PLC
Our Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) offer ultimate flexibility.
A PLC can be programmed to control practically anything. Their performance, reliability, and scalability make them ideal for medical campus central utility plants and manufacturing plants. Additionally, PLCs provide a high level of sophistication and redundancy for mission critical applications, while industrial hardening enables them to withstand extreme environments.
PLC Services - Control Panel Design, Programming & Support
At Affinity Energy, our engineers specialize in PLC control panel design, programming, field installation, commissioning, and support. We have experience with multiple manufacturers and can program PLCs using ladder logic, function block, and structured text. Our electrical application expertise includes (but is not limited to) transfer schemes, energy curtailment, load shed, active power management, motor controls, and application-specific controls for motors, circuit breakers, transformers, inverters, generators, and battery systems.
Affinity Energy is an open systems integrator, meaning we can provide PLCs with identical capabilities from various brands in a range of price points. Our agnostic approach to manufacturers also reduces the costs associated with future support and expansion.
We utilize many PLC manufacturers including, but not limited to:
- Allen-Bradley (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix)
- Schneider Electric
- Automation Direct
- Phoenix Contact
Why Choose our PLC Consulting Services
Choosing the right PLC can be overwhelming for most people. However, if you’ve been tasked with determining what control solution is needed for your next application, a control system integrator (CSI) can be an excellent resource. A CSI should be technology agnostic. Their priority should be to understand your specific technical and commercial requirements.
Only after clearly understanding your objectives should a CSI begin the process of discussing potential PLC options. It should never be the other way around. If a CSI tries to make your application fit into their PLC solution, then you are not working with a true systems integrator.
At Affinity Energy, we are not partial to a specific PLC manufacturer. Instead, we have extensive experience with numerous PLC brands, each with its own merits.
