Control cabinet solutions for industry and automation
Our control cabinets and controls are developed and manufactured for a wide range of applications. These include machine controls, power distribution, infrastructure projects, railway applications, tunnel installations, test rigs and industrial automation installations.
During project planning, we already consider ease of maintenance, expandability, EMC requirements, lightning protection, surge protection and the long-term availability of components. This creates durable, reliable solutions for demanding applications.
Safety and standards compliance
Safety and reliability are central to every installation. Our solutions are developed, tested and documented with the relevant standards and safety requirements in mind. We support customers in areas including:
- EN 61439 low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies
- Machinery directives and safety concepts
- Performance Level (PL) and SISTEMA calculations
- SIL assessments and risk analyses
- EMC and protection concepts
- Lightning and surge-protection systems
- Enclosure climate control and protection ratings
- Electrical safety and protective measures
PLC, HMI and automation
Alongside control cabinet manufacturing, Datalink develops complete automation solutions including PLC programming, visualisation and commissioning.
