Control panels & switchboards<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The control panel is where the project comes together. Electrical design, components and software have to work in a single build. We build control panels in our own switchboard workshop from an approved 3D drawing, test them in our FAT area and deliver them with documentation that matches what was built.<\/p>\n\t\t

Control panels for automation, machines and plants<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We build panels you can review in 3D and test at FAT before they are delivered.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The control panel is the point in the delivery where most decisions converge: component selection, sizing, heat calculation, space constraints, labelling and the interfaces to installation and software. Late changes in the project often end up as changes in the panel. That is why we build from a drawing package you have approved in 3D \u2014 and test the panel while it is still in the workshop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Control panels are designed in EPLAN in close cooperation with production. Changes from the workshop are written into the drawing package as new revisions, so the as-built documentation matches the panel that was delivered \u2014 terminal by terminal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The build follows the drawing package: component placement from the approved 3D layout, cable routing with room for later extensions, and labelling of components, terminals and cables to the agreed standard. Heat dissipation and sizing are calculated during design, so the panel keeps its operating temperature in the environment where it will be installed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Component selection is free and independent. We size according to the plant, component availability and your maintenance, and you can see the reasoning in the open cost calculations. If a component is under- or oversized in the brief, it is caught and corrected during design.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Free component selection is also a matter of supply security. If a component is discontinued or has a long lead time, we can choose an alternative that is documented and justified in the same way \u2014 without changing the panel's function or your ability to service it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Control panels are built and tested in Vejle, Esbjerg and Szczecin from the same drawing package and to the same documentation requirements. The task and the delivery time decide which workshop builds your panel \u2014 not geography. If the scope grows along the way, production can be split across several workshops.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The interfaces to the rest of the delivery are designed into the panel. Terminal strips and labelling match the installation's cable schedule, the software's I\/O list matches the panel's physical build, and the FAT is carried out against the programme that will run on the plant. On delivery, the installer and the commissioning engineer therefore receive a panel that matches the documentation \u2014 and the rest of the plant.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We build control panels for automation projects, machine controls and process plants \u2014 one-off and repeat deliveries for machine builders and OEMs, and panels for industry in general. For repeat deliveries the drawing package is already approved, and every panel is built and tested from the same basis \u2014 so machine number twenty gets the same panel as machine number one.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Whether it is one panel or the first twenty in a production series, the same drawing package, the same labelling principle and the same test plan lie behind it \u2014 so you know exactly what you are getting, every time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A panel delivery is not just the panel itself \u2014 it is the complete basis that comes with it:
\u2013 Approved 3D layout and electrical schematics in EPLAN
\u2013 Bills of materials (BOM) and open cost calculations with component justifications
\u2013 Panel built, labelled and wired according to the drawing package
\u2013 FAT to a test plan, with test report
\u2013 As-built documentation that matches the delivered panel<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The panel can stand alone as a delivery \u2014 or form part of a larger responsibility with us, where software, installation and service are built in from the design stage. Interfaces and documentation stay connected, wherever the line is drawn.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\tWhat we build<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The panels we build<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Three types of task: the control panel in an automation project, the large power and distribution boards, and the smaller boards for installations.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n
\n \t\t\t\"Styretavler\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Control panels for machines and process plants<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The panel that brings together PLC, I\/O, motor control and safety circuits in a single build. It is built from an approved 3D layout and electrical schematics in EPLAN, tested in our FAT area and delivered with as-built documentation that matches the panel as built.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t\"Effekt-\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Power and distribution boards<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Main and distribution boards for larger plants, where power, selectivity and space constraints have to fit together. We size according to the plant and select components freely, so the board fits the installation rather than a fixed product range.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t\"Mindre\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Smaller boards for installations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Site distribution boards, sub-distribution boards, charging boards for e-mobility and special builds are made in our switchboard workshop, Tech Eltavler. The same drawing package, the same labelling principle and the same documentation requirements as for the large panels.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Three parts of the delivery you can read more about.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t\"FAT\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

01 \u00b7 FAT of control panels \u2014 testing with customer participation<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The panel is tested in our dedicated factory acceptance test (FAT) area to a test plan you know in advance. Testing takes place separately from the rest of production, so you can follow it without disturbing other work in the workshop. You are welcome to take part: walk through the functions, inspect the build and see the results while faults can still be corrected in the workshop. The test report accompanies the delivery.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t\"UL-tavler\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

02 \u00b7 UL-listed panels for the US market<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If the plant is going to the USA, we design and build the panel to UL requirements from the first revision \u2014 component selection, labelling, clearances and documentation comply with UL508A, so the panel can be certified and shipped without rework afterwards.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t\"Serieleverancer\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

03 \u00b7 Series deliveries for machine builders and OEMs<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The first panel is built from a drawing package you have approved. From there, every subsequent panel is built and tested from the same basis \u2014 the same labelling, the same documentation and the same test plan \u2014 so machine number twenty gets the same panel as machine number one.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
