From technical concept to feasible electrical design
An electrical installation begins with a well-thought-out design. At Gerbin Control, hardware engineering forms the bridge between functional requirements and a technically feasible solution. Our engineers translate client wishes into electrotechnical diagrams, cabinet layouts and drawing packages that comply with applicable standards and are practical in panel construction, cabling and commissioning. This creates a grip on the quality, reproducibility and maintainability of the installation from the very first moment.
Intake and functional specifications
A hardware engineering project begins with gathering and structuring technical prerequisites. Together with the customer, functional requirements, component choices and standards are determined. Think of guidelines such as NEN 1010, NEN-EN-IEC 61439 or the Machinery Directive 60204-1. This phase results in a complete functional overview and clear starting points for design and construction.
Electrical schematics and drawing packages
Based on the intake, electrical schematics are built in EPLAN P8. These include power flow diagrams, terminal lists, cable definitions and cabinet layouts. Where necessary, this is supplemented by 3D visualizations in Pro Panel. Through standardization and library use, we can design efficiently, minimize errors and ensure compatibility with other project phases.
Linkage with panel building and installation
The result of hardware engineering is the direct input for panel building and installation work. Clear coding, clear cable overviews and consistent layouts allow the panel building team to produce efficiently. Even during on-site wiring and commissioning, the design ensures overview, safety and reliability. This makes hardware engineering the key to a structured and reproducible implementation.
