System and method for motor control center configuration

An MCC configuration method, comprising:

• executing, via a local computing system, a design/configuration tool stored within a cloud/server system, wherein the design/configuration tool comprises a series of interface screen for the design of a configured MCC system;
• soliciting one or more configuration options from a user via the one or more interface screens, wherein at least one of the configuration options is based upon a selection made by the user on the same or a previously presented interface screen;
• selecting, via the local computing system, one or more design libraries stored within the cloud/server system, wherein each design library comprising custom modifications selected by an operator for the design of the configured MCC system;
• and
• storing data in an electronic file within the cloud/server system, wherein the data is representative of the selected configuration options and the selected custom modifications specific to the configured MCC system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions configured to:

• execute, via a first processor of a local computing system, a design/configuration tool stored within a cloud/server system, wherein the design/configuration tool comprises a series of interface screens for the design of a configured MCC system;
• generate, via the first processor, a design file comprising data representative of one or more selected configuration options and one or more selected custom modifications specific to the configured MCC system;
• and
• retrieve, via a second processor of a monitoring/analysis system, the design file from the cloud/server system, wherein the design file is utilized to generate a shipping or a manufacturing information for the configured MCC system.
