3D Electrical Design: Streamlining Design and Manufacturing with Digital Twins of Control Panels

2D Electrical Design vs 3D Electrical Design: A Comparison of Control Panel Production Two-dimensional circuit diagrams are used for the manufacturing of control panels and wiring of cables. Where on the mounting plate are components or holes needed? Where should cable ducts, DIN rails, and terminals be installed? Often, the manufacturing of panels progresses based on the technology and know-how of panel manufacturers. However, due to labor shortages and the retirement of skilled technicians, it may become impossible to produce control panels in the same way as before. EPLAN utilizes 3D data of components used at the electrical design stage to create circuit diagrams. Once the circuit diagram is completed, not only is a list of necessary components compiled, but layout design of the control panel can also be performed using the 3D data. Before manufacturing the control panel, detailed information can be checked, such as whether all components will fit, if the size is too large, whether there are any interferences, and what the required cable lengths are.
