Reliable Automation Controls for Equipment, Processes, and Field Operations

At Hilight Automation, we provide PLC programming and automation control services in Gillette, Wyoming and surrounding areas. We help customers control pumps, motors, valves, sensors, alarms, and other equipment through efficient, reliable, and practical, automation systems.

PLCs are the brains behind many automated systems. When they are programmed and supported correctly, they help equipment run more consistently, safely, and efficiently.

What Is a PLC?

PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller. A PLC is an industrial control device that tells equipment what to do based on programmed logic.

A PLC can receive information from sensors, switches, meters, buttons, or other devices. Then it can use that information to control equipment automatically.

A PLC may be used to:

  • Start or stop pumps

  • Open or close valves

  • Turn motors on or off

  • Monitor pressure, flow, or temperature

  • Trigger alarms

  • Control equipment sequences

  • Shut down equipment when unsafe conditions occur

  • Communicate with a SCADA system

  • Automate repetitive tasks

In simple terms, the PLC controls the equipment. The SCADA system, which we also can provide, allows people to monitor and interact with that equipment.
