General introduction to PCSCHEMATIC Automation

This free webinar gives you a general introduction on what electrical documentation contains and how to create it by using our software PCSCHEMATIC Automation:

• What type of information does a project contain?
• Learn how to draw electrical diagrams using the component database. This enables you to generate all types of lists, which are filled out with article data automatically. For instance components lists or parts lists / BOM.
• Learn the basics of making the General Arrangement / Mechanical Layout
• Learn how to easily create your own components in the database using the Component Wizard.

Questions are very welcome.

Introduction to PCSCHEMATIC Component Database – How to make your own components for PCSCHEMATIC

This free webinar gives you a thorough introduction on how to get your own components into your (companny’s) database. You can either fetch components from our Component Portal (subscription) and/or you can create components by using the built-in Component Wizard.

• Get introduced to how the PCSCHEMATIC Database interacts with PCSCHEMATIC Automation.
• Learn how to make components with electrical and mechanical symbols. Components can be e.g. lamps, contactors, cables, PLCs etc.
• Add different kinds of accessories to the components.
• Attach datasheets, photos etc. to the components.

Questions are very welcome.

General introduction to working with PLCs in PCSCHEMATIC Automation

This free webinar gives you a general introduction on how to work with PLCs in PCSCHEMATIC Automation. When you document functions and connections to PLCs – Programmable Logical Controllers – you want to show an overview of the components and you want to be able to import a lot of information into the symbols in the diagrams. This webinar shows you how to.

• Learn how to draw electrical diagrams using the special symbols.
• Learn how to use PLCs from the database
• Learn how to import and export IO data to and from the documentation.

Questions are very welcome.

PCSCHEMATIC Automation – How to work with and Reference Designations

Did you ever wonder what the characters = + and – are used for in the projects?

You can learn about this in this free webinar and get a thorough introduction on how to use reference designations in PC|Automation.Basically, you use reference designations – RDS – to structure your project according to Function (=), Location (+) and Products (-). During the webinar, you will see how to use the built-in function for using the RDS according to the ISO/IEC 81346 standard:

• What are the basic rules – the ‘why’ and ‘how-to’
• Why: to make it easier for all disciplines to work together on the same project
• How-to: display and read the designations
• Create your own structure
• Import a structure
• Use the RDS to make projects faster!

Questions are very welcome.

How to make templates for PCSCHEMATIC Automation

This webinar will take you around what you need to know about creating your own templates for PCSCHEMATIC Automation. Start by creating your own drawing headers or title blocks:

• Design the title block, but remember the rules: some data should be there always
• Design it with water marks to make it easy to show page status

Design your own lists headers

• Parts & component lists, connection type lists, graphical plans

Finally, you can create your own page and project templates:

• Ready-to-use diagram pages
• Ready-to-use lists of various kinds
• Project templates with ‘all’ pages

Questions are very Welcome

PCSCHEAMTIC Automation – Marking and labeling of wires, cables and components

We always get a lot of questions about the rules and regulations for marking of – particularly – wires, but also cables and components are marked, the questions are Why? and How?This webinar will take you through the Whys and the Hows of wire, cable and component marking.You will be guided through what you need to do in your projects and how to easily create lists for label printers for different types of labels. The idea is, that if your project is made according to those few rules, you can ‘click a button’ and create ready-use lists for label printers.

Questions are very welcome.

PCSCHEAMTIC Automation and the Mounting Assistant

This free webinar gives you a thorough introduction on how to use the built-in tool called Mounting Assistant. The tool is part of the normal PC|Automatiom program as well as of the PC|Automation Service. The Mounting Assistant is a tool, that can help you when you produce the panel:

• start by placing and checking the components on the mounting plate
• get a list of all wires and check when they are installed
• have full documentation of when and who installed the parts
• get overview over how much is left
• multi-user function

Questions are very welcome.

PCSCHEAMTIC Panelrouter – Creating wire lists ready for manufacturing

This free webinar gives you a thorough introduction on how to use the built-in tool called Panelrouter. Panelrouter is a tool, that can help you generate ready-to-use data for a full set of wiring for your panel. During this webinar, you will learn about the options, settings and rules that are necessary to generate the data.

Questions are very welcome.
