PLC & Automation Control Panels
Custom, UL 508A Control Panels That Run Your Process.
Spike Electric designs and builds custom, UL 508A-certified control panels that monitor and control industrial equipment and processes — motors, pumps, breakers, and full production lines. Built around programmable logic controllers (PLCs) along with relays, timers, sensors, starters, and controllers, our panels deliver flexible logic, remote monitoring and data, a compact footprint, and energy-efficient operation, and are engineered to perform in rugged, demanding environments.
Panel Types
Both panel types are custom-built to your specifications and UL 508A-certified; the tabs below describe the focus of each. Spike primarily builds automation panels on a PLC platform, so the two overlap closely.
PLC-based panels for the highest efficiency, accuracy, and reliability — ideal for complex processes and high-level motor control, with accurate data and remote monitoring.
- Best for: Complex industrial processes and high-level motor control requiring accurate data
- Specify at quote: AC or DC system and the communication method/protocol for the panel
- Advantages: High speed and reliability, flexible/modifiable logic, compact size and frame, low power/energy consumption, and remote communications
- Protocols: Multiple protocol options to broaden application coverage
Panels that monitor and control heavy-duty, large-scale automated machinery across industrial and commercial facilities — giving operators hands-free control, high efficiency, and flexibility.
- Function: Monitor and control automated equipment and processes, simple to complex
- Built from: Relays, timers, sensors, starters, and controllers
- Benefits: Greater control over facility equipment, hands-free operation, modifiable logic, and a reduced frame
Design & Build Capabilities
Our in-house team engineers each panel to your specifications and supports upgrades and retrofits of existing panels — including a full 3D CAD layout, a bill of materials for suggested components, and wiring schematics. We can retrofit and pre-wire a new back panel with your components and coordinate with your contractor so the changeover is clean.
