Automation Ready Panels introduces the next level of the Control Panel Design Customer Experience:  Hardware Design, Software Design, and Engineering Service for the price of our Competitions Hardware Build-to-Print.

This Standard Automation Panel is based around a small micro PLC, Color/Touch HMI, FVNR Motor Starters and/or Powerflex 523 Variable Frequency Drives (*).  With this control panel, the PLC can be programmed flexibly with many logic options and HMI with features and settings for operational flexibility.  Automation Ready Panels pre-programs this system with Discrete Input Debounce (On/Off Timers) programming blocks to keep inputs from flutter or can be used for delay timers on levels, photoeyes, or other sensors.  Motor and VFD programming blocks are included with feature rich functionality.  VFDs are networked over modbus to reduce IO requirements and bring in smart data from the device.  A shell sequencer program has been added to reduce final integration time.  The HMI has pre-designed graphics for IO status, VFD status and faults, settings input boxes, maintenance mode and manual start stop of motors, trends, user security, recipe management, and alarm summary.  If desired, one of Automation Ready Panels controls engineers can program up to one hour of free programming (**) to finish off your sequencer, meeting your applications needs.  This means that a fully functional controls system can be delivered and ready to install, wire sensors and motors, power up, and the system is up and running.

(*) Up to 10 Motor Starters or VFDs can be used in this design with a Full-Load Amps of less than 200 Amps (Due to our 200 Amp Max Disconnect Limitation: largest motor amps x 1.25 + sum of other motor amps + non-motor continuous loads x 1.25).  Visit https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/elctrical-motor-full-load-current-d_1499.html for motor FLA chart.  Panel Size may be larger than shown if large VFDs are selected (May also include fan/filter kit if VFDs are selected).  Temperature calculation assumes only back of panel has no air flow, Indoor Use (out of direct sunlight), 50-90°F Ambient temperature.
(**) The free included hour of programming can also be used either partially or fully for CAD drawings updates and/or remote installation phone support.
