Key Takeaways
- NCR plants use PLCs for machine control, utilities and line monitoring with HMI panels and Citect SCADA.
- RB Automation is an authorised Schneider Electric partner and Rtelligent's technical partner.
- Choose by I/O count, motion needs, communication, and the platform your plant has standardised on.
- We also build PLC control panels and supply the drives and sensors around the PLC, shipped from Ahmedabad.
Many of the OEMs headquartered in Delhi NCR buy control hardware for plants spread across north India, while the region's own machine builders and factories need PLCs for everything from a two-axis label applicator in Okhla to a utility system in a Noida electronics plant. RB Automation is a PLC supplier in Delhi NCR, supplying Schneider Electric and Rtelligent controllers from Ahmedabad and helping buyers choose the right platform.
Two Controller Platforms, One Supplier
Buyers in the NCR usually arrive with one of two briefs. Either the plant or the end customer has a Schneider standard that every new line must follow, or a machine builder wants a capable controller at a sensible cost for a machine that will be sold in volume. We cover both.
When the specification says Schneider
RB Automation is an authorised Schneider Electric partner. From the Modicon family we supply machine controllers for OEM equipment, process controllers for utilities and process skids, motion controllers for synchronised axes and distributed I/O for spreading points across a line. The Schneider PLC page has the details. On the operator side, Harmony panels such as the ET6, GTO, GXU and STO and STU series cover simple to larger screens, and Citect SCADA handles plant-wide supervision.
When the machine builder chooses
Rtelligent controllers suit OEMs who build motion-heavy machines. The RX3U has pulse outputs for stepper and servo axes, the RX8U is a compact small PLC, and the RM500 combines PLC logic with EtherCAT motion. Field points can be extended with card-type remote I/O and the REC1 EtherCAT coupler. For the smallest machines, the MX3G-43C-22MT and MX3G-70C-48MT put the logic and the touch screen in a single unit; see PLC-HMI combo.
PLC Use Across Delhi NCR
Machine control for packaging, printing and SPM builders
Builders in Okhla, Mayapuri, Wazirpur and Patparganj often pair a pulse-type PLC or a PLC-HMI combo with stepper and servo axes. Multi-axis machines move to an EtherCAT motion controller.
Assembly lines in Gurugram, Manesar and Faridabad
Auto and two-wheeler component plants use networked PLCs, remote I/O and HMIs on assembly, testing and press lines, often standardising on one platform across the plant.
Utilities and line monitoring in Noida, Greater Noida and Bhiwadi
Chilled water, compressed air and effluent systems use PLCs with analogue inputs from pressure and level transmitters, with Citect SCADA collecting alarms and trends.
Questions to Answer Before You Pick a Controller
- How many switches, sensors, valves and analogue signals will it read and drive, and how many might be added after commissioning?
- Does the machine move anything with steppers or servos, and if so, how many axes and do they need to stay in sync?
- Which devices must it talk to: drives, HMI, barcode readers, a SCADA PC or a plant network?
- Is the end customer, often a large plant in Gurugram, Manesar or elsewhere in north India, insisting on a particular brand?
- Will points be spread along a long line, where remote I/O saves cable runs back to one panel?

Control Panels and the Rest of the System
We build PLC control panels and customised automation solutions, and supply the drives, transmitters and sensors that connect to them. See our AC drive guide and servo drive guide for Delhi NCR.
Starting Points by Type of Project
| If you are building | A sensible starting point | Usually paired with |
|---|---|---|
| A small label or coding machine in Okhla or Mayapuri | MX3G PLC-HMI combo or RX8U | Stepper drivers |
| A packaging machine with two to four motion axes | RX3U pulse-type PLC | Stepper or servo drives, HMI |
| A synchronised multi-axis printing or assembly machine | RM500 with EtherCAT, or a Modicon motion controller | Fieldbus servo drives |
| An assembly or test line for a Gurugram or Manesar auto plant | Modicon machine controller if the plant specifies Schneider | Distributed I/O, Harmony HMI |
| A utility or effluent system in Noida, Greater Noida or Bhiwadi | Modicon process controller | Transmitters, VFDs, Citect SCADA |
These are starting points only; the final choice depends on the I/O list and the protocols already on site.
A Typical PLC Application in Delhi NCR
Take a typical compressed air and chilled water utility in a Greater Noida plant. A PLC reads header pressure from pressure transmitters and tank level from level transmitters, sequences two compressors and runs the chilled water pumps through VFDs to hold pressure. An HMI at the utility room shows status, and Citect SCADA in the maintenance office logs alarms and running hours. At the other end of the scale, a packaging builder in Okhla may need only an RX3U driving three stepper axes with a small HMI for recipes. Knowing which of these you are building is the first step in choosing the controller.
Where PLC Projects Go Wrong
- The I/O list grows during commissioning and the rack has no free slots.
- A machine is designed for four axes but the PLC only has pulse outputs for two.
- The new controller cannot talk to the drives or HMIs already installed.
- An OEM ships a controller brand that the end customer's maintenance team does not support.
- Each line in a plant gets a different brand, so spares and programming skills multiply.
Checklist for a PLC Enquiry
- A rough I/O list: digital, analogue and any temperature inputs
- Number of motion axes and the drives used
- Networks needed, for example Modbus, Ethernet or EtherCAT
- Whether an HMI, SCADA or a full control panel is required
- Any brand the end customer specifies, the quantity and where in the NCR it is going
Why NCR Buyers Choose RB Automation for PLCs
As an authorised Schneider Electric partner and Rtelligent's technical partner, we can recommend a Modicon platform where your plant or end customer has standardised on Schneider, or a cost-effective Rtelligent controller for OEM machines. We have no NCR office; selection is handled by phone, WhatsApp and email, and orders and panels are dispatched from Ahmedabad. See the full range we supply to Delhi NCR.
Conclusion
The right PLC depends on I/O, motion, networks and your plant standard. Share your machine or system details with RB Automation and we will recommend a Schneider or Rtelligent controller, with HMI and panel if needed, supplied to Delhi NCR.
