Electrical Engineering

Every site needs stable and functional electrical infrastructure to be able to automated and integrate their machines and process equipment. Designing and building a functional electrical infrastructure including cabinets, cabling and digitalization of designs are some of the services that Control Automation Solutions can offer for any industrial site. Including the electrical engineering side of the project in the scope of Control Automation Solutions will increase efficiency of the complete project by allowing the electrical and automation data to be shared digitally.

Digital electrical designs

Digitalizing the electrical design of a new asset, plant or machine or digitalizing the electrical system of an existing asset will greatly enhance the life cycle options an owner has for that asset. Having all the component data in a digital system, and the associated drawings in the same system, will make an extension or upgrade more manageable as the system can be updated in the same digital engineering tool. By creating an object database and using that database to generate drawings, these types of design documentation can be created based on a single set of engineering objects:

  • IO lists
  • Single line diagrams
  • Cabinet layouts
  • Load lists and cable specs
  • Bill of materials
  • Wiring diagrams
  • Instrument and component datasheets

You can see that having the digital database of objects, can make future updates and upgrades a lot more manageable as the information like IO lists can be reused to connect the existing cable layouts into an new control system for instance.

Control Cabinets

Control Automation Solutions also designs and build control cabinets for Plant IT and control/HMI components, PLCs, MCCs and other electrical plant assets. We always use a digital engineering tool to design these systems, and so the database will remain available with the life cycle of the asset the cabinets is designed for. Control Automation Solutions has a lot of experience in designing and building cabinets for special purposes like environmental monitoring and machine control, these cabinets often require integration into an existing environment which we also handle for all customers.

Remote IO Cabinets

Over the years, Control Automation Solutions has built up a lot of experience in building ICSS, DCS, BPCS and SIS systems for central control of multiple assets. These system often require remote IO cabinets on a part of the site where specialised components are required. For all types of remote IO cabinets, in all types of zones or other limited spaces, Control Automation Solutions can design and build a solutions that fits the purpose and makes it possible to have the IO stations close to the components they control.

Procurement

Control Automation Solutions can procure most of the equipment that is required for your electrical systems. Due to our good connections with OEMs and suppliers, we have good solutions for your requirements, with often more possibilities when it comes to reducing costs. With the technical knowledge Control Automation Solutions has, we can often design a solutions for you that is more practical and better supported then solutions of our competitors.

Control room refresh

Operators are important in running your site, and so providing them with a working environment where they can optimise their efficiency will be beneficial for your business results. Control Automation Solutions can help you to make your control room more ergonomic, easier to work in and more efficient by providing furniture, custom screens and alarm philosophies and IT environments. These optimisations will assist your operators to focus on the important decisions, and not be distracted by things that can be automated, or are not important at that time.
