Efficient control cabinet construction with IoT and AI

22.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Innovative systems and technologies make a significant contribution to Electrical Cabinets more efficient and to save time and money. They are shaped by modular concepts and intelligent solutions. In this article we take a look at the different approaches and advantages in optimized switchgear design.

Pre-assembled system solutions in control cabinet construction

With pre-assembled system solutions, valuable time and money can be saved when planning and implementing a control cabinet. Possible errors during manual assembly are significantly reduced.

The LQGroup offers a wide range of conventional switch cabinets that can be customized with a central steering, Sensors, actuators and switching devices are equipped. These control cabinets offer a wide variety of parts. LQ has specialized in the development of modular control cabinet concepts.

Individual components become complete functional modules combined and pre-assembled on a suitable support plate. This simplifies installation and increases process reliability. Prior to installation, each control cabinet module is subject to a comprehensive test report before it is delivered together with the circuit diagram, layout, parts list and 3D model.

Standards for switch cabinet construction

Various standards and regulations apply to control cabinet construction to ensure the safety and quality of the control cabinets. Here are some important normsto be observed during planning and construction: DIN EN 61439 defines the requirements for low-voltage switchgear combinations and specifies electrical properties, test methods and degrees of protection.

DIN EN 60204-1 deals with the electrical equipment of machines and specifies requirements for the electrical safety of control cabinets. In the VDE standards, the association for electrical engineering, electronics and information technology in Germany has defined recognized technical rules for safe control cabinet construction.

Control cabinets from the LQ Group

With this modular control cabinet concept, the time-consuming search for missing components in the event of faults in the control cabinet is no longer necessary electronic circuitg in the control cabinet. Instead, the entire function module is simply replaced.

According to their own statements, LQ has it organizing principle revolutionized in the control cabinet. The modular concept is based on defined input, output and software interfaces for each control cabinet module. In addition to the reduced variety of parts and assembly throughput time, there are also significantly lower procurement costs and greatly reduced storage costs.

The LQ Group offers control cabinet solutions tailored to customer requirements in control cabinet construction. The company works closely with the customer.

With IoT and AI to the perfect control cabinet

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionized. Real-time monitoring, data analysis and process automation make plants more efficient and reliable.

The IoT enables remote control and remote maintenance. The AI ​​recognizes complex data patterns and suggests optimized operating modes. Cloud integration opens up new possibilities for data analysis and remote access. After all, smart control cabinet construction is safer, requires less maintenance and saves resources.


This is how the digital transformation can succeed

Rittal Markus Ash22.03.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | "Industrial Transformation starts here" says the homepage of the Hannover Messe, which is already casting its shadow ahead. Rittal, Eplan, cideon and German Edge Cloud have shown how comprehensive solutions can be created with competence in the relevant ecosystems.

Calculate air conditioning before control cabinet production

15.05.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX | When it comes to, Control Cabinets faster, better and easier to plan, the WSCADPlanning tool more and more users. Over 35.000 customers currently use the E-CAD solution. With the Delta T module from Elmeko Now users also have the opportunity to determine the appropriate housing air conditioning online.

The Delta T calculation tool for the optimal Enclosure climate was integrated into the electrical planning program WSCAD-Suite. The exact calculation of the required cooling and heating capacity for control cabinets and housing is the prerequisite for the reliable operation of the subsequent system.

Relevant influencing factors such as ambient temperature, power loss, control cabinet material and size and type of installation must be determined. With Delta-T Design engineers and electrical planners determine the appropriate air conditioning measure including the required components in just three steps.

As a result, the tool suggests appropriate cooling devices, heaters or fans from the Elmeko range that can be used immediately Shop from the manufacturer. At the same time, the program outputs the relevant documents for the documentation, as proof of the calculation usually has to be provided.

As the free service Delta T offers the possibility to send the calculation online to the Elmeko experts for evaluation. In the short term, there is well-founded feedback and an offer for the corresponding components. Delta T is also available free of charge for users who do not work with WSCAD. As a partner of WSCAD, Elmeko presents itself at the Engineering Automation Forum.

Integrated system approach for control cabinet construction

04.04.2019 | Phoenix Contact presented with the Complete line a consistent system approach for control cabinet construction. The series includes technologically leading, coordinated hardware and software products, consulting services and system solutions for optimizing processes in control cabinet construction. Become like this Engineering, procurement, installation and operation much easier. 

The Complete line approach consists in the perfect coordination of all components involved: The product portfolio includes more than 10.000 different items for all functions of the control cabinet. The main feature of this portfolio is the consistency of all products in design, haptics and functions.

With perfect digital data, Complete line simplifies the electrical planning essential. This data accompanies and supports the entire planning and production process. In addition, the manufacturer offers individual consulting services for the optimization of all processes from classic manual assembly to fully automated production. 


3D Laser improves housing and control cabinet processing

12.06.2015/XNUMX/XNUMX | With the development of a new 3D laser center expanded Kiesling machine technology the performance spectrum of its "Perforex" control cabinet machining centers. The new development is very well suited for areas such as stainless steel, but also for sheet steel and powder-coated sheet metal.
