System for automated design and manufacture of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) control panels, selects control panel enclosures dynamically as function of rules, components, and equipment to be controlled

摘要

The system (100) has a computer storage medium comprising data relating to control panel enclosures and a set of rules for designing a control panel, and one or more computer processors (111) configured to: receive a selection of two or more components for placement in the enclosures; retrieve information about two or more components from a database; and generate one or more layouts. The enclosures are dynamically selected as a function of one or more of the set of rules, the two or more components, an equipment to be controlled by the control panel and an application of the equipment. The one or more layouts include placement of the two or more components within at least one of the control panel enclosures as a function of the set of rules for designing a control panel. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for automated design and manufacture of HVAC control panels; and (2) a computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor executes the method for automated design and manufacture of HVAC control panels.
