With “Control Panel Design” Siemens Smart Infrastructure has integrated new electrical planning features into TIA Selection Tool, the Siemens configuration and ordering software. This makes electrical pre-planning completely digital. Now, electrical planners can design and dimension the main electrical components of a machine quickly, easily, and in accordance with IEC and UL standards. This reduces the required effort to perform the task, minimizes potential error sources, and helps machine and control panel builders improve their competitiveness. TIA Selection Tool is designed to make it easy and convenient to configure and select all components of industrial control panels. By integrating the new features, the tool allows users to design electrical as well as mechanical and automation components using one set of data and one platform. This lays the foundation for significantly more efficient development processes, faster lead times, and smarter electrification solutions for industrial environments.
