Electrical panel design and machine wiring diagrams
In EPLAN Electric P8 and SPAC, to your standards or from scratch.
We design industrial and automation control panels, machine wiring diagrams and technical documentation in EPLAN Electric P8 and SPAC. We work to your standards and libraries or start from scratch, and the same engineering team follows panel building and on-machine wiring.
What we do
- Automation and low-voltage control panels for machines and plants.
- Wiring diagrams for machines, plants and on-machine installations in EPLAN Electric P8 and SPAC, to the customer's libraries and standards.
- Electrical panel layout and component sizing.
- Bills of materials and cable lists linked to the schematic.
- Technical documentation: technical file, as-built schematics, revision management.
- Updates to existing schematics: revamping, component changes, conversion between software packages.
- Design of UL/CSA control panels for the USA and Canada, to UL 508A and CSA C22.2, with listed components.
Working inside your process
We work on the customer's EPLAN or SPAC projects, with their libraries, their parts and their macros, so the files remain fully usable by their own engineering office. The service can cover a single order, a workload peak or an ongoing collaboration: in every case the customer remains the owner of the projects and the standards.
Design and build under one roof
The same engineering office that draws the schematic follows the panel build and the machine-side wiring. Changes arising during the build or in the field go back into the schematic without passing through third parties, and the as-built reflects the machine as delivered.
How it works
- 01 Assessment — functional specification of the machine, customer standards, regulatory and market constraints.
- 02 Design — development of schematics, layouts and bills of materials, with shared revisions.
- 03 Release — documentation for the build and, if requested, the start of the build at VF.
- 04 As-built — final update after testing and commissioning.
Where
Engineering office in San Vendemiano (TV) and Romans d'Isonzo (GO). We work with machine builders across northern Italy; design work does not require a presence on site.

Frequently asked questions about electrical design
EPLAN Electric P8 and SPAC. We can work directly on the customer's projects and libraries, or develop from scratch.
Yes. Design is a standalone service; panel building and wiring are options, not a condition.
Yes. Updates for revamping, replacement of obsolete components, conversion between software packages and alignment with the customer's current standards.
The customer. Projects are developed on their libraries and delivered in native format, ready for use by their own engineering office.
Yes, with listed components and the schematic conventions required by UL 508A and CSA C22.2. The full service is described on its own page.
Every change arising during the build or in the field goes back into the schematic as a tracked revision, through to the final as-built delivered after testing.
It depends on the number of loads and I/O, the complexity of safety functions, the standards of the target market and the documentation required. Send us a machine description or the existing diagram and we'll prepare a detailed quote within 2 business days.
Yes. EN 60204-1 is the reference standard for the electrical equipment of machines and we apply it throughout, from analysis to as-built. For panels shipped to the USA and Canada we work to UL 508A and CSA C22.2.
Have a schematic to develop or update?
Send us the specification or the existing project: we will come back with lead times and a quotation.
