System Integration
Automation & Control Systems
The tightly integrated engineering, system integration, and fabrication professionals at Principal Technology allow us to support diverse project scopes for a broad range of clients in various market sectors. Design-Build, Build-to-Print; cold-hardware, or turn-key logic development, configuration, testing, and anything in between, our project team is accustomed to tailoring our product and service offerings to meet our client's specific project needs.
get in touch
To support your automation and control system project, our engineers have extensive experience with all major IEC 61131-3 programming languages, including ladder logic, function block, structured text, and sequential function charts.
We can configure your automation and control system using any traditional programming language. For high-availability and safety control systems, our engineers have the expertise to design and configure your system to meet industry standards and manufacturer’s safety system design requirements.
Our engineers can also develop custom dashboards and automatic reports for environmental, performance, and operations management. In addition to using modern systems and software tools, our project portfolio includes capturing data from legacy PLCs to communicate with modern plant-wide management systems.
For projects that require additional support, PTI’s engineering and design group can produce all supporting deliverables to get you from permitting through start-up and beyond, including P&IDs, ISA Instrument Datasheets, Instrument and IO Lists, Alarm Lists, Cause and Effect, Control Narratives, Shutdown Narratives, Boolean Logic Diagrams, SAMA Control Logic Diagrams, and more. See our Engineering services pages for more information.
