Using and generating terminals is a snap in Electra.
Terminal symbols will be shown in red unless dropped on a wire. Generated terminal listings will automatically display wire names, and synchronized in real time when modified.
Terminal blocks will count terminal listings, and terminal numbering will be automatically synchronized with terminal symbols when renumbered.
To use multi tier terminals, simply arrange terminal listings in parallel, either horizontally or vertically, and Electra's terminal block will automatically identify stacked, multi tier terminals and treat them as a single unit.
Generating panel layout drawings is just a matter of a single click.
Electra automatically scan all your schematics and generate panel layout based on your components, with real world dimensions. If there are modifications to your schematics, simply generate layout again, and Electra will automatically synchronize between schematics and panel layout.
Being able to generate panel layout quickly, drastically reduce your design and development cost, improves communication with your shop floor, and ensure high quality panels that is properly documented.
Simply drag and drop DWG and DXF drawings into Electra, and it will be converted into native shapes.
Photos and images can also be drag and dropped into Electra, to be used as symbols and panel layout shapes.
