AutoCAD Electrical then automatically creates drawings, complete with ladders, per the drawing configuration, I/O modules, addresses and description text, and component and terminal symbols connected to each I/O point.

Generate PLC I/O Drawings from SpreadsheetsĪutoCAD Electrical enables you to generate a comprehensive set of PLC I/O drawings by simply defining a project’s I/O assignments in a spreadsheet.

Any changes to the electrical schematic or panel representation will update the other non-schematic items, such as wire ducts. Choose the panel location and a physical representation of each device to be inserted into the layout, and a link is automatically created between the device and its representation. AutoCAD Electrical sets up parent/child relationships between coils and contacts, keeping track of how many contacts are assigned to any coil or multicontact device, and alerting you when you exceed the limit.Įxtract a list of electrical schematic components for placement into panel layout drawings. Reduce the risk of assigning too many contacts to any relay, and minimize time spent manually tracking assignments. Real-Time Coil & Contact Cross-Referencing AutoCAD Electrical monitors and alerts users to potential design errors as they occur by constantly comparing the requested changes with the current project. Automatically generate reports that cover bills of materials (BOM), from/to wire lists, PLC I/O, terminal plans, cable summaries, and cross-referencing reports.Īvoid costly errors before the build phase begins by catching and removing errors during the design process. Plus, you can run multiple reports with a single command. Report generation in AutoCAD Electrical is simple and customizable. If no clear spot is available, AutoCAD Electrical searches for a clear spot and automatically draws a leader back to the wire. AutoCAD Electrical automatically places sequential or reference-based numbers on all wires and components based on the chosen configuration. Specialized features enable you to trim wire, copy and delete components or circuits, and scoot and align components, making it much easier to create electrical drawings quickly.Īutomatic Wire Numbering & Component TaggingĪutomatically assign unique wire numbers and component tags in your electrical drawings, reducing the time you spend tracking design changes and reducing the resultant errors.
