Controls-First Engineering

Modern automation without losing sight of the machine.

Evangelista’s Electric combines field electrical experience with controls engineering and software development. That means the design is considered from the sensor and control cabinet all the way through the PLC, HMI, network, and operator experience.

Primary focus: industrial controls, automation, machine modernization, process control, and custom integration.

Core Capabilities

Controls and automation services

Support for new equipment, existing production assets, and modernization projects where electrical, controls, and software must work as one system.

01

PLC & HMI Programming

Sequence control, interlocks, alarms, recipes, data handling, operator interfaces, and IEC 61131-3 programming in Ladder Logic and Structured Text.

02

Control Panels & Electrical Integration

Custom cabinet design, component selection, I/O integration, VFD controls, power distribution, field wiring, and system checkout.

03

Legacy Machine Modernization

Replacement of aging relay, analog, or unsupported PLC systems while preserving the useful mechanical equipment and proven process.

04

Industrial Networking & Remote Support

Modbus TCP/RTU integration, machine networking, secure remote access, troubleshooting tools, and communication between PLCs, HMIs, drives, and computers.

05

Custom C/C++ & Embedded Controls

Custom firmware, microcontroller applications, data collection utilities, protocol interfaces, Linux-based tools, and purpose-built machine functions.

06

Process Control & Troubleshooting

Temperature, pressure, speed, position, motion, encoder, and production control applications—plus systematic fault finding when equipment is down.

Selected Work

Real projects. Real equipment. Purpose-built solutions.

The examples below use photographs and screen captures from work directly completed by Evangelista’s Electric.

Control Panel Integration

Custom machine controls and operator interface

Integrated PLC control, distributed I/O, motor switching, field devices, and touchscreen operation into a serviceable machine control system.

Custom industrial HMI screen developed for machine operation and monitoring
HMI & Software

Operator-focused control and diagnostics

Custom displays organize commands, machine states, production information, alarms, and troubleshooting data so operators and maintenance personnel can act quickly.

Legacy Modernization

Remote monitoring added to existing equipment

Older process equipment was extended with modern sensing, control logic, alarming, and browser-accessible monitoring without replacing the entire machine.

All featured photographs and software images represent work directly performed on customer projects—not stock photography.

Project Execution

A practical path from problem to production

Assess

Review the process, existing controls, failure points, operator needs, available documentation, and production constraints.

Design

Define the architecture, I/O, electrical requirements, sequence of operation, communications, safety interfaces, and service strategy.

Build & Program

Develop the control panel, PLC logic, HMI screens, software utilities, network configuration, and supporting documentation.

Commission & Support

Test the system, verify field operation, tune the process, train users, resolve startup issues, and support the equipment after handoff.

Technology & Integration

The platform follows the application.

Controls are selected around capability, maintainability, availability, customer standards, and the long-term needs of the machine.

Protect Existing Equipment Investment

Modern controls for machines that still have productive life.

Aging controls do not always justify replacing the entire machine. Strategic modernization can improve reliability, diagnostics, safety interfaces, repeatability, and access to replacement components while preserving the mechanical asset.

  • Replace obsolete PLCs, displays, relays, and proprietary controls
  • Add alarms, fault history, production data, and remote visibility
  • Integrate modern sensors, encoders, drives, and networking
  • Document the upgraded system for future maintenance

Additional Capabilities

Electrical experience beyond the control cabinet

Select exhibit, display, and electrical projects remain available, supported by the same emphasis on clean installation, dependable operation, and practical serviceability.

Exhibit & Display Controls

Modular power distribution, custom lighting controls, interactive elements, RGB systems, remote monitoring, and wiring designed for repeated setup and teardown.

Electrical Troubleshooting & Upgrades

Selected electrical repairs, alterations, equipment connections, upgrades, and troubleshooting where licensed field experience is essential to the solution.
