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.

TR Service - Future-proof low-voltage panelRead moreTR-Service provides industrial maintenance using all disciplines, from electrical and mechanical to hydraulic and pneumatic. With support from Breemes, the company installed a large low-voltage panel. ‘After discussing my summary plan with them, I decided to just do it,’ says director-owner Raoul Tielens. At Breemes' suggestion, the panel was future-proofed by preparing it for power monitoring.

Eneco - Green light for green electricity and steamRead moreEneco Bio Golden Raand, located in the port area of Delfzijl, converts biomass into green electricity and green steam. Each year, the plant processes approximately 300,000 tons of waste wood from the Netherlands and neighboring countries. As part of Eneco’s climate ambitions, a project began in 2022 to replace the existing fluorescent lighting in and around the boiler room. The project was carried out under the supervision of itsme. “Two factors were important in this process: the cost, of course, but also the level of service.”
