A quick guide to identify what you need —from a spare part to a turnkey project— with the key data we ask for to get your case ready for HG Control's engineering review.
Identify your case and gather the key data. With that we scope the work, spot what's missing and prepare the technical review.
When you have a part number, brand, nameplate photo or a component to replace —with or without downtime urgency.
When you need to control the speed of a motor, pump, fan or conveyor, with energy savings or process control.
When you need to reduce inrush current and protect mechanical equipment, without varying speed during operation.
When you group several loads, motors, starters or drives in a single power panel.
When you automate a machine, process, skid or pumping system and need to integrate signals, PLC and HMI.
When you need a complete solution with several panels, power, control, testing, installation and commissioning.
When you already have equipment or panels, but need diagnostics, programming, migration, commissioning or on-site support.
Quick answers to what we're asked most when defining an automation solution.
HG Control y Automatización develops and integrates industrial automation solutions: electrical panels, spare parts, variable speed drives, motor control centers, PLC/IO panels, engineering services and turnkey solutions for industry, from Torreón, Coahuila, since 1995.
A VFD is the right choice when a motor needs speed control, energy savings, acceleration and deceleration ramps, integration into process control or advanced protection depending on the application.
A soft starter is the right choice when the motor only needs to reduce inrush current and mechanical stress at startup, but does not need to vary its speed during normal operation. If you need continuous speed control, a VFD is the correct option.
To define a PLC panel you need to know the physical inputs and outputs, the signal types, the preferred PLC brand, the HMI, the communications, the environment, the control voltage and whether the scope includes programming, testing or commissioning.
For an MCC you need the load list (HP/kW, voltage and starting type per motor), the main feed, the communication, the applicable standard, the environment and whether a fixed, modular or intelligent option is required.
Yes. A photo of the nameplate, label, component or panel helps identify brand, model, capacity and missing data. A full review may require confirming part number, quantity, condition, compatibility and application.
Yes. HG Control can review equivalents when a spare part is obsolete, unavailable or requires replacement. Every equivalent is validated technically —model, voltage, firmware and application— before it is used.
Yes. HG Control is a registered control panel builder under the UL 508A standard, with UL labeling on the finished enclosure and NEC / NFPA 79 compliance.
Yes. In the event of a shutdown or risk of one, the priority is to correctly identify the equipment and its criticality. Share part number, brand, quantity, nameplate photo and affected equipment, and let us know if you accept a technical equivalent.
Tell us what you need and share whatever technical data you have at hand. We'll prepare the scope, the main components and the gaps for an HG Control engineering review.
