Create the controls package for a test cell

Define the electrical architecture and operating sequence for a compact, 24-signal assembly test cell.

Currentpath Workshop

Stockholm, Sweden On-site

This is an example brief. Its company, dates, budget, assignment and progress illustrate a project; they do not represent available or commissioned work. Proposals cannot be submitted.

The brief

The work and the intended result

The mechanical concept for our bench test cell is ready for an electrical design pass. We need a concept package covering 16 digital inputs, six digital outputs and two analogue inputs, with up to 12 schematic sheets. The brief includes one workshop visit and two coordinated reviews. Panel manufacture, PLC coding, machine-safety validation and commissioning are separate phases. The handover must identify every interface that still needs a decision.

What you’ll deliver

  • An operating-state diagram covering startup, test, reset and fault recovery
  • Up to 12 EPLAN concept sheets and PDF exports
  • A 24-signal I/O schedule, component shortlist and cabinet-space estimate
  • An interface register and a proposed commissioning checklist for the next phase

Expertise needed

  • Electrical documentation experience for compact automation equipment
  • Comfortable coordinating sensor and actuator choices with a mechanical engineer
  • Able to attend a half-day design session in Stockholm
  • Electrical design
  • EPLAN
  • PLC programming
  • Automation

A running start

What’s already in place

  • Mechanical layout, sensor positions and a draft six-step test sequence
  • Component preferences and the available electrical supply
  • Existing control conventions and a named engineering contact

Project milestones

To shape together
  1. 01

    Freeze the signal list

    Review the 24 proposed signals on site and agree the operating states and open interfaces.

  2. 02

    Draft the electrical package

    Prepare the schematics and component shortlist for a joint mechanical and electrical review.

  3. 03

    Complete the concept handover

    Reconcile signal identifiers across all files and close one consolidated round of comments.

To agree before starting

A shared definition of done

Confirm the deliverables, review checks and response window together so everyone knows what a successful handover looks like.

Suggested acceptance criteria

  • Every agreed deliverable is included in the handover, in the agreed file formats.
  • Assumptions, limitations and open questions are documented alongside the work.
  • The project owner reviews the work against the brief and returns one consolidated feedback list before approval.

When the scope changes

Record the requested change, its reason and its effect on deliverables, budget and timing. Both parties agree the revised scope in writing before the additional work begins.
