MCC schedule to Excel.
A motor control center (MCC) schedule is the bucket-by-bucket register of every motor controlled from a given MCC section. One row per bucket carries the motor tag, driven equipment, rated horsepower, voltage, full load amps (FLA), starter type (FVNR / FVR / RVAT / VFD / soft-start / MV starter), starter class, breaker rating, overload setting, control method (local, remote, DCS, PLC, HOA), and the lockout point reference. The MCC schedule is what the MCC builder reads to fabricate the cabinet and what the commissioning electrician reads to verify each bucket on site.
Upload an MCC schedule, an SLD, or an MCC builder's submittal package and extract every bucket position into a structured register. Bucket position, motor tag, HP, voltage, starter class, FLA, breaker rating, overload setting, control method, and lockout reference all read into the columns commissioning and maintenance use.
| Aspect | Builder submittal PDF | Extracted schedule workbook |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket numbering | Builder-specific section / row | Canonical bucket-position column |
| Starter type | Mixed FVNR / VFD / soft-start | Per-row column, builder code preserved |
| FLA + breaker | Tabular block per section | One column each, filterable |
| Overload setting | Margin on starter sheet | Per-row column for commissioning audit |
| Control method | Mixed DCS / PLC / local | Filterable column for hand-off scope |
| Lockout reference | Tag on MCC elevation drawing | Per-row cross-reference |
Fields extracted.

Common questions.
Does this work with the submittal package an MCC builder returns?
Yes. Eaton, Allen-Bradley CENTERLINE, Siemens tiastar, and ABB submittal packages all process. Builder-specific bucket numbering and section notation preserve as drawn; the canonical schedule maps to the bucket-position column shape commissioning uses.
Are VFD buckets handled differently from full-voltage starters?
Yes. VFD buckets carry drive-specific metadata (drive model, drive rating, drive bypass arrangement) into a dedicated VFD column block. Soft-start and reduced-voltage starters carry their own starter-type designation; the schedule does not collapse drive type into a single starter-class column.
Can the commissioning checklist scaffold pre-fill from the MCC schedule?
The commissioning checklist scaffold export carries one row per bucket with the verification points the field walk needs: insulation resistance, phase rotation, control wiring continuity, overload setting, lockout location. Field-verified entries get written back to the workspace by the commissioning lead.
