In massive industrial facilities or multi-story complex structures, a central management system (SCADA or BMS) is indispensable. However, when maintenance is required on a motor or intervention is needed in an emergency, it is impossible for the operator to travel to the control room kilometers away. This is where local control panels (LCS) step in, ensuring operational safety and ergonomics in the field. With its Konya-based engineering experience, Şalt Otomasyon integrates these remote points into the building automation panels ecosystem while offering the most durable cabinet solutions with its identity as a Konya Tempa Partner.
The Importance of Local Control in Building Automation The nervous system of modern buildings and factories usually consists of a central backbone managed by PLC control panels or building automation panels. However, "on-site management" is essential for a fan motor next to an air handling unit (AHU) or a cooling tower on the roof. Local Control Stations (LCS) allow maintenance personnel to safely stop and start the motor by seeing and hearing it. These panels, designed by Şalt Otomasyon, are not just simple on-off boxes; they are smart units that report the status instantly to the SCADA system and the main center via signal lights and communication modules.
Durability in Harsh Conditions with Konya Tempa Partner Local control panels often have to work in the toughest points of the field; in damp basements, dusty production areas, or under direct sun and rain. Therefore, the quality of the cabinet, which is the "armor" of the panel, is vital. As a Konya panel company, we use Tempa Pano's modular, corrosion-resistant solutions with high IP protection class in our projects. With the advantage of stock and fast supply provided by being a Konya Tempa Partner, we deliver the stainless or painted sheet metal panels your project needs to your site as quickly as possible.
Safety Chain and Integration A local control panel is the most critical link in the facility's general safety chain. The "Safety Switch" (Maintenance Safety Switch) and "Emergency Stop" buttons used during maintenance ensure the technician's life safety. These panels, produced with Şalt Otomasyon engineering, work in full harmony with Siemens Sivacon S8 panels or motor control centers (MCC) at the main center. An intervention made locally immediately sends a signal to the breakers or drives on the Main Distribution Boards, pulling the energy to a safe level.
