• Improved capabilities with strings:Apply project drawings and properties to string sequences as well as tags and string numbers.This setting provides the default string sequence for wire networks with multiple components.

Design of electrical controls

• Real-time coil and reference contact:Reduce the risk of too many contacts assigned to a relay (relay), minimizing the time of tracking this assignment manually.AutoCAD Electrical establishes a parent-child relationship between coils and contacts.It monitors how many contacts are assigned to each coil or multiple contact devices and alerts you if the limit is exceeded.

Warning appears when the limit is exceeded

• Draw PLC I / O from spreadsheets:Define the I / O files of the project in a spreadsheet program to create a comprehensive set of PLC I / O drawings.Automatic creation of drawings according to configurations, complete with ladders, I / O modules, description text, components and terminal symbols connected to each I / O point.These reports export to the PLC program, virtually eliminating the need to create drawings manually.

Draw PLCs from spreadsheets

• Standard libraries:Use component libraries from the most famous vendors in the electrical industry to create standard electrical designs that meet requirements.AutoCAD Electrical includes a database of over 650,000 components and symbols such as switches, buttons, relays and terminals.There is also an extensive library of pneumatic, hydraulic and P&ID equipment.
