June, 2016 EPLAN Presents New Smart Wiring Application
Monheim, Germany —Wiring a control cabinet has traditionally required a lot of time and expertise. EPLAN is making the process much easier with its new smart wiring software application, which visu- ally represents the wiring and provides the neces- sary production data 100 percent digitally. Knowledge of the control technology is plugged into the system for future use. Operators benefit from reduced last-minute changes, as the software also handles the often complex task of project compari- son. The application also provides step-by-step instructions for the panel shop. Whether it’s the source/target description, ter-
minal point handling, cross section, color, wire length, end procedures, or exact cable routing, the software provides visual information and engi- neering data for mounting within the control cabi-
net. Schematic-based wiring is a time-consuming process, is prone to error, and requires a great deal
of know-how. With EPLAN’s software, it is no longer necessary. The smart wiring application’s digital representation refers to the virtual model’s 3D layout in EPLAN Pro. However, the application can be used to enhance productivity even without the 3D layer. For example, Excel lists, with all the required connection information, can be read into the program. The 3D visualization of the routing pathways and assembly steps cannot be provided, but step-by-step execution, as well as the compari- son of various connection lists for last-minute changes will remain available. The software will be available with the release of EPLAN Platform 2.6 in September. The menu has been designed to be clear and

describes every single connection. This informa- tion is complemented by the equipment visualiza- tion, which includes terminal points and planned cable routing for the wires within the control cabinet. The software further provides informa- tion about the required wire diame- ter, the color to be used, and the defined terminal point handling — crimped or ultrasonically welded. Bundle affiliation is also shown. The smart wiring application
really shows its strength in its abili- ty to add last-minute changes to the project, which are registered in
EPLAN Pro and then updated. Contact: EPLAN Software &

Generator San Diego, CA — Advanced Test Equipment Rentals (ATEC) has teamed up with EMC Partner to carry the AVI3000 indirect lightning generator for its rental customers. The AVI3000 allows users to test products for outside electromagnetic interference, which determines whe - ther or not the product can stand up to new regulations. The EMC Partner AVI3000
allows for full compliance with DO- 160 section 22 MIL-STD-461G CS117. CS117 is a recently-added govern- ment contract requirement for testing conducted susceptibility of lightning induced transients, or if a circuit can survive high-level voltage from indi- rect lightning. CS117 is useful for air- craft, surface ship and above deck equipment testing. The system provides full com-
pliance up to level 3 for PIN injection and cable bundle tests, including sin- gle- and multiple-stroke waveform, and multiple bursts. It contains all six waveforms in one unit. It also includes a touchscreen interface, integrated AC/DC decouplers, an automated test process, phase angle synchronization to 800 Hz, and is portable for on-site testing. ATEC provides the opportunity
for companies to make use of the lat- est test and measurement equip- ment, rather than owning and main- taining infrequently used equipment
that becomes outdated. Contact: Advanced Test
