the “globally recognized software creator” for all current model Hitachi PLCs. Actron’s “ActSip” DOS software continues to be a cost effective and user-friendly solution to programming, documentation and trouble-shooting. Additionally, Actron A.B. is deeply involved with the new International Standard (IS) for PLCs and associated peripherals, IEC-61131. Actron’s Windows® based (W95/NT) programming software called ActWin© is on the forefront and in conformance with this worldwide standard. ActWin is so powerful that it allows the user to program in any of five inter-linked different “languages” – two textual (IL & ST) and two graphical (LD & FBD) as well as Sequential Function Chart (SFC) for program structuring. In short, a “World Class” PLC like Hitachi deserves world-class programming software like ActWin!
