This information can be further processed in NX Industrial Electrical Design or the SIEMENS Industry Mall. This means that the electrical engineer can digitally describe a load feeder completely according to the standard. Of course, the corresponding accessories are also taken into account. For example, it is possible to design load feeders according to UL or ICE, including cable dimensioning and short-circuit calculation. This simplifies the electrical engineering tremendously.
With the help of the Control Panel Design functionality in TIA Selection Tool, electrical engineers can design and dimension the main electric of a machine according to the standard. This consistent 3D control cabinet layout in NX can be provided to autonomous control cabinet production. This means that the electrical engineer has consistent data all the time and the ability to navigate between the electrical schematic and the cabinet design.
#WHAT IS SIEMENS NX SOFTWARE#
The software tool is based on an integrated data model, 2D electrical schematic symbols and the corresponding representation in the 3D cabinet design are linked accordingly. Digital twin of the control cabinet in NX Industrial Electrical Design Integrated reporting capabilities enable the user to quickly create all the report documents required to produce his designs. It enables the creation of electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic schematics and complete control cabinet layouts. The software tool NX Industrial Electrical Design, part of the Xcelerator ™ portfolio, the comprehensive and integrated software and service portfolio from Siemens Digital Industries Software, offers a complete electrical engineering package for industrial applications. Creation of the digital control cabinet with NX Industrial Electrical Design This makes it possible to set up different mounting plate configurations. The robotic arms perform their autonomous task without being programmed for it.
Based on the comprehensive digital twin, robots are able to automatically place rails and cable ducts on the mounting plate. The runtime for the autonomous system runs on the SIMATIC controller in the control cabinet. The control and simulation of the entire production are cloud-based. The prerequisite for autonomous systems is the interaction of simulation and automation.
The digital twins of the electrical products, as well as the digital twin of the control cabinet itself, are therefore required for autonomous control cabinet production. The basis for autonomous control cabinet production is consistent, precise, process-wide data. Possible erroneous human interventions are eliminated so that employees can concentrate on more meaningful, more creative tasks. Smart, decentralized robots will communicate with and adapt to one another, each assuming a specific role but all geared towards a common goal.
Just as Industry 2.0 electrified factories and Industry 3.0 introduced robotics, completely autonomous processes will be the norm in many areas within a few years – that is the essence of Industry 4.0. Find out, what users need to learn.Īutonomous manufacturing has already arrived in the present. NX Industrial Electrical Design provides the digital twin of the control cabinet and the digital twins of all included electrical products for autonomous control cabinet production.
