With cadett ELSA Professional, you get everything that is included in cadett ELSA LT, and also full connection handling with internal and external connections, both wires and cables.
cadett ELSA Professional is our best-selling product. It includes intelligent connection handling with automatic wire numbering and optimized wire routing for the shortest path. The dynamic wire editor allows you to easily adjust both wiring sequence and wire numbering. You get full compatibility with cadett ELSA LT, so that circuit diagrams made there can be managed with full access to all available functionality such as automatic wire numbering with automatic insertion of wire numbers, and much more. The number of sheets per project is unlimited. See the comparison list below for detailed information on the differences between the various cadett ELSA products.

Automatic wire numbering. The wiring sequence is automatically optimized so that the wires are routed the shortest way. The wire numbers are inserted in the circuit diagrams automatically. It is easy to adjust the wiring sequence when needed.
Plenty of automation is built into the product, such as automatic OnLine cross-referencing, item designation generation, terminal numbering and generation of intelligent external connection diagrams.
You can edit the automatically generated tables (device lists, wire lists, cable lists, etc.) directly on the screen or with Excel. The entire project is updated automatically, efficiently and dynamically.
Manages the projects in any number of revisions and tracks all changes fully automatically.
Checks that all documents are consistent and helps to correct any discrepancies.
Enables multiple variants in the same project. Parts of a project spread over several sheets can be activated or deactivated as needed.
Full symbol library for all control systems with I/O symbols and PLC mirrors. Automatic transfer of data between them provides all the benefits of both function and location oriented documentation at the same time. Link to Excel.
The built-in article portal from CADENAS allows you to load hundreds of thousands of articles directly into cadett ELSA.
The report generator allows you to easily produce reports in any format such as AutoCAD and Excel. QuickPDF allows you to create multi-page PDF files with hyperlinks for cross-references at lightning speed.
Simplify and speed up the creation of your cabinet layout with the automatic pick list so you can quickly insert the correct components with the correct dimensions.
The table below shows the differences between all the cadett ELSA products, which features are available in each product.
1) The changes in the table are transferred OnLine to the circuit diagram.
cadett ELSA can make a fully automatic numbering of all wires and then enter the wire numbers into the circuit diagram sheets, just as automatically.
The wiring sequence is automatically optimised according to the physical location of the devices in the cabinet.
You can easily adjust the wiring sequence, numbering and other properties such as colors and dimensions, directly from the wiring table if you wish. Changes are automatically reflected in the circuit diagrams.
The connection information can then be exported to Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, Solidworks, and other 3D CAD systems.
cadett ELSA has lots of automation, including automatic cross-referencing, automatic terminal numbering, automatic post designation generation, cable lot numbering and wire numbering.
See the product comparison for more details.
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.

It is easy to produce reports in your preferred formats, such as Excel or AutoCAD.
PDF files are generated quickly and easily. They are searchable, have handy bookmarks and hyperlinks for the cross-references.
