The AutoCAD

ecscad Advantage

Take Control

AutoCAD ecscad is AutoCAD sotware or

electrical control engineers, purpose-built or the

planning and documenting o electro-technical

equipment. Automated tasks, extensive electrical

symbol libraries, and powerul database editing

tools help to reduce errors and produce electrical

documentation in a raction o the time and cost.

With fexible database-driven workfows based on

industry standards, AutoCAD ecscad gives con-

trols designers the reedom to choose the design

approach that best suits their unique situation.

With an intuitive and congurable user interace,AutoCAD ecscad is proessional, precise, and in-

novative design sotware that puts you in control.

Gain a competitive advantage with AutoCAD

ecscad, sotware that helps manuacturers react

quickly to market trends, shorten production

cycles, and build better products.

Increase Productivity

Rising costs and increasing time pressures are driv-

ing control engineers to produce electrical designs

aster and more accurately than ever beore. In

order to remain competitive, designers need high

perormance tools to get the job done. AutoCAD

ecscad oers an optimal solution or engineers

in all industries, including plant design, industrial

machinery, automotive, building automation and

power supply. AutoCAD ecscad sotware contains

all the standard unctionality AutoCAD plus a

comprehensive set o eatures created specically

to accelerate the creation and modication oelectrical schematics. With the automatic creation

o documentation rom Excel tables, automatic

generation o graphical terminal plans, and cabinet

layout tools, AutoCAD ecscad greatly reduces the

manual eorts involved in producing highly-accu-

rate electrical documentation, leaving engineers

more time to create innovative new designs.

To succeed in todays global marketplace, control engineers

require a fexible solution that supports the entire electricalcontrol system design and documentation process. AutoCADecscad sotware enables controls designers to quickly createaccurate control system schematics or a broad range o projectsrom simple motor controls to entire production plants.

Facing these issues?

Increasing time and cost pressures

require ast and accurate electrical

documentation.

Global competition demands

compliance with multiple international

standards.

Documentation errors are causing

production delays.

Design software that forces engineers

to change their preerred method o

working.

Designers are unable to easily nd and

reuse designs.

Collaboration among multiple

workgroups is complicated and error-

prone.

Electrical CAD software does not

easily integrate into existing enterprise

processes.

Compete Globally

In addition to supporting the most comprehensive

compliance with European electrical standards,

AutoCAD ecscad gives companies a competitive

advantage in markets worldwide by acilitating

sharing o schematics with the entire global enter-

prise. AutoCAD ecscad not only includes extensive

symbol libraries in the IEC standard, but also

makes it easy or users to incorporate symbols and

components rom third-party libraries. Designers

can quickly switch between languages or even

display up to three languages simultaneously in

the interace. Additionally, AutoCAD ecscad in-cludes multiple oreign language databases in the

industry standard Microsot Access ormat, that

enable easy extraction o data rom schematics or

translation with ull support o Unicode character

sets like Chinese or Russian.

Reduce Errors

Creating electrical controls designs using manual

methods can inadvertently introduce errors and

design inconsistencies. The automatic error-check-

ing capabilities in AutoCAD ecscad help designers

perorm real-time diagnostics to catch logical

control errors. AutoCAD ecscad can also generate

dynamic error lists that enable users to jumpdirectly to the corresponding points in the electri-

cal schematics, making it easy to nd and correct

potential errors. With AutoCAD ecscad, engineers

are able to virtually eliminate errors beore the

build phase o a project.

Manage and Reuse Design Data

The integrated project management in AutoCAD

ecscad allows designers to easily nd and reuse

existing designs or revisions or the creation o

new variations. Users can quickly modiy all text

inormation in a project in a comortable database

interace, and complete projects can be auto-

matically produced through Excel tables with the

simple push o a button. The data rom AutoCAD

ecscad projects can also be easily integrated into

existing enterprise processes and are ully custom-

izable using VBA (Visual Basic or Applications).

In addition, AutoCAD ecscad includes tightlyintegrated project management unctions, which

enable the ecient and secure exchange o design

data and promote earlier collaboration between

design and manuacturing workgroups.

Facilitate Collaboration

As part o the Autodesk solution or Digital

Prototyping, AutoCAD ecscad enables both

electrical and mechanical teams to work col-

laboratively by making it easy to add valuable

electrical controls data to the digital prototypes

created in Autodesk Inventor. AutoCAD ecscad

works in the Autodesk DWG ormat, the most

widely used CAD ormat in the world, acilitatingcollaboration on 2D and 3D designs with globally

distributed design teams, customers, and suppli-

ers. Dierent workgroups can also manage and

track all components o a digital prototype with

the ree Autodesk Design Review sotwarethe

all-digital way to review, measure, mark up, and

track changes to designsenabling better reuse

o critical design data, management o BOMs, and

collaboration with other teams and partners.

Additionally, AutoCAD ecscad works online in

network environments that enable several users to

collaborate on the same project at the same time.
