INTRODUCTION

Introduction BEFORE YOU START The symbols as presented here are for use when drawing in the horizontal mode. All the symbols are of course available for use in the vertical drawing mode. If, however, you draw in the vertical mode, the direction information in the manual will not be in agreement with that appearing on the screen. To the right will become downward, to the left will become upward etc. The insertion points for the symbols will agree with those shown in the manual for both the vertical and the horizontal drawing modes. The symbols in ELPROCAD are based on the standards IEC 617 or IEC 1082. The default setting of symbol standard is symbols in accordance with IEC 1082 and it is these symbols which are shown in this manual. Change the symbol standard under the tab General in the dialog box for ELPROCAD Settings. The following is a list of attributes which can occur: Text in dialog box Attribute tag ExplanationFunction designation BET2 Function-oriented item designation Item designation BET1 Item designation Type TYP Apparatus type (from database) Location PLAC Specifies location of an apparatus Serves EGET1 Optional question, used as comment Note EGET2 Optional question, used as comment Terminal 1-6 UTTAG1-6 Terminal designations on apparatus Database LIB Specifies which database is to be used Accessory TBH Accessories linked to the apparatus Cross-reference XREF Field for cross-reference To change these texts later, use the commands for attribute editing in the Electrical schematics toolbar under Attribute functions. See otherwise the manual for Instructions and tips. The contents of this manual are the same, irrespective of which program you use, Basic or Pro. To be able to make use of the extra functionality provided with Pro, you mujst read the text below. The commands which are only available in Pro are presented in a separate section of the manual. The text below, on this page, applies only to Pro: When you insert a symbol and respond with the button with a question mark (?) in the dialog box Enter attribute to the attributes for Type or Accessories, you gain access to the apparatus database and can select the apparatus required directly. You can also use this procedure if you only wish to check which units of apparatus the data-base contains. The database field Manufacturer must be filled in for this function to be available. You can also use this procedure with respect to Location to access a location already used. When responding to the request for Item designation for contacts and terminals, you can choose between designations from apparatus with the same location. Signal names already used are shown for signals. When entering and editing a contact, you can access terminal data directly from a defined contact diagram in the apparatus database. If you respond with the button with a question mark (?) to the attributes for terminal desig-nation, a dialog box appears in which the terminal combinations available for the contactor type selected are shown. Designations already in use are marked with an asterisk *.

Toolbar

A number of toolbars and buttons are provided which simplify and speed-up your drawing work. You can reach all the symbols and most of the ELPROCAD functions by clicking one of the buttons in the toolbar at the left of

tained by allowing the mouse pointer to rest for a

here are two different types of module toolbars in ELPROCAD. One type contains flyouts which appear when you hold the mouse button depressed and which are identified by a small black triangle on the icon button. If you click once on the button in the module toolbar or on the first button on the underlying toolbar, the corresponding icon menu for the symbols is presented. An example of such a menu is shown below:

the screen.. The menus and buttons at the top of the screen are not normally needed for drawing electrical diagrams and are therefore not described in this manual. Descriptions of these functions are available on-line under the Help menu. They are briefly described by tool tips obshort time over the different buttons. All the ELPROCAD symbols are to be found in one of the toolbars for the modules Circuit diagram, Assembly drawing, External connection diagram or Single line diagram. T

The other type of module toolbar opens a new toolbar with a group of symbols when you click on one of the buttons. If you are to insert more symbols from a certain group, you can leave this toolbar open which makes the symbols easier to access. Read further about toolbars and how you select symbols in the manual Instructions and tips.

PROJECT FUNCTIONS

These commands are only available in Pro.


Open sheet in project

This command is used to open a sheet. The difference between this and the normal Open command is that this function keeps record of which drawings are included in your project i.e. the diagram sheets which are analysed and presents only these. The sheet number of the drawing is presented in the dialog box together with another field (attribute) from your drawing form. You determine which field this is to be with the command Attribute in the menu Alternative in the program window ELPROCAD LT Pro Project. Read further in the manual Instructions and tips.

Project automation

This command enables you to chose from three functions: analysis of drawings, updating of cross references and the printing of drawings. The selection can be made clicking All or Marked drawings included in the project. Drawings included in the project are those which have been analysed previously. It is possible to combine the functions in a sequence. By clicking OK you start a script which executes the functions. The box Run script contains several scripts provided with the program but you can also make your own. Read further in the manual Instructions and tips.

Next sheet in project

his command is use sheet in your project. The r of increasing sheet numbers.

NOTE! The command functions only on drawings/sheets which have been analysed at least once.

d to transfer to the nextT

stepping is upward in orde

Previous sheet in project

This command is used to transfer to the preceding sheet in your project. The stepping is downward in order of decreasing sheet numbers. NOTE! The command functions only on drawings/sheets which have

been analysed at least once. Continued on next page.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




Analyse

All the attributes are extracted when the drawing is analysed. To be able to perform an analysis, a project must have been created and the analysis then performed is of the current drawing and the file which you have selected. When an analysis is performed, an extract file, a so-called attribute file which reflects the information on the drawing is created. Information about the symbols on the drawing and the current sheet number and an extra field from the drawing are stored in conjuction with the analysis. The extra field is determined with the command Attributes in the menu Options in the program window ELPROCAD LT Pro - Project. Read further in the manual Instructions and tips. The success of the analysis is confirmed or any errors detected are presented in a dialog box. NOTE! Before closing a drawing, always perform an analysis.This is

to ensure that the latest information is stored in the project data base.

Cross-reference

Cross references transfer information from the project database back to the current drawing. The references for contacts, tables/contact symbols and signal references are updated. Only information stored in the project database after an analysis is updated. Successful updating is confirmed, any errors detected are presented in a dialog box. You should always update the cross references for all drawings before exiting from the project. NOTE! The project database does not contain complete information

about all references until you have analysed all drawings in your project.

Show error report

You can always obtain the result of your latest analysis or updating of cross-references with this command. Information from the project preparation is also shown in this window.

Cross check

When this command is selected, a complete analysis of the cross-references is performed for the entire project, i.e. all the sheets which have been analysed previously. The cross-references, however, are not updated in the drawings. A report of any errors detected is given in ELPROCAD LT Pro Project after the check performed. Error messages and explanations of these can be read in the manual Instructions and tips. This provides you with the opportunity of correcting any error before the cross-references are written into your project. Continued on next page.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




Sheet reference

With this command, you can search for units of apparatus, contacts and signals etc. with a particular item designation or location. This enables you to locate quickly where (on which sheet) you have, for example, placed your contacts to a certain coil. Select the command, mark a symbol on your drawing and press ENTER. In the dialog box which appears, all the apparatus, comments etc. are presented with the same location and item designation as the symbol you have chosen:

If you point at an apparatus, contact, signal etc. in the dialog box and then double-click or select Go to symbol, the program will open the drawing behind the dialog box and point out where the symbol is located. Read further in the manual Instructions and tips.
