Scheme creator and templates   

The Scheme creator templates command  allows user to automatically create power distribution schemes. The work consists of selecting products from the symbol library and placing them in specific positions on the matrix in the dialog window. In this way, you can very easily and quickly define the logical structure of the entire switchgear, focusing only on the selection of products, rather than manually drawing the scheme.

 

Scheme creator and templates window

The Scheme creator and templates dialog box contains:

 Insert/Delete Column - inserts an empty circuit before the specified column of the matrix and allows user to delete the entire column.

 Load data from csv - saves all data from the current diagram to a csv file.

 Save data to csv - loads the diagram from a csv file.

 Copy symbol - activates copy mode. After selecting the command, click on the cell from which the symbol will be copied to subsequent cells. To finish, right-click and select Finish copying.

 Clear all - deletes all information from the current scheme.

Line ‘N’ drawn from the top - Change the way the ‘N’ potential line is drawn.

Divide diagram into sheets - enabling this option will divide the inserted scheme into sheets of the selected size.

Insert with drawing frame - enables/disables drawing a drawing frame.

Sheet size - specifies the size of the sheet on which the diagram will be drawn.

Diagram area - allows user to change the area occupied by the diagram on the sheet.

Number circuits from - the starting value for circuit numbering.

Scroll buttons (<<, </>, >>) - buttons that allow user to scroll the view to the right or left.

 

 

Product selection - after clicking on the selected cell, a list appears in which user should indicate the symbol and then select the desired products from the list.

 

Circuit information - after clicking on the bottom button of the matrix, user can enter the name of the circuit (receiver) and additional parameters, such as: power, current, and type and cross-section of the power cable.

 

 

Project data - general settings

This command allows user to specify the data to be included on the project title page, including: project subject, investor information, comments, description, etc.

 Schematic wizard and Templates                 

 

The Scheme templates  command allows to insert to the project predefined lines potentials and circuit lines, which are used to quickly create schemes.

Predefined lines are adapted to suit both ISO and ANSI standards.

Lines potentials are parametrical, thanks to which it is possible to specify spacing between the scheme lines.

The Scheme templates command contains predefined electrical schemes that can be used to create typical schemes. Direct-on-line start of 3-phase motors, reversing systems, star-delta starting and many more schemes are available.

Each scheme has got components that are initially pre-numbered. User can enable renumbering and specify additional marks.

A special group of schemes are distribution center - circuits. Sets that contain several circuits are available, as well as single lighting or socket circuits. Thanks to this user can instantly create various distribution center schemes. Socket and lighting circuits can be used for other types of circuits - after inserting such a circuit, all that user has to do is to change the description and the receiver symbol.

When inserting distribution centers, tables that are used to specify the name, number and circuit parameters are also inserted. To edit this data, user can use the Edit symbols command or other commands that are used to edit block attributes.
