Design and build control panels without stress - no more working in excel sheets
 

Constantly changing demands, but also changing technology and export guidelines are well-known challenges for a machine- and panel builder. 

An ever-increasing response time is the enduring trend and process optimization a requirement. Therefore, the time is really over to manually keep track of things around an electro-technical design in an excel sheet. The time and stress that this takes and the chance of errors that such a method entails, no longer fits in a world that is changing ever faster and is becoming more digital. After all, what machine or panel builder doesn't want to be able to select the right switching and protection devices for a motor or load at the push of a button, including required cable diameters and short-circuit calculations?
 


With Siemens Control Panel Design software in the TIA Selection Tool, it is now possible to size and realize the entire electrical design. That means easy, accurate and fast design in accordance with European IEC and North American UL guidelines. Thanks to the complete digitization of electrotechnical engineering, this becomes simpler, more efficient and more flexible.

 

Control Panel Design in the TIA Selection Tool simplifies, for example, the design of motor starters/soft starters that are subject to the IEC and UL directives. In addition, the tool provides support in sizing the cabling for an application and allows important short-circuit calculations to be performed at the push of a button. Another feature is the ability to assign reference designations in accordance with major industry guidelines such as UL508, NFPA79, NEC, IEC-60204-1 and IEC-81346. The tool also provides creative functions for the purpose of generating the circuit diagrams for EPLAN and producing project documentation.
 



Control Panel Design is part of Siemens' Integrated Control Panels (ICP). Based on know-how, tools & product data for digital design, machine and panel builders are effectively helped with their business operations and greater competitiveness is realized.

Pilz PSENOpt II
The second generation of light curtains, PSENopt II, provide safe access to the production process and provide finger, hand and body protection, depending on the requirement. The first Type 3 safety light curtains are specifically designed for applications up to PL d of EN/IEC 61496-1. Type 4 light curtains are also available for applications up to PL e in accordance with EN/IEC 61496-1/-2. As the units are so robust, PSENopt II sensors provide protection against shock, collision and vibration and so are suitable for use in rugged industrial environments. The operator can evaluate the essential causes and system defects responsible for the machine stop by means of the LEDs. Downtimes are reduced as a result.

    Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScan
    Companies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.
