Multi-megawatt electric frac pumps operate in conditions that punish control systems: sustained vibration, dirty power, and temperature extremes from desert to winter operations. A control fault at these power levels can destroy equipment or injure operators. The customer needed an embedded control architecture that was genuinely reliable in the field, not just on the bench.

Good Automation designed the control core on NI CompactRIO with deterministic timing, structured state machines for fault detection and safe shutdown, and sensor fusion across pressure, flow, temperature, and vibration channels. Clean APIs connect each pump to fleet-level supervisory control, enabling coordinated operation across dozens of units without sacrificing per-unit autonomy or safety response time.
