Controls & automation
Control systems that keep plant running
Motor control centres, PLC and automation panels, and bespoke control systems for pumps, HVAC, water and process applications.

Control built around your process
Nulux Energy designs and builds custom control panels and motor control centres at our Albion Park Rail and Kiama facilities in NSW. Whether you need a single PLC panel, a multi-section motor control centre or a fully integrated automation cabinet, we engineer it in-house, build it to order and test it before it ships. Our control systems run pumps, plant and process equipment for industrial and infrastructure clients across NSW. Control work is unforgiving — a board that's poorly laid out or hard to service costs you for years. We build panels that are logical to wire, easy to fault-find and documented properly, so your electricians and integrators aren't fighting the cabinet on site. What we build: - Motor control centres (MCC) — multi-section assemblies controlling banks of motors, with the segregation and access your maintenance team needs. - PLC and automation panels — control cabinets housing PLCs, I/O, relays and field wiring, built around your control philosophy. - VSD and soft-starter panels — variable-speed drive and soft-starter assemblies, designed with the thermal management and harmonic considerations these require. - Custom control and instrumentation panels — bespoke enclosures for monitoring, switching and process control. Every panel is made to order from your drawings and functional specification — or developed with our engineers if you're starting from a concept. Integration and capabilities: We build to suit the platforms and standards you already run: - PLC and HMI integration for the major automation brands, with provisions for SCADA connectivity. - Instrumentation and field wiring terminated, labelled and documented to make commissioning straightforward. - Drive and starter integration including VSDs and soft starters, with appropriate cooling, filtering and protection. - Enclosure selection — floor-standing, wall-mounted or weatherproof, with IP ratings matched to the environment. If you have a control specification, we build to it. If you have a problem and a process, we'll help you design the panel that controls it. Industries we serve: We manufacture control systems for— - Water and wastewater — pump stations, treatment plant and telemetry-connected control. - Manufacturing and process — production line control and motor management. - Mining and resources — robust control assemblies for demanding environments. - Building services — HVAC, pump and plant-room control for commercial buildings. Compliance and testing: Our control panels and motor control centres are built to AS/NZS 61439 where applicable, and every assembly is inspected and tested before dispatch. We carry out factory testing so issues are found in our workshop, not on your site, and we supply as-built drawings and documentation with every board so your team can maintain it confidently for years. Why choose Nulux for control systems: - In-house engineering — control design and manufacturing under one roof, with fewer hand-offs and faster turnaround. - Made in NSW — local manufacturing means realistic lead times and local support, not an overseas queue. - Built to be serviced — logical layouts, clear labelling and full documentation. - 15+ years of experience across industrial and infrastructure control projects. Discuss your control project: Send us your drawings and functional spec, or just tell us what the system has to do and we'll help you scope it.
