Industrial Control Solutions – UL 508A Custom Panels & Automation Systems Engineered for Serviceability

At Pinnacle Power & Controls, we design and build UL 508A‑listed industrial control panels and automation systems for facilities where safety, efficiency and uptime are mission‑critical. Whether you need a single motor starter panel or a suite of PLC/SCADA cabinets for a process line, our control solutions are engineered from the ground up to match your voltage, I/O, enclosure and networking requirements.

Our portfolio spans custom control panels, VFD control panels, PLC/SCADA & HMI panels and OEM‑branded systems, all fabricated in our UL‑certified panel shop in Missouri. Each build combines robust components, clean wiring layouts and serviceable designs to minimise downtime and simplify maintenance.

Whether you’re powering a 480 V pump station, integrating a 600 V motor drive or automating a remote plant with EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP, our engineer‑to‑engineer team delivers fit‑to‑spec control solutions — rapidly and reliably.

Why Industrial Control Solutions Matter

Industrial control panels are the nerve centres of equipment and processes. They centralise power distribution, control logic and machine protection within a UL‑listed enclosure, allowing operators to start, stop and monitor machinery from a single point. Poorly designed panels can lead to unplanned downtime, unsafe conditions and code violations; well‑engineered panels deliver safe operation, efficient maintenance and room for growth.

Our UL 508A‑certified control solutions support up to 600 V and are built to NEMA 1/3R/4X/12 or Class I Div 2 specifications. Modern panels integrate PLCs, HMIs and industrial networking (such as EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP) to provide diagnostics, alarms and remote control. Proper labelling, documentation and serviceable layouts make troubleshooting and upgrades straightforward.

Reliable control panels deliver:

  • Safety & Compliance – UL 508A certification and adherence to NEC, NFPA 79 and ANSI/ISA standards reduce the risk of fire, shock and penalties.
  • Process Efficiency – Right‑sized logic and automation improve throughput and reduce operator error.
  • Serviceability – Clean wiring, labelled terminations and QA records simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • Scalability – Modular sections and standardised wiring make expansion or upgrades painless.
