- Place disconnect, CB1 (line 10), CB6 (line 8), and power supply (line 20) on the top row.
- Keep 120VAC components low in the panel and away from analog inputs.
- Bottom area preference: line 16 PDB, line 1 relay module, line 12 + line 24 contactor/overload group, line 14 red terminals.
- Keep PLC slice components grouped (except line 1), top row preferred, second row acceptable.
- Place line 15 terminal blocks near PLC for DI/AI wiring from right side entry.
- Use 35mm DIN rail layout with duct around outside and between rails; 1x2" duct is sufficient.
- Maintain ~2 inch clearance above and below terminal blocks to nearest duct where feasible.
Step 1
Upload your BOM and layout instructions
Upload the BOM for your control panel and tell us any non-negotiable requirements (wire entry side, terminal location, separation between power/control, etc.) We map your part numbers to mounting requirements and generate a standard layout.
Best fit: small machine field panels Remote I/O, marshaling/terminal panels, and small auxiliary panels—primarily DIN-rail mounted, with plate-mount holes when needed.
Step 2
Review and approve your layout
We send a mounting plate layout preview for approval. If needed, request changes (“leave room for a second PSU,” “move these terminals to the second row,”) and we'll update it to match your conventions.
No need to track down data sheets. Our software handles the hard parts—placing components, maintaining clearances, and ensuring manufacturability.
Step 3
Receive your layout packet
Once you approve the layout, we deliver a complete layout packet with everything your tech needs to hit the bench running.
- Dimensioned layout drawing
- DIN rail and wire duct cut list
- DXF file for just-in-case edits
- BOM with matched data sheets for quick look ups
- Optional hole modeling for CNC drilling
- Clearance notes and BOM review findings
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Panel Kit do?
Panel Kit turns your control panel BOM into a complete build packet: a dimensioned layout drawing, DIN rail and wire duct cut list, DXF file, BOM with matched data sheets, and clearance notes. You don't need to track down data sheets or make CAD drawings—just upload your BOM.
What's in the build packet?
Every build packet includes: (1) a dimensioned 2D layout drawing (decimal and fractional inches) for rail, duct, and plate mount components; (2) a DIN rail and wire duct cut list; (3) a DXF file you can import into CAD or send directly to a drill/CNC; (4) your BOM with matched manufacturer data sheets; and (5) notes and findings—clearance notes, BOM completeness review, and any flagged issues.
What are the benefits of Panel Kit?
Engineers are most valuable when making design decisions, and technicians when building. Panel Kit handles the step between the BOM and the bench—the layout. For a typical field panel, the service saves 4–6 hours of engineer time on work that isn't design: pulling data sheets, calculating clearances, and creating drawings.
What panels are the best fit?
Best fit are small machine field panels: Remote I/O, marshaling/terminal panels, and small auxiliary panels—primarily DIN-rail mounted, with plate-mount holes when needed. Feel free to contact us if you have another use case.
Do I need a CAD file?
No, no CAD file required. All we need is a BOM (CSV/Excel) and any layout preferences or special instructions. Our layouts follow typical conventions and best practices by default. You only need to specify special cases—not where every component goes.
What exactly do I upload?
Upload your BOM and any non-negotiable layout preferences (wire entry side, terminal location, separation between power/control, etc.). Our layouts follow typical conventions and best practices by default. You don't need to specify where every component goes—only special cases.
What does the review cycle look like?
We send a free watermarked preview layout so you can see exactly what you're getting before you pay. Request changes (e.g. 'leave room for a second PSU' or 'move these terminals to the second row') and we'll update it. You only pay after you approve.
What if I don't like the preview?
The preview is free—if the layout doesn't work for you, you don't pay. We offer one preview per BOM. If you need adjustments, tell us what to change and we'll update the layout before you approve.
Is Panel Kit a panel design service?
No. We handle layout and build documentation only. We take your finalized BOM and produce the mounting geometry and documentation your tech needs at the bench. We don't replace your engineering workflow—we complement it.
Will this block my build schedule?
Typically, no. As soon as your panel BOM is final, send it over. We run in parallel while you keep building. You review the free preview, approve, and receive your build packet—usually within a few business days.
