PLC Wiring Expertise
Control Wiring That Will Not Haunt Your Maintenance Team
Moonlight Electric Solutions provides PLC and automation wiring services for industrial facilities throughout Cheyenne and southeastern Wyoming. We install control panels, terminate field wiring to PLC racks, hook up instruments and final control elements, and document every conductor for future commissioning and service work.
Most plants we visit have at least one panel where the original wiring discipline broke down: unlabeled conductors, missing ferrules, undocumented changes. Troubleshooting that panel during a production stoppage costs hours. We approach every install as if we were the next person to open the panel, because we often are.
A PLC panel is read-only when it is built right. Open the door, follow a wire from terminal to terminal without confusion, and commissioning becomes a verification exercise instead of a discovery exercise.
Cheyenne and the surrounding region host a growing automation footprint: process control in oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, agricultural processing, and discrete manufacturing. We serve plant engineers, maintenance directors, and the integrators they partner with across Laramie County and northern Colorado.
Our PLC and automation work covers new control panel builds, panel modifications and additions, field wiring runs from PLC to instruments and final control elements, motor and VFD control wiring, and complete documentation packages. We work from your integrator landing diagrams or develop point-to-point schedules in coordination with your controls engineer.
Clean control wiring is a habit Isaac brought back from federal automation work, where a single mislabeled conductor in a control panel could stop a commissioning sign-off cold. The standard there was simple: every wire numbered at both ends, every shield landed and noted, every signal type kept separated so analog instrument runs do not pick up noise off the power wiring. We build that way on every Cheyenne panel. It costs a little more time at the bench and saves your maintenance team hours every time a loop has to be traced or an integrator needs to verify a point. The plants that have lived through a 2 a.m. troubleshoot in a panel built the other way understand exactly why that matters.
PLC Wiring Capabilities
Control Wiring Services
Control Panel Builds
UL-listed control panel construction including PLC racks, power supplies, terminal blocks, relays, and HMI mounting. We work to your integrator drawings or develop drawings in partnership with your controls engineer.
PLC Field Wiring
Conduit, tray, and conductor installation from PLC panel to remote I/O cabinets, instruments, motor starters, and final control elements. Every wire ferruled and tagged.
Instrument Hookup
Process instrument wiring including 4-20mA loops, RTDs, thermocouples, flow meters, and pressure transmitters. Loop checks performed during commissioning.
Network Cabling
Industrial Ethernet, EtherNet/IP, ProfiNet, and Modbus TCP cabling between PLC, drives, HMI, and remote I/O. Shielded cable with proper grounding for noise immunity.
Panel Modifications
Adding I/O cards, expanding terminal strips, integrating new instruments, and updating drawings to match field reality. Disciplined change documentation.
Commissioning Support
Loop check support, point-to-point verification, and field troubleshooting during integrator commissioning. We carry diagnostic tools and PLC programming software for the major platforms.
Installation Process
How PLC Wiring Projects Work
Drawing Review and Field Survey
We review the integrator landing diagrams, panel drawings, and instrument list. We walk the field route to identify conduit paths, mounting locations, and any field conditions that affect the design.
Material Procurement and Pre-Fabrication
We procure cable, conductors, terminal blocks, and labeling materials. Where possible, we pre-fabricate panel assemblies and pre-cut cable runs off-site to compress field installation time.
Field Installation and Termination
Our electricians install conduit, pull conductors, and terminate to specification. Every conductor is ferruled, every terminal block is labeled per the drawing, and every panel door is sealed against plant dust and condensation.
Loop Checks and Documentation
We perform point-to-point continuity checks, loop checks on every analog signal, and deliver an as-built drawing package marked up to reflect any field deviations from the original design.
