Today we are at Pro-Control, here in the North of the Netherlands where it's known as the tech valley. There are many companies here working in the tech and industrial manufacturing space.
They have some cool projects going on and we going to give you a tour of some the PLC control panels that they have in their workshop.

[@divyeshtandel7667]

you guys are doing a great great job... you are changing the life of many people by your videos.... really appreciate...

[@realpars]

Thats such a great compliment, Divyesh! Thanks a lot for your support!

[@nadeemahmed4427]

Great video and thanks for giving us a review on control panel 👍... But the audio is not very good , also could you please comment on the platform used for designing the control panel and things to keep in mind. Thanks in advance.

[@realpars]

Thanks for your feedback, Nadeem!

[@ardentdfender4116]

I think we gonna have some major Cosmic Collisions this week, as we are experiencing an anomaly event in which we have hard evidence in detecting 1+ RealPars videos in less than 7 days. A rare anomaly event indeed.

[@MaNemUmar]

I wonder what facility this control panel was assembled for. Would give some further insight into why this exact setup was chosen !

[@realpars]

Hi there, the first one with the BECKHOFF PLC will be installed in a wastewater treatment facility and the second one with S7-400 PLC will control a few reactors.

[@rancescolumbiet6295]

You make good videos I build panels a lot.I work for a company called SIMMTECH PROCESS ENGINEERING im very familiar with your topics.Cool keep going.

[@realpars]

That is amazing, Rances! Thank you!

[@ddtripathi806]

Grids, substations.

[@J_OBODAI]

Can I please know what software was used in designing the panel

[@realpars]

Sure! AutoCAD Electrical is the software that is used for designing these electrical control panels. Let us know if you have any other questions! :)

[@allensims9835]

I can tell you as a service technician, the biggest mistake controls makes is putting to many relays and overcomplicating the process of building a panel. You can have the same protections with less relays and bells and whistles. Sincerly every service tech ever.

😍🤩

[@abusalehAbir]

thanks for the tutorials . Do u guys can make a tutorials about PLC based water pressure control with multiple pump application , Thank you .

[@realpars]

You are very welcome! I will definitely go ahead and forward your topic suggestion to our creator team, thank you! Happy learning!

[@michaelcostello6991]

Good questions you kept asking the engineer so you got good content for the video. Thank you

[@realpars]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing that, Michael!

[@tuananhdoan6013]

I'm an electrical engineer, but my knowledge is very small. Do you have a facebook or another? I can make friend with you? . Thank u so much!

[@realpars]

Thanks for your support! Of course you can, Tuan! This link will direct you to our Facebook Page bit.ly/2XXl8Kc Happy learning!

[@mnada72]

Thanks for the show , it's very good way to demonstrate concepts and deepen understanding

[@realpars]

Happy to hear that!

[@esamesam6312]

Thank you very much for technical information. And I have one question What is the standard location for ventilation fan?? In the bottom or upper of the panel

[@ilyasshaik5369]

Bottom is for fresh air intake & top is for exhaust of light/ Hot air from the panel.

[@scottsommer6480]

Ilyas is correct: bring in fresh air from the bottom (through a filter!) and use the fan to exhaust from the top, in the opposite corner. Dust and dirt will accumulate around the poutside bottom of the panel, so good filter and good filter maintenance plan is crucial. Also, the intake port should be larger than the exhaust port (25-50% larger in area).

[@bitebonumbere1426]

No video subtitles

[@realpars]

Hi Bitebo, Thanks for your comment! If you click on the "CC" symbol on the lower right side of the video - the subtitles will turn on. Happy learning!

[@henkdetank2881]

Nice to see Pro Control as a Dutchie ;D !

[@shk9269]

Onmiskenbaar accent :D

[@pastrie42]

I appreciate the video but it's very difficult to watch with the stuttering video and audio.

[@realpars]

Thanks for your feedback, we truly appreciate that! We'll keep that in mind for our next on-site video course. Thanks again, and happy learning!

[@muhammadosama8308]

One of the Oil company i went to installed AC along with fan coolers in the control panels.Why do we need to cool the panel so much is it because it contains relays or because the PLC requires cooling like a CPU that needs cooling as well?.

[@realpars]

The internal temperature of the panel usually needs to be maintained at or below 80F (27C). The factors which play into internal panel temperature are ambient temperature, heat load from all electrical devices, and air flow through the panel. As you can imagine, a panel outdoors in the summertime can get bombarded with solar energy and the panel temperature can rise dramatically. An indoor panel can get quite warm internally if there are many electrical items that produce heat, like power supplies, VFD's, transformers, etc. A panel designer will know how to calculate heat loads from the information provided and be able to determine the best way to keep the internal panel temperature within acceptable limits.

[@ziadgomaa5246]

why do i need the red stop button why don't i just shut down the whole transformer

[@austinsharpe8157]

define "shut down the whole transformer". You need a red stop button because its usage is universally understood.

[@rahulrai4686]

Could you pls teach ladder logic program in detail....

[@realpars]

Thanks for the topic suggestion, I will definitely go ahead and forward this to our creator team. Happy learning!

[@PencilSketch767]

Very nice video. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@realpars]

Thank you!

[@mahamoudidil8836]

thank you for explanation

[@realpars]

You are welcome, Mahamoud!

[@chriseddisford1834]

Excellent video

[@realpars]

Glad you liked it!

[@Alain0775]

Very similar to what I do everyday at work. Thank you RealPars

[@lanthonyperdum6430]

Alain Jude...Are you a designer or do you install different components in the control panel ???

[@Alain0775]

@@lanthonyperdum6430 I do control panel and PLC programming.
