E3.schematic is the base module in the E3.series portfolio and provides electrical engineers with an easy-to-use solution for creating and documenting electrical control schematics. Schematic creation Multi-language GUI Multiple drawing standards (e.g. IEC, DIN, ANSI, GOST) Multiple sheet formats (e.g. DIN and Ladder) Automatic text translation Comprehensive search mechanisms Context-sensitive online help 256 display levels Supports STEP, DXF/DWG, SVG and PDF pixel graphics Bidirectional API (COM/DCOM standard) Integrated component database editor Online terminal reports PLC import/export of I/O data Integrated electrical and fluid schematics Automatic contact arrangement tracking Configurable wire numbering Automatic and parallel connections Online design rule checking Variant and option support Online cross-references for connections and devices Configurable hyperlinks E3.cable is an integrated design solution for interconnecting devices and designing cables and harnesses. E3.cable contains all the functionality of E3.schematic. Create block diagrams Automatic mating connectors Automatic connector pin terminals, cavity seals and cross-section checks Inline connectors and splicing Shielded, twisted pairs and cable bundles Table-driven wire assignment Multiple views of cables and connectors Interface data from PCBs Predefined functional assemblies Display special connectors using MIL standard (optional) Option and variant management Hierarchical design System rack design E3.panel enables full documentation of control panels while the built-in design rule checks prevent errors from entering the manufacturing phase. Integrated schematic and panel design Schematic panel navigation Multiple panel sheets Shared panel sheets Automatic snapping placement Clash detection Hazard avoidance 2D and 3D design 3D placement in free space Fluid control panels E3.formboard is fully integrated with E3.cable. Together they provide a complete solution for designing cable harnesses for manufacture. Any-scale harness creation Bundle segment diameters Wire lengths Wire segregation Connection tables Table-driven connections Branch rotation Clips, convolute, heat-shrink Optimized print functions Dynamic links to E3.cable E3.topology takes logical designs into the physical world. Topology sheets created at any scale are added to the overall E3.series project. Sheets can represent chassis or plant layouts and installation spaces such as the dashboard or equipment are added to the sheets. The connections between these installation spaces represent harness routes or cable runs. Alternate views of logical devices held in the same project are placed into the relevant installation spaces.
E3.Functional Design is an add-on module to E3.cable that supports the development of the first sketches used to drive the detailed wiring. In the early development phases, block diagrams are created and connected through specified communication channels. Then functional units containing signal properties are placed in dynamic components. After the desired functional units of a dynamic component are correctly assigned, the dynamic component is replaced by a standard component from the library. Includes all the functionality of E3.viewer and E3.viewer+ and also allows users to create markup detail within either.e3s or .e3v files. Users can copy circuitry, add graphics and annotate recommended field or production changes for the design team. Supports all E³.viewer+ functionality Insert graphics and text Copy and insert sub-circuits as graphics Create E³.redliner information for transferring back to the original design E3.3D Routing Bridge enables companies to integrate their electrical harness design with all major MCAD vendors. Electrical harness details such as connectors, terminals, splices and netlist information are transferred to the MCAD system, where harness engineers route the cables in the mechanical space. The length and structure data for the harness is then fed into E3.series, where the final details are added for manufacturing. E3.3D Routing Bridge works in conjunction with E3.cable. |
