Autocad Electrical Project
Creating drawing template in Autocad Electrical | Khurram Waris | easybodge
Creating drawing template in Autocad Electrical is amongst the first step that needs to be completed for any autocad project. Autocad Electrical isn't the type of software that we can just jump into and start using without some guidance. It is a data manager running inside of...
Verification and validation testing of aerospace components, notably pumps, valves, engines, is essential to ensure safe flight. Adequate testing requires exact replication of actual geometrical representation of component position within an aircraft. Further, it is quintessential to simulate environmental conditions surrounding aircraft during the flight. If the component is not subjected under real application conditions during testing...

Autocad import of dwg drawings
One of my client recently handed me over set of electrical drawings in dwg format and requested control panel upgrade with bigger cabinet and more components. My first task was obviously to be able to open all dwg in Autocad Electrical. Original dwg were drawn in a different drawing tool so I...
Autocad and Autocad Electrical
Many people get confused by the fact that AutoCAD "Electrical" has the standard AutoCAD commands available as well. It is not wise to assume that standard AutoCAD commands will produce results that "Electrical" can interpret. Electrical must maintain control of the drafting engine so Electrical can manage the databases that run in the background. Since Electrical...

Operation of safety relay
The typical design of a safety relay is based on the classic 3 contactor combination. The design ensures that wiring errors do not lead to the loss of the safety function. Two relays (K1, K2) with positive-guided contacts - set of NO and NC contacts that operate together so NO and NC...

Filling Machines and Production Line
Advanced production line in most industries involve many different processes. For instance, yogurt filling machines involves feeding pot material from a coil into a press machine mounted with die. Finished part out of the press and die is empty pots ready for the next stage. Next stage might involve wrapping pots with...
Designing Control Panel
Control Panel Components
Any industrial control panel is built with many components just like an electronic circuit board. There are modules for power conversion and distribution, there are energy dissipation and storage modules, switching components at many kHZ, safety modules to protect users as well as electronic components, lots of wires, nuts and bolts, list goes on. We...
Machine Safety Integrity Level SIL
A quick google search tells us that Sil level is about probability of failure but what does it mean in terms of process engineering? I have written this brief article focusing on how expression SIL and IEC 61508 applies to our field of work.
What is SIS
If an instrument is SIS rated i.e. Safety Instrumented System,...
Control Panel - Die cast aluminium enclosures
For many compact junction box type control panel applications where I require to house electronic or pneumatic components, I tend to choose die-cast aluminium enclosures.
"Die-cast aluminium is a high resilience material that provides robust, safe and reliable encapsulation to design components and available upto ip66 nema 4 rating, Khurram Waris said"
Pre Procurement
Many die-cast...
