CADprofi Electrical - Single User - 1 Year Rental

Single workstation - 1 year rental - The rental licence expires automatically after one year

CADprofi Electrical assists users with drawing in the fields of electrical engineering, control, regulation, and automation.

The module for the design of electrical, control, sprinkler, regulation, communication, and similar systems contains complete symbol libraries for power, low voltage, and signal installations. This allows both floor plans and electrical schematics to be drawn with ease. Extensive functions to facilitate design support the user when drawing cable ducts, wiring, distribution cabinets, lighting, and similar elements.

CADprofi Electrical is available as a standalone module or as part of the CADprofi Suite, in which all 4 disciplines are offered with a 50% discount.

Main features

• Design of installations for power distribution, control, and automation using variant symbols that allow any device configuration.
• Complete symbol libraries according to national and international standards IEC, NFPA, ISO, DIN, etc. Insertion of symbols with automatic positioning and interruption of lines as well as automatic numbering and labelling.
• Complete libraries of leading manufacturers (Hager, Lovato, Cablofil, Legrand, ETI, etc.).
• Working in architectural floor plans, inserting sockets and switches, arranging lighting fixtures, planning the supply of any number of power consumers as well as light strips.
• Circuit numbering with automatic checking and correction of assigned numbers.
• Predefined potential and power lines and predefined typical schematics for distribution and control cabinets, lighting or socket circuits, motor circuits, and much more.
• Design of IT cabinets with elements of structured cabling.
• Planning for automation technology – including programmable logic controllers (PLC).
• Block diagrams, electrical schematics, and symbols for electrical devices required for the design of a "smart home", e.g. KNX/EIB symbols, control units, alarm panels, neurons, converters, input expanders, USB and HDMI extenders, PoE switches, modems, routers, cameras, sensors, etc.
• Design of various types of low-voltage installations, including alarm, surveillance, IP surveillance, antenna installations, and others.
• Planning of cable routes using practical commands for drawing duct runs, cable ladders, and cable trays with automatic insertion of the corresponding fittings. Cable routes can be drawn automatically along a displayed info line.
• Lighting calculation with DIALux. After the lighting calculation, luminaires can be imported from DIALux. During import, the elements are replaced by corresponding CADprofi blocks and the data (attributes) from DIALux are adopted.
• Design of photovoltaic systems using products and prefabricated solutions from the PV sector by ABB, DHEN, EATON, ETI, Hager, Noark Electric, Lovato Electric, Schneider Electric, SCHRACK Technik, and others.
• Design of projects with busbar installations in 2D and 3D.
• Planning of lightning protection installations.
• Creation of cable part lists and other bills of materials, taking into account the parameters of electrical objects and their assignment to circuits.
• Intuitive design focused on the wishes and needs of planners.
• Free choice of planning unit – metric or imperial.
• Tools for complete description of project details.
• Automatic object numbering.
• Fast product search in the databases.
• Access to product libraries of well-known manufacturers.
• Possibility to expand the content of symbol libraries and parametric object libraries with your own symbols and objects.
• Automatic layer management and ready-made plot style tables allow suitable line colours and thicknesses to be obtained on printouts.
• Creation of user lists with "favourites" (symbols and objects) to tailor work to your own preferences and habits.
• Possibility to create your own translations of program content or commands.
• Intelligent insertion of objects or their connection to other objects using "one-click" technology.
• Intelligent commands allow quick editing of symbols and objects directly in the drawing.
• Creation of any diagrams, logical, functional, and technological block diagrams.
• Automatic bill of materials function with printout or export to PDF, RTF(DOC), XLS, XLM, CSV, HTML, and others.
• Automatic legends for drawn schematics.
• Context-sensitive help with many illustrations and example videos that clearly explain how to use the program.
• Online programme updates.
