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.

Enduro - Complete package for heavy-duty workRead moreEnduro Softslings builds machines for the manufacture of its own heavy lifting soft slings. For a new machine, it called in itsme for the full package: advice on the drives, supply of components and programming of the controls. “We completed the entire project in just over six months. That’s fast for such a specialised machine.”
-
Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”
