When circuit diagram and control system
do not match, commissioning stalls

Coordinate electrical planning, signals and automation with each other at an early stage.

Different plan versions and unclear signal assignments lead to queries in wiring, software development and commissioning. Coordinated electrical documentation connects these work steps.

IQstruct Engineering integrates electrical design into the automation project with specialised partners. Circuit diagrams in EPLAN or WSCAD, component and control cabinet planning and change management are coordinated with the requirements of PLC, safety and plant assembly.

Electrical planning as the basis for construction and operation

Electrical design translates the process, the automation concept and the technical boundary conditions into documents for building and operating the plant.

The functional requirements of the machine, the operator's specifications and the applicable standards all have an influence, as does the specified automation platform. Added to this are the interfaces with PLC, robotics, safety technology and drives, space and heat in the control cabinet, as well as maintenance, the spare parts concept and later extensions.

The documents form the basis for control cabinet construction, assembly, wiring, software assignment and commissioning. Scope and verification documents are defined in the order.

Planning and software

One revision connects circuit diagram and program

Circuit diagrams and signal assignments serve programming, modelling and commissioning as a common basis.

Approach in the project

  1. Three people discuss a plant layout at a table, the plan of the production cells on the screenAi

    1

    Discuss process requirements

    Process description, plant layout and interfaces are clarified with your team.

  2. Three people work on circuit diagrams at a table, electrical design software on the screenAi

    2

    Draw the circuit diagram

    Circuit diagrams in EPLAN or WSCAD are created with signal assignment and equipment identification.

  3. A designer and a customer check the finished circuit diagram on the screen and tick off a checklistAi

    3

    Accept the circuit diagram

    Customer and specialists check the finished diagram before construction begins.

  4. A fitter wires a control cabinet in the workshop while a colleague prepares terminals at the benchAi

    4

    Build the control cabinet

    The executing partner builds and wires the control cabinet according to the accepted diagram.

What electrical planning covers

Circuit diagrams

Diagrams in EPLAN or WSCAD with equipment identification, terminal and cable information and signal assignment.

Control cabinet planning

Component layout, wiring routes, heat and space reserves for maintenance and extension.

Component selection

Controllers, safe I/O, drives and network components matched to the customer specification, availability and life cycle.

Documentation

Diagrams, parts and cable lists as well as revisions for assembly, commissioning and maintenance.

Interface

Coordinate signal definitions with the software early on

Circuit diagrams and component lists provide input data for programming, modelling and commissioning.

A coordinated revision prevents teams from working with different assignments. Technical project management can coordinate these handovers between IQstruct Engineering, the electrical design partner and the customer.

Frequently asked questions

We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.

Who takes care of the electrical planning?

Electrical planning is carried out with specialised partners. We coordinate their plans with the control software and the interfaces of the plant.

Which verification documents are produced?

Which verification documents are produced and which standards apply is defined in the order. Responsibility for plans, components and verification is also set out there.

Does the documentation stay up to date after commissioning?

If change management is part of the order, changes from assembly and commissioning are transferred into the plans, lists and revisions.
