You're not going to get any friendly or helpful answers because you question is huge, I mean HUGE. Can you imagine the replies I would get if I went to a building forum and asked:

Pls kindly provide me with necessary information needed to design a house using the following:
Bricks
Timber
Glass
Cement
Sand

Oh and by the way can you tell me how big the house should be.

The proper answer is hire a control panel company to do the job or spend the next year learning about control panels and PLCs.

-Wire
-Prints
-Wire Management system

-Terminals
-Din Rail

Hope this helps to get you started!

Would need to research it...

The thing to remember is that when all else fails...

X = 8

So therein lies the answer to your question...8.

Your welcome.

He's from up'der in Canada'eh...it's different:beer:

That's the conversion of 42 to the metric system. Didn't you know?

Sorry, I thought it was obvious. Thanks for the correction Tom and Paul.

Your request is very general and I think any reasonable person can see how you are setting yourself up to receive a number of sassy replies.

Have you tried doing a forum search? Various specific aspects of control panel design have been discussed in the past.

There are a number of tips in this thread

that you might find helpful.
