Zuken E3.series 2016 version 17 E3.series: Electrical Wiring, Control systems and Fluid Engineering Software E3.series is a Windows-based, scalable, easy-to-learn system for the design of wiring and control systems, hydraulics and pneumatics. The out-of-the-box solution includes schematic (for circuit and fluid diagrams), cable (for advanced electrical and fluid design), panel (for cabinet and panel layout), and formboard (for 1:1 wiring harness manufacturing drawings). Integrated with MCAD, E3.series is a complete design engineering solution from concept through physical realization and manufacturing output. Electrical Schematic Design E3.schematic for Designing and Documenting Electrical Control System Schematics +E3.series schematic E3.schematic is core to all E3.series modules and provides electrical engineers with an easy-to-use solution for designing and documenting electrical control systems including schematic diagrams, terminal plans and PLC’s. Its object oriented architecture provides an integrated and consistent design approach to help eliminate errors, improve quality and reduce design time. E3.series’ ECAD engine, designed by electrical engineers for electrical engineers, includes built in real-time design rule checks that prevent errors rather than finding them later and its intelligent component based parts library ensures only real parts are used and helps drive the design with automatic part selections. +E3.series schematic E3.schematic base functionality includes: Device duplication prevention Short circuit prevention Design reuse with centrally stored sub-circuits Automatic and parallel connections Save, load, copy, rotate and mirror drawings and areas Extensive functionality for exchanging symbols and components. Component driven intelligent parts libraries Ensure only valid parts are used in the design Simple and complex variants and option management Online cross-references for connections and devices Object and text hyperlinks User-defined attributes User-defined grid sizes, fonts and line types Dynamic zooming and panning E3.schematic manages all design data including affiliated documents, such as bill of materials and connection lists or assembly instructions and datasheets. Its object oriented data structure ensures manufacturing instructions always match the design data. Standard I/O Format Standard interfaces make it possible to import and export multiple data formats: DXF/DWG TIFF, GIF, JPG PDF SVG DGN CGM VRML STEP AP203/214 STEP AP212/KBL and STEP AP212/ELOG E3.series accepts data from other ECAD systems and is easy to integrate into your existing design environment, with PDM, ERP or 3D M-CAD systems. Terminal Configurations Wago SmartDesignerMany suppliers of electrical components offer additional software tools, from electronic component catalogs to terminal configuration programs which are able to build or verify terminal strip configurations. Within E³.series these terminal strips can be ordered and used as pre-assembled parts. Terminal strips used in E³.series are transferred to the terminal configurator where they are verified and processed. Terminal strips completed by the configurator can be back annotated to E³.series, in addition, pre-assembled terminal strips can be used directly within E³.series. PLC Integration E³.series: Manufacturing Process - SCREENSHOTPLC data held in the schematic is read into excel, where changes are applied and fed directly back into E3.series. PLC functions, addressees and location information can be managed centrally and then updated with a simple easy to use interface. In addition the tool checks for duplicate addresses and allows users to export data in the required PLC format. Automatic Wire Numbering E3.series enables you to configure the wire numbers in the project based on circuit functionality and signal classification. The utility is also configurable for a number of additional industries, including machinery, rail and power.
