Built in our workshop · since 1996
Control panels built exactly as drawn.
Wired and labeled in our own workshop, tested with their software before they ship.

-
The panel
Open the panel.
Two sections side by side: power on the left, control on the right. Let’s go in.
-
Protection · QF13 · QU4
Every component has its tag.
Protection devices along the top, each with its yellow label: the same tag you find on the schematic.
-
Safety · inputs and outputs
Control gets its own section.
Safety relays and input/output modules, kept apart from the power side.
Top-tier components, mostly already in stock.
-
Wire markers
Every wire carries its name.
The marker sits on the conductor and the wires run in ducts: you find a connection without tracing it by hand.
-
Terminal blocks · ground bar
Terminals in a row, ground on copper.
At the bottom, the terminal blocks for the connections to the machine and the copper bar for grounding.
-
Ventilation
Heat gets designed too.
A fan on one door, a grille on the other.
On one of our projects: 76.68 °C unventilated, 36.38 °C with the designed ventilation.
-
Before it ships
Then, three tests.
None of this leaves the workshop until it has passed them.
The three tests
Before it ships
It leaves the workshop only after three tests.
All done here, before shipping. And the panel ships with its CEI EN 61439 declaration of conformity.
-
Test 01
Insulation
Insulation testing of the circuits, before power is applied.
-
Test 02
Continuity
With a certified tester: the panel’s continuity and connections.
-
Test 03
Functional test
The panel powers up and runs with its own software, right here in-house.
-
Then
On-site testing.
Where the panel will run, the tests planned for that plant come next.
Testing and start-up
Our work
Real panels, on the job.
In the workshop, line-side and machine-side. All built by us.
-
D&D workshop
Two-section cabinet
Power with the two drives on the left, control on the right.
-
Tube line
The panel, open in the workshop
Drives and protection, with the cables ready to connect.
The project -
Tube line
On the line
The panel next to the line’s reels.
The project -
Operator station
Control console
Operator panel, selectors and push buttons, with the emergency stop and the stack light.
-
D&D workshop
Cabinet, doors open
Drive, protection and modules on the backplate, ventilation on the doors.
-
Fiber-optic towers
Machine-side pushbutton station
Operator panel, controls and indicators.
The project -
Yours is next.
Tell us about the machine: we’ll tell you how we’d build its panel.

In the field · Ulisse vessel
At sea, no going back to the shop.
- The system
- Marine cable laying, on board the Ulisse.
- Before commissioning
- Signals, interlocks and sequences verified with functional tests.
- Start-up
- Handled by us, right there on board.
Questions
Before you ask for a quote.
How long does it take to build a panel?
It depends on the components. We keep top-tier material in stock; if the project calls for special components, lead times follow the suppliers’.
Can I ask for specific components or brands?
Yes. With special components, lead times depend on their availability from the suppliers.
Can you build to my schematic?
Yes. You send us the schematic and the BOM, we build the panel to your design and test it in our workshop before it ships. Send your schematic
Does the panel ship with a declaration of conformity?
Yes, always. Every panel ships with its CEI EN 61439 declaration of conformity and its routine verifications, done in our workshop.
Do you build panels for the United States and Canada?
Yes. We design and build them to UL 508A and CSA, ready to be certified. Certification is issued by the local certifying body, in the country where the panel is installed.
The panel is already on the machine and I need help: who do I call?
Call +39 02 97289083 or write to info@dedautomazione.it: you’ll get someone who knows your project.
The first step · where do you start?
Pick your situation. An engineer reads it, and the first reply comes within 1–2 business days.
I have the schematic.
- You send
- The electrical schematic and the bill of materials. If you have them, dimensions and timing too.
- We do
- We build the panel to your schematic: we wire it, label it and test it in our workshop.
- First step
- Send schematic and BOM
I only have a spec.
- You send
- What the machine has to do, the utilities and the space available.
- We do
- We draw the schematic and build the panel. One point of contact, from the first sheet to the last test.
- First step
- Describe the machine How we draw schematics
I need a panel redone.
- You send
- Photos of the panel, the schematics you have and what isn’t working.
- We do
- We work out what to keep and what to replace, then we upgrade the panel or rebuild it.
- First step
- Send photos and schematics Revamping
