We call it Dynamic OnLine. It provides direct access to device lists, connection tables, terminal tables and cable tables. You can edit the content directly on the screen. Circuit diagram sheets and other documents in the project are updated with your changes at lightning speed, fully automatically.
If you wish, you can start your design work with the cabinet layout. When it is time for the circuit diagram, you will then automatically receive a pick list with everything to be inserted into the circuit diagram. Or you can do the opposite. You can start with the circuit diagram and from that get a pick list for the cabinet layout. A third option is to work in parallel. You have complete freedom to do what you want with an automatic consistency check that compares the different document types with each other and both tells you what is different and helps you to fill in what is missing.
There are functions to convert a 2D cabinet layout into 3D, allowing for a simple collision check. Is there room for everything, in all directions? The physical sizes in all three dimensions are available in the cadett ELSA article database.
The connection management takes into account how the devices are positioned in the cabinet layout to optimize the connection order, so that the wires are routed the shortest way.
The connection table can be easily exported, for example to Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, Solidworks or other 3D CAD systems.
A cooperation agreement between cadett and CADENAS gives all users of cadett ELSA access to a built-in portal with hundreds of thousands of articles. This makes it easy to search for the right article and then retrieve metadata and symbols for both 2D and 3D layouts and circuit diagrams. Everything is based on the eClass standard, which in turn is based on ISO3584 and IEC1360.
