control engineering

Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Switchgear Manufacture are not merely buzzwords at GTech Automatisierungstechnik GmbH, but rather they represent the oldest disciplines since the company was founded. Project planning and design of up-to-date control concepts for our Special Machinery and Plant Engineering divisions are characterized by constantly evolving technology and state-of-the art components.

Electrical Planning:
The Electrical Engineer discusses project engineering in order to design appropriate control concepts. He determines control components, drive technology, sensor system and actuating elements in cooperation with the Mechanical Design department. Subsequent electrical planning and documentation is performed using EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN 5.7, permanently taking potential customer requirements, statutory regulations and standards into account.

Switchgear Manufacturing:
When it comes to Switchgear Manufacturing, “outsourcing” is also not an issue for us. Although this is certainly not an advantage in terms of economic efficiency, we consider it more important to monitor the progress of our tasks ourselves. This is why we decided on integrated in-house processing, which enables us to provide optimum flexibility and promptness when it comes to adaptations or additions during the implementation phase.

Safety Engineering:
From straightforward safety switching devices down to complex safety control systems, we provide all levels of state-of-the-art risk prevention again to ensure optimum flexibility in the design of our plants.

Tasks of Control Engineering in Mechanical and Plant Engineering:
• Elaboration of control concepts in Special Machinery and Plant Engineering in cooperation with the project team.
• Creation of electronic wiring diagrams, taking applicable standards and regulations into account, and of the tender and
  performance specifications, using EPLAN P8 und EPLAN 5.7.
• Selecting electro- and safety-technical components - taking tender and performance specifications into account - and
  company-internal requirements regarding standardization.
• Cost-conscious planning in the scope of the statutory tender and performance specifications.
  (aiming at an optimum cost/benefit ratio!)
• Creating safety concepts – taking applicable standards and regulations into account – and cooperation in issues of
  safety technology while the project is still in the design phase.
