Electrical Design and Automation

Whereas the task of automation defines the plant's "logic" and therefore its dynamic behavior, electrical design is responsible for designing the automation technology's hardware. The latter also has to supply power to the entire plant and its consumers. The two areas have their own specific requirements, workflows and types of documentation, but ideally the information from both disciplines should be used in tandem throughout the engineering process.

Every data silo, every interface and every data transfer is a potential source of error and costs time. The solution is Engineering Base. This platform paves the way for exceptionally efficient collaboration thanks to its powerful, universal data model that brings together process, electrical and automation data in an overarching digital twin.

Hardware design and documentation
The basis control concept created in the P&ID, for example, indicates the number of input/output channels required to the engineers. At the same time, the consumer lists provide the parameters for power distribution and its control. Here once again, standardized templates make it possible to plan complete control cabinets. Besides amalgamating all engineering results, Engineering Base also generates the entire plant documentation in accordance with the applicable IEC, ISA and ISO standards, complete with automatic change detection and version control.
Software design
The automation system's logic can be designed separately from the hardware in Engineering Base. This is where the control requirements of the P&IDs are implemented and further safety mechanisms are created. Any alarms and signals that are required can be specified directly in greater detail and can also continue to be refined and used in the subsequent workflows. The signal and alarm lists in Engineering Base are kept constantly updated and serve as the basis for both the software reports and the cause-and-effect matrices for the commissioning phase.
Seamless integration
The hardware and software design process speeds up configuration and programming of the automation systems. Data is generated in neutral formats that allow it to be transferred to manufacturer-specific destination systems using widely used digital data exchange formats, such as Excel or AutomationML. This will ideally allow a completely predefined and tested module to be planned, built and implemented with minimal effort.
