Manually drawing PLC cards is tedious and error-prone. V7R2 allows engineers to import PLC I/O signal lists directly from Excel. The software then automatically generates the schematic pages, complete with rack addresses, channel descriptions, and terminal connections. Automated Documentation and Reporting
remains a premier choice for industrial automation design. It successfully bridges the gap between basic graphical drawing and complex, database-heavy PLM systems. By automating repetitive tasks like wire numbering, cross-referencing, and BOM compilation, it allows electrical engineers to focus on what matters most: designing safe, innovative, and highly efficient control systems.
: One of the flagship introductions was the "new construction/maintenance mode". This feature allowed users to safely apply automatic processing, particularly the lock function, which is crucial for revision control and preventing errors in large or collaborative projects. This significantly improved documentation quality by providing new, default equipment lists.
The software is structured around three distinct pricing and functionality tiers—. The full version, incorporating the Advanced tier alongside vital technical modules, serves as an end-to-end environment for complex electrical project lifecycles.

The software provides a pick-list of components used in the schematic.
A 2D industrial enclosure design tool. It links directly to the schematic database. Component footprints match their schematic counterparts, ensuring spatial accuracy.

The full version includes extensive libraries conforming to international standards such as and IEEE/ANSI . Symbols are context-aware; dropping a symbol onto a wire breaks the line automatically and maps the terminal connections instantly. 4. Step-by-Step Engineering Workflow
