ACS
These are our panel assemblies designed to optimally control all types of technological applications in industrial facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions – ACS (Automation Control Systems)
What is an ACS automation control panel?
ACS (Automation Control Systems) refers to panel assemblies that centrally control machinery and processes in industrial facilities. Designed by GVD, ACS panels ensure the automatic and safe operation of the facility by integrating PLCs, control cards, converters, and control relays into a single unit.
What equipment is located inside the ACS panel?
An ACS panel typically houses a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), I/O cards, frequency converters, control and timing relays, power supplies, signal conditioners, and an HMI (operator panel). Equipment selection is determined by GVD engineers based on the facility’s process requirements.
What is the difference between an ACS panel and an MCC panel?
It features high-security switching systems; switching up to 630A can be performed via control contacts, even in the event of a short circuit.
In which sectors are ACS automation panels used?
ACS panels are used in all industrial facilities requiring process control—such as energy, water and wastewater treatment, food, chemicals, cement, mining, automotive, and textiles. GVD develops solutions tailored to specific sectors and process types.
According to which standards are GVD ACS panels manufactured?
GVD automation panels are designed and manufactured based on the IEC 61439 low-voltage switchgear standard and relevant CE requirements. Depending on requirements, various protection classes (IP54, IP65, etc.) and enclosure options suitable for environmental conditions are offered.
Which PLC brands can be used for the ACS panel?
GVD can work with PLC and drive products from leading brands such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Rockwell (Allen-Bradley), Omron, and Mitsubishi. The choice of brand is determined by the customer’s existing infrastructure and preferences.
Can ACS panels be connected to remote monitoring and SCADA systems?
Yes. ACS panels can be integrated into SCADA, DCS, and remote monitoring systems via industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, Profinet, Profibus, and EtherNet/IP. This enables real-time monitoring of plant data.
What services are offered in GVD ACS projects?
GVD offers turnkey services comprising needs analysis, electrical and automation design, panel manufacturing, PLC programming and HMI/SCADA development, field installation, commissioning, and after-sales maintenance and support.
What is the lead time for the ACS panel?
The delivery time varies depending on the panel’s capacity, equipment availability, and the scope of the software. For standard projects, the typical timeframe is a few weeks; the exact duration is determined during the proposal stage.
What determines the prices of ACS automation panels?
The price varies based on the I/O count, PLC and drive brands, cabinet type, software scope, and commissioning services. GVD provides a firm quote following a site assessment tailored to your facility.
