Industrial Controls Repair

What Is an Industrial Control System, & How Does It Work?

Industrial control is a specific application of electronics where various components, circuits, and equipment are used to operate and optimize various types of machinery used in manufacturing plants and other industrial settings. The machinery can include everything from robots to electric motors, hydraulics, and other actuators. Some of these system controls are fully automated, some combine both human intelligence with artificial intelligence, while others still are designed to be completely human-operated. Some of the major classes of industrial control systems include the following:

• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
• Distributed Control System (DCS)
• Intelligent Electronic Device (IED)
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
• Programmable Automation Controller (PAC)
• Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
• Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS)
• Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
• Plus, various other types of sensors, control servers, and control interfaces

Industrial Control Repair Services with AES

Functional ICS environments are what make many modern industrial operations function, thanks to their ability to unite electronic devices, machinery, and human efforts together to work in tandem towards a common goal. Unfortunately, a problem with any one element of your ICS can end up throwing a monkey wrench into the entire process. The good news is that AES has a proven strategy and effective track record for being able to accurately diagnose and repairing industrial control systems! Once you send your component to us for evaluation & repair, here’s what will happen:

Free evaluation & repair confirmation: In order to best frame what your equipment issue actually may be, we’ll start by conducting a thorough, FREE analysis of your ICS component to pinpoint any problem areas. Once we have a better gauge of the opportunity issues, we’ll send you a quote detailing what it will take for us to be able to provide an effective repair service. Once you confirm the repair order, we’ll put it on our repair schedule, and then we’ll get to work!

In-depth inspection: We’ll power up your device and check every single input, output, and physical connector.

Component repair, maintenance, & refurbishing: We’ll examine each and every electronic and moving part, and make necessary repairs and adjustments. Individual components with high failure rates like relays, capacitors, and isolators will be replaced, if needed. We maintain an extensive inventory of both common and hard-to-find parts in our warehouse, so our team stays well-equipped to be able to service practically any ICS component. And in the rare event we end up needing something we don’t have on hand, we can get it fast!

Run a test program: After we inspect, repair, and replace all essential elements, we’ll run a test program to make sure any integrated CPUs and internal logic systems are functioning correctly.

Follow-up testing: We’ll test other essential features too, like the battery, circuitry, ladder logic, and whatever other specific features may apply to your particular ICS. We’re also intentional about testing everything under a full load, so we can ensure that everything will work properly for you once it’s integrated back into your own facility.

Cleaning: Once the repair work is done, we’re still not finished. We’ll also give a thorough cleaning of your entire unit, inside and out. Nobody’s better suited for cleaning and maintaining sensitive internal electronics than the AES team! Finally, we’ll test everything one more time to make sure it’s good-to-go. Our intent is to restore your equipment to like-new condition, and in some cases, we can even get it working in better-than-new condition!

Packaging: Once the process is complete, we’ll carefully pack your item(s) and prepare it all to be promptly shipped back to you! Alternatively, if you dropped it off in person, we’ll notify you that your item is now ready for pickup.
