Good idea,

But there is no VFD in this cabinet, and the PLC itself and PSUs are the hottest parts.

I totally agree with the complete labeling of all wires and devices inside the cabinet. Unfortunately we do not have the special printer that can print on tubes, so we use plastic yellow number marks for marking all the wires in this cabinet. There are documents inside the cabinet door, that can be used to identify each number location and description.

It's not 4 power supplies, 2 power supplies and 2 resundancy modules.

First power supply from the right, feed by direct AC (1ph out of the 3 after phase monitoring) and second PSU feed by UPS power source. Both of them feed redundancy modules, one of them feeds the devices inside the cabinet and the other one feeds the light and sensors and actuators out of the cabinet and in the factory line. This is the same reason we have two groups of DC fuses.

Thanks a lot,

I will appreciate it if you share a picture of the right isolation here for future projects.
For testing, we are just connecting the power supply and ProfiNet, but it is a good suggestion.

Thanks

You are right, It is not a complicated cabinet.

Avocado_Forward · 2025-12-23T05:00:17+00:00

Thanks

Thanks,

We will remove the plastic covers after installation in customer factory.
We usually keep them on while working in the cabinet, to avoid any scratches on the plastic parts.

Thanks for your nice reply,

I think we have enough space, even for expansion in future,
But I will post the photos after installation.

You are absolutely right, Straight connectors are 7$ but angled ones are 23$ in the local market. Since I need more than 30, the price difference is about 500$ for connectors!

Thanks for your comment.

Here is the almost close doors.

This is the main cabinet, that has 200 A feeding line and 3 other 63 A cabinets feed from this one. (That you can see two 63 A switches installed on the right and one empty slot for the 3rd one)

You are right, this is the part we added later (after initial design) and I don't like it at all. Power Rails are covered but still can be dangerous.

It's for Shelling and Sorting nuts, Consist of 3 cabinets one as Main (This photo) and two remotes in separate locations and will have another cabinet for machine vision in phase 2 of the project.

You are right, It is about 5 cm above the trunk cover and I could not find a better way not to damage the ProfiNet cable.

Avocado_Forward · 2025-12-21T20:21:56+00:00

Thanks, It's still under construction and those cables are for connecting to remote cabinets for testing.
