The control cabinet that comes with the complete set of equipment, the kind in which electrical components and instruments are integrated together – should it be placed in the cabinet room or in the power distribution room? Are there any relevant regulatory requirements?
If the control cabinet of the complete set of equipment involves electrical and instrumentation control, it is recommended to place it in the power distribution room. This makes centralized management and maintenance easier. **It is generally recommended by standards to place control systems and electrical equipment in dedicated electrical rooms to ensure safety and functionality. However, the specific decision also needs to be made by referring to the equipment’s instructions and the actual conditions on site. .
Since it is a complete set of equipment, it must be placed on the workshop floor along with the equipment.
My personal opinion: if there are frequency converters, contactors, etc., they should be placed in the power distribution room. If it is only the PLC and input/output module relay terminal blocks, they should be placed in the control room.
Generally, the control cabinet that comes with a complete set of equipment is placed next to the equipment. If there are many controls involved, cables are run from the control room to the cabinets (which is costly), or the DCS system is integrated into the design from the start.
If the complete set of equipment belongs to Workshop A, then it can’t be placed next to the equipment, right?
