Automation Control Panel

An automation panel is a ruggedized industrial control system used to manage, monitor, and control machinery and processes across various sectors such as oil and gas, marine, manufacturing, and power. Designed for reliability in extreme environments, it integrates core components including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, CPUs, power supplies, I/O modules, and programming devices. These systems perform key functions such as controlling operations, monitoring real-time data, ensuring system protection, and enabling communication with other systems using protocols like Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and Profibus. Automation panels are programmable, modular, and scalable, offering real-time control and robust operation 24/7. They support IEC 61131-3 programming languages like ladder logic and structured text. Compliance with international marine and offshore certifications such as ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, RINA, and ClassNK ensures safety and reliability. They also adhere to critical standards like IEC 60092, IEC 60529 (IP Ratings), IEC 60945, and IEC 61892 for electrical and automation systems, along with hazardous area certifications like ATEX, IECEx, and UL 1203. Additional compliance includes SOLAS, MARPOL, IMO MSC.158(78), ISO 9001, ISO 13849, ISO 21745, CE Marking, UKCA, and NORSOK. Specialized panel types include PLC control panels, SCADA-based systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), hydraulic and pneumatic panels. Key offshore tests such as EMC (IEC 60533), vibration and shock resistance (IEC 60068), salt spray (ISO 9227), and fire resistance (IMO FTP, IEC 60332) ensure the durability and performance of RAAH’s automation solutions in critical environments.
