When to Repair, Retrofit, or Replace Your Industrial Control PaneL

Industrial control panel broken

Industrial control panels are the backbone of your operation—until they aren't. One small failure can take down an entire line, delay shipments, or leave your team scrambling to figure out what went wrong.

Most facilities start with basic troubleshooting, and in many cases, that’s the right first step. But if issues keep coming back—or worse, you’re experiencing complete shutdowns—it’s time to dig deeper.

Common Troubleshooting Steps for Control Panels

When a control panel malfunctions, most teams start by:

1. Checking for power loss at 24VDC or 120VAC

2. Resetting tripped breakers or overloads

3. Inspecting wiring for loose or corroded terminations

4. Reviewing PLC fault codes and HMI messages

5. Verifying that ventilation and enclosure temperatures are within spec

   
   

If you’ve already gone through these steps and the problem still persists, the issue likely goes beyond a quick fix.

The Cost of Waiting: Downtime, Safety Risks, and Revenue Loss

We hear it all the time—"It worked fine last week." But behind that phrase is often a history of band-aid fixes, aging components, or a lack of proper documentation. If your control panel is showing signs of wear, your operation could be one unexpected failure away from a full stop.

These are the red flags:

• Frequent resets or unknown error codes

• Obsolete components you can’t easily replace

• Panels that overheat or trip under load

• No existing prints or documentation for legacy equipment

• Recurring issues that basic troubleshooting no longer solve
