RED Systems designs and builds pump control panels, VFD panels, MCC sections, and PLC-based control systems for industrial, municipal, and commercial pump applications across Ontario. Our controls engineers work directly with the pump and fabrication teams to deliver fully integrated, tested systems.
The RED Systems Controls Division provides controls engineering, panel design, panel fabrication, and field commissioning services for pump systems and process applications. Controls scope ranges from a simple VFD panel for a single pump to a complete PLC-based multi-pump control system with SCADA integration, remote monitoring, and instrumentation.
Working within RED Systems means controls engineering is coordinated directly with pump selection, mechanical design, and fabrication. Customers don't need to manage separate vendors for the pump, the skid, and the panel — RED Systems delivers the complete integrated system, engineered, tested, and documented.
Variable frequency drive panels and soft starter enclosures for single and multi-pump applications. Includes drive selection, panel design, wiring, programming, and pre-commissioning testing.
PLC-based control panels for automated pump sequencing, duty/standby operation, level-based control, pressure-based control, and process interlocking. Includes PLC selection, programming, and HMI where required.
Motor control centre sections, motor starters, and power distribution for pump systems. Integrated with protection, metering, and control requirements of the overall system.
Remote I/O, telemetry, and SCADA integration panels for pump stations that require remote status monitoring, alarm notification, and data logging.
Integrated control panels built as part of a RED Systems pump package or fabricated skid. Mounted, wired, and pre-tested as part of the complete assembly.
Replacement and upgrade of existing pump control panels — obsolete drives, failed PLCs, aging starters, or panels requiring expansion or modification to meet current requirements.
System architecture design for single and multi-pump applications — defining control philosophy, sequencing logic, interlocks, alarms, and operator interface requirements before hardware is specified.
Electrical design for panel power distribution, motor starters, drive selection, protection coordination, grounding, and wiring. Single line diagrams, schematics, and panel layouts developed to CSA standards.
Control logic programming for duty/standby selection, lead/lag sequencing, level-based control, pressure-based control, alarm management, and safety interlocking. Factory acceptance testing included.
Variable frequency drive selection matched to motor HP, voltage, enclosure, and control requirements. Drive programming for pump-specific applications including PID pressure control, flow control, and minimum speed protection.
Specification and integration of pressure transmitters, flow meters, level sensors, temperature elements, and other instrumentation required for process measurement, control, and protection.
Integration with customer SCADA systems, remote monitoring platforms, or telemetry networks. Includes communications protocol selection, data point mapping, and remote I/O configuration.
Send RED Systems the motor details, control requirements, instrumentation needs, and system integration requirements. Our controls engineering team will review and respond with scope and budget information.
