Furthermore, documents for production and mounting such as wiring diagrams, terminal lists, cable overviews, connection lists and labels, can be generated with the standard functionalities of EPLAN Electric P8 without additional effort. With the integration of EPLAN Electric P8 into MNSEngineer the switchgear construction at ABB is experiencing measurable efficiency gains, On the one hand it allows for the automation of project documentation such as general layout diagrams, single-line diagrams, schematics and device lists required for a specific project. This will lead to noticeably reduced project lead times within the foreseeable future. A clear benefit since all ABB production facilities can access special solutions that were developed in an individual branch operation. The ABB database of MNSEngineer, which contains pre-engineered modules and can be used for customer-specific solutions with a minimum amount of labor, also corresponds to the principle of consistency. MNSEngineer guarantees conformity in accordance with IEC 60439-1 and, of course, with all internal standards of ABB production facilities worldwide. What sort of performance can MNSEngineer provide? This tool offers a globally uniform solution for the efficient construction and planning of switchgear systems. ABB’s investment in the development of this equipment design tool has been considerable – both with regard to the length of time spent on development as well as in terms of its complexity, resulting from the many diverse requirements of the worldwide engineering and production facilities. While ABB previously launched an evolution in switchgear technology with the MNS iS, the new chapter in the success story is expected to be written by MNSEngineer. Since the introduction of the system in 1973, ABB has delivered 1.2 million MNS enclosures worldwide.
With its vast number of standardized variants the MNS equipment platform (MNS = Modulare Niederspannungsschaltanlage = Modular Low Voltage Switchgear) forms the basis for ABB’s regional switchgear production in more than 30 countries and covers a power range of up to 6,300 ampere and 690 volt AC.
MNSEngineer links integrated ordering systems, mechanical construction, electrical documentation and company-wide resource planning.
This ABB solution for both the construction and the planning of switchgear systems, to be used uniformly across the globe starting in late 2007, is betting on standardization in many ways. In its new equipment design tool MNSEngineer ABB, the number one global player in automation and power technologies, combines the advantages of two market leading software applications: EPLAN Electric P8 and SAP. This is how the state-of-the-art configuration of switchgear works.
