E3.series - Core Products:
Schematic Design
E3.schematic is at the core of all E3.series deployments, providing a comprehensive solution for electrical system design, including schematic diagrams, terminal plans, and PLC documentation. This central module boosts design accuracy and efficiency with real-time design rule checks and a smart parts library. Its object-oriented architecture ensures that manufacturing instructions remain in sync with design data, simplifying the creation and documentation of complex electrical systems.
Cabinet Design and Layout
E3.panel enables engineers to layout components within control cabinets in both 2D and 3D. The signal logic is inherited from the E3.schematic circuit diagram. Wires can be routed automatically through in the control cabinet by means of an auto-routing function. With special links to the wire processing machines, wires can be automatically stripped, crimped and marked. With these features, E3.panel provides an integrated engineering solution for advanced control cabinet engineering.
Electrical Cable and Harness Design
E3.cable is used to design and document cable plans and cable harness drawings. E3.cable is an extension of E3.schematic to combine individual wires into multicores or cable bundles, add shielding and twisted pair structures to the multicores, and automatically display them in the schematic. Complete systems and subsystems such as control units, rack equipment, or even black boxes can be replicated as functional blocks in a hierarchical design.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics
E3.fluid is the solution for designing and documenting all fluid systems. It is a complete, easy-to-use solution with core functionality optimized for developing hydraulic, pneumatic, cooling, and lubrication systems.
Development of standalone fluid schematics or combined with electrical schematics to provide a mixed fluid and electrical design is available.
E3.RoutingBridge enhances collaboration between electrical and mechanical design teams. It integrates electrical harness data with MCAD systems for accurate 3D routing and provides feedback to E3.series for final manufacturing details, ensuring synchronized designs whilst improving accuracy and efficiency in product development.
