FEATURE ELECTRICAL DESIGN SOFTWARE
SEAMLESS ENGINEERING OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
Suppliers of technology for buildings, building automation companies, planning offices and electrical installers need efficient tools to optimise the costs and enable efficient sharing of information. WSCAD’s SUITE X enables interdisciplinary engineering for building automation, electrical and fluid power systems using the same database

arkus Wittke, product manager at WSCAD explains: “Modern buildings
require an interdisciplinary CAE tool to design reliable building automation.” The WSCAD Building Automation (BA) module encompasses all automation planning stages of a construction in one single location. Field devices, actuators and sensors can be depicted with precision in their functional view and location view. All captured data points including their values can be processed in every discipline of the WSCAD SUITE - from the automation diagram and the electrical schematics, to the programmable controller terminals (PLC/DDC). This shortens project times by up to 20 per cent. Electrical installation design is
completed by using the electrical installation module. It reads floor plans, places any captured field devices, and can automatically determine the required cable lengths. It also creates the associated cable and material lists at the touch of a button. “Only WSCAD SUITE can seamlessly connect building automation, electrical
installation, electrical engineering, cabinet design, piping and instrumentation and fluid power in one single application,” adds Axel Zein, WSCAD CEO.
INNOVATIONS The company’s innovations include the new Building Augmented Reality App, as well as new features for the Building Automation module to manage the properties of devices. With the Building AR App, technicians or electrical installers can simply scan a room using their mobile device. The Building AR App can then automatically transfer the scanned room to the WSCAD SUITE X for further editing, saving time, eliminating errors and increasing engineering quality. WSCAD SUITE X supports the new three-layer model from VDI 3814 GA, making WSCAD SUITE X ready for the new building automation standard. Companies that manufacture control
cabinets can benefit from the Cabinet Engineering module that automatically routes all connections and calculates wire lengths with a mouse click.
Included in the software module are machine interfaces so companies can directly manufacture wires, wire sets, cabinet doors and mounting plates on NC machines without additional costs.
