This is one of the best videos Automation Direct has produced! I design industrial controls panels at my job, but dont have any experience building them. This showed me many ways to improve my designs and better processes for manufacturing.

Thank you for the kind words. Never stop learning :)

my Dad ran a panel shop for years and has designed and built lots of control panels. As crazy as it sounds my first job was building these panels under the table. He was so busy at work and needed to build hundreds of this one fairly simple panel. He brought home all the components and we set up a little panel shop in the garage. I was 14 and couldn’t read a diagram, My dad sat down and wrote step by step how to build this entire panel. like all the measurements for the rails, thr wire troughs and the order of the components and then where to run every single wire. It had like 3 rails full of components and then maybe 100 wires. I was amazed he was able to write this all from memory with nothing in-front of him, I told him that and he was like “….. I mean of course I remember it, I designed it” haha I remember thinking he was so badass. I would build them under the table for a couple hundred bucks each and he would take them to work and have his guys check them over. He would come home with feedback “hey, Jim says your running your wires too tight. run them out more”

This is one of the best Control Panel building videos that I have seen. This is exactly what I was looking for.

We are glad you found the video helpful, it was a fun and rewarding project to create.

@MIndPloyer15 Год назад

Great video! This was very easy to follow and understand, not to mention that the effort and quality put into the video is top tier. Hope to see more good videos like these in the future!

@automationdirect Год назад

Thank you for the kind words, we enjoy what we do and strive to provide content that our customers find helpful. This video was a fun project and we learned something new from the ADC engineer who designed and built the panel.

@southerntommygun1353 8 месяцев назад

One of the first rules i try to tell new engineers is to see the panel in 3D. If side subpans are used those corners can be tricky and watch the depth of door mounted components. Also make sure they know if the field conduits are coming in the top or bottom. That can make a big difference in the layout. Consider the electrical "flow" of wiring to separate AC and DC.

Excellent job, already working on the se exact project using automation direct plc and motion controller. Would you be kind enough to share your schematics and design topology in another video

@automationdirect 2 года назад

Thank you. The support documentation (BOM, wiring diagrams, schematics etc.) have been loaded in the descriptions below the chapters. Good luck on your panel project.

@roughtyy7066 Год назад

Really good video 👍🏼 I wish the ones at my work looked as clean and tidy as the one in the video 😂😂 most the labels are missing so you spend half you time finding what where 😬😬

@automationdirect Год назад

Thank you, we hope the video was beneficial. Many of us have experienced panels that were a nightmare :O.

@PabloEscobar-zy5xc Год назад

Self tapping screws can save a lot of time during build, just have to make sure the panduit stays square when you’re putting them in

@automationdirect Год назад

Yes, we have used that method as well. Thank you for watching our video, make sure to check out more of our videos at www.automationdirect.com/videos/home

@hankosky 2 года назад

Great video! What software did you use for the schematics and also what label maker was that for the cable wrap labels?

@automationdirect 2 года назад

@ Matt Hankosky Thank you. The software used for the schematics is Solidworks Electrical. We placed a copy of the support documentation (BOM, schematics etc.) in the description of the video below the chapters. We used the Dymo labeling systems we sell. They can be located here: www.automationdirect.com/labeling

@ashkeef76 2 года назад

Thank you for the video, i was wondering if you could provide the program used for testing. we are using the AMC and productivity 2000 and we have some problems for flying cutoff setup

@automationdirect 2 года назад

Than you for watching the video. A link to the support files can be found in the description of this video. We used the Productivity Suite to test our program and wiring connections to the IO.

Excellent video, thank you. I would like to know where I can get education like online degree as plc technician or automation engineer.

@automationdirect Год назад

JC Hernandez, We are glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. There are many online schools and possibly tech schools that may teach the curriculum you are asking about. We work with Doug Bell at Interconnecting Automation for online training. He had online certificate courses on his website. Reach out to Doug and see if they can assist: interconnectingautomation.com/

@talonosi 2 года назад

Great video, can you tell where I can buy that grounding brush?

@talonosi 2 года назад

Found it on Amazon and McMaster car, just searched for bonding brush

@etrmedia 2 года назад

If you search for "pilot bonding brush", you'll find a lot of results. They should all be good.

@automationdirect 2 года назад

@ Clay, Thank you. Bonding brushes are most common in the aviation industry. Search for "avionics bonding brush" and you should find many online sources.

@rjk7104 Год назад

What deburring tool is used in the video? I'm unable to find anything like it from a quick google search, because all I get are the standard pen-style tools.

@automationdirect Год назад

@rjk, there were two deburring tools in the video, one was on the table which we sell: www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/tools_-a-_test_equipment/hole_cutting_tools/deburring_tools/107006 and the one shown being used. The one being used is referred to as a "dogleg" deburring tool. You can find one like it at an aircraft supply company like this: www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/doglegDeburring.php The one shown at AC Spruce requires a cutter "sold separately".

I finished an industrial automation degree but it's a shame that 99% of me and my classmates pivoted to computer science aka programming like javascript, java, python, linux etc. If you ask me.. industrial applications are the "real deal" of engineering. Most of the my classmates don't even know the difference between AC and DC

@llVIU 3 месяца назад

this is not a tutorial/guide/course. This is just an ad. It's called a POWER SUPPLY not a "rhino pro" power supply.

@automationdirect 3 месяца назад

@llVIU, we mention at the beginning of the video that we want to highlight the products we sell that can help our customers build an excellent industrial automation panel. Rhino pro is one of our power supply series available to our customers to assist them in building the highest quality control panels. In this case the power supply is called a rhino pro power supply so that is the nomenclature we use. As always, we greatly appreciate your comments. 😀
