Object-Oriented Technology

Object-Oriented Technology

Object-oriented means for the user...

• Begin anywhere in the project, even with BOMs

• Different views of objects make it possible to produce special documentation for manufacturing, service and customers

• Modifications made simultaneously in all views

• Documentation always consistent without the need to update

Basic Functionality of all E³ Modules

E³.schematic is the complete, easy-to-use solution for designing and documenting circuit diagrams for electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic drawings.

With E³.schematic, all the required documents for subsequent production and user documentation are created.

E³.schematic Functionality

• Circuit diagrams can be created for electrical engineering, hydraulics and pneumatics, either separately or in combination

• Automatic connections (Autoconnect)

• Online functionality, e.g. terminal plans, PLCs and cross-references

• Modular design using predefined subcircuits

• Multiple electrical checks prevent user from making errors • Extensive component and symbol databases included

E³.schematic Functionality

E³.cable is an integrated, logic-oriented, Windows®-based solution for the design and documentation of wiring, cables and cable harnesses.

With E³.cable, block diagrams can be created, which provide an overview of all electrical and electronic elements. Interconnections of functional modules can be designed using single wires, shielded or twisted cables, or cable harnesses.

E³.cable Functionality

E³.cable Functionality

• Includes all E³.schematic functionality

• Automatic selection of mating and fitting parts

• Create dynamic cables including shielded and twisted

• Distributed block diagrams (Black Boxes)

• Views of connectors, cables and pins

• Documentation graphics

• Import of PCB design data

• Interface for CNC wire manufacturing machines and 3D Harness Design Systems

E³.panel offers a unique and easy-to-use solution for panel layout and wiring.

E³.panel is an add-on option to E³.schematic or E³.cable with complete, online integration.

All data available for production, labelling, manufacturing cables, drilling, milling and user-defined reports.

E³.panel Functionality

• Online synchronization with E³.schematic / E³.cable

• Complete component definitions (dimensioning, pins, accessories)

• Automatic and interactive placement with online checks

• Interactive and automatic routing of wires

• Wire length calculations and dynamic dimensioning

• Cable duct fill calculations with graphical display

• Integration with automatic wiring, drilling and milling machines (e.g. CadCabel, Kiesling, Komax, Metzner )

E³.panel Functionality

E³.logic is used for schematic drawings of electronic designs.

E³.logic is a separat module of the E³.series with special functionality for PCB design.

E³.logic designs can be directly read into E³.cable. For that reason a electronic system consisting of several PCBs, cable connections and additional actors and sensors can be documented in one complete and checked drawing.

E³.logic Functionality

• Identical base functionality as the other E³.series modules

• Definition of pad-stacks and manufacturing technologies in the component library

• Hierarchical design support

• Support of „known good schematic modules“

• Bus and bus-pin functionality for better design overview

• Dynamic symbols with interfaces to FPGA design tools

• Definition of testpoints and backannotation of testpoint positions

• Direct interface of PCB connectors and signalling to E³.cable

E³.logic Functionality

E³.view is the free-of-charge E³.series Viewer.

E³.view makes it possible for the user to distribute his/her E³.series projects as original data. This ensures correct exchange of data with production, service, suppliers and customers and provides powerful E³.series functionality, e.g. Search, Jump, Device Properties Review.

E³.view Functionality

E³.viewerPlus is the intelligent E³.series Viewer for use within production and service.

Additional functionality, like switching levels and languages, as well as specific functions available in the Tools menu, allows the customer to provide special functionality to different departments.

E³.viewerPlus Functionality

E³.Redliner is used for commissioning and production.

In addition to the functionality of E³.viewerPlus, typical “ red-line“ modifications can be made to the drawing using graphics and text. The resultant Redliner file, can be displayed in the original E³.series project.

These modifications are only a mouse click away by using the special Redliner Search feature.

E³.redliner Functionality

E³.view:• For original E³.series data and special Viewer files • Displays all object attributes• Search functions, dynamic "Pan" and "Zoom"• Jump using cross-references• Print with Windows®-supported printers

E³.viewerPlus: • Supports all functions of E³.view• Plus switching languages• Plus switching levels• Plus integration of user‘s own programs in toolbar

E³.redliner:• Supports all functions of ViewerPlus• Insert graphics and text• Copy & Paste parts of a drawing as graphics• Saves Redliner information

Functionality

• Intuitive use with Windows standard interface

• Data consistency throughout electrical engineering, hydraulics/pneumatics, panel – through production

• Tailor-made documentation for cables and cable harnesses

• Parallel work possible – project can begin anywhere

• Intelligent variants and options

• Valid, world-wide documentation by using UNICODE, multilingual texts and different standards

• Easy integration through API on COM / DCOM Basis
