PLC / HMI / SCADA Programming
PLC / PACs
PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers) and PAC’s (Programmable Automation Controllers) are specialized industrial processors built specifically to handle real world inputs and outputs and control manufacturing equipment such as pumps, valves, motors and all sorts of sensors. They are the brains of your process and require specific programming to optimize performance and provide the required control over manufacturing equipment.
Do you have legacy or outdated PLC hardware and are looking to upgrade?
Bay Area Controls specializes in Legacy Control Systems Upgrades and Migrations to new hardware and software platforms.

HMI / SCADA
HMI (Human Machine Interface) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are control system architectures that provide graphical user interfaces to operate equipment, collect data, and manage your process through communications with PLC’s / PAC’s and other software solutions. If PLC’s and PAC’s are the brains of a process then HMI / SCADA systems are the central nervous system, allowing you to interact with your process and get feedback from your automation equipment. HMI’s provide local control over equipment while SCADA systems can control and manage processes for entire facilities. Industry trends show a preference of implementing SCADA systems over HMI’s because they are scalable, and provide a wide range of solutions for data collection, batch operations, user security, reporting and much more.
