3.2.1 Macros for ECAD systems
The electronics in a machine must be designed in a way that optimizes use of available space and materials.
Graphic ECAD systems have proven themselves as the right tool for this job.
Every module in the X20 system is delivered with pre-designed electronic descriptions of the mechanical dimen-
sions, electrical signals and module functions. These macros can be loaded directly to proven ECAD systems. The
wiring plans are automatically applied by the configuration and programming system, Automation Studio. Design
and changes are immediately reflected at all levels of development. This saves time for the more important tasks
and prevents errors right from the start. The accelerated development, programming, maintenance and documen-
tation involved with the X20 system mean lower costs, enhanced quality and increased sales by earlier entry into
the market.
3.2.2 Printing support
System printers and standard identification labels are supported by the appropriate printer software. Printing can
be done manually from table calculations or directly from ECAD software (all methods are supported). The software
and printer systems correspond with the Weidmüller standard.
