What are the commonly used electrical drawing software? And their respective advantages and disadvantages

Electrical drawing software:
No.1 "SuperWORKS" (advantage: domestic software, easy to use)

SuperWORKS is a professional electrical CAD software developed by Litz Software after 15 years of continuous upgrading and upgrading. Currently, the products have been serialized, including factory version, power supply version, IEC version, substation secondary version, education version, etc. The scope of application Different respectively. SuperWORKS series products can help electrical and automation engineers to easily draw and modify electrical schematic diagrams, statistics and generate material details, and can automatically generate terminal tables, cable tables, wiring tables, switch tables and wiring diagrams, and provide a rich design library and The library management function effectively helps improve the efficiency and quality of electrical design.

No.2 "AutoCAD" (advantage: there is a cracked version, free forever)

AutoCAD (Autodesk Computer Aided Design) is the first automatic computer-aided design software developed by Autodesk in 1982. It is used for two-dimensional drawing, detailed drawing, design documents and basic three-dimensional design. Popular drawing tools. AutoCAD has a good user interface, and various operations can be performed through interactive menus or command lines. Its multi-document design environment allows non-computer professionals to quickly learn to use it. In the process of continuous practice, better master its various applications and development skills, so as to continuously improve work efficiency. AutoCAD has a wide range of adaptability, it can run on microcomputers and workstations supported by various operating systems.

NO.3"Eplan"

◆Facing electrical systems, not electrical drawings. EPLAN is a database-based electrical design software. When using EPLAN for electrical design, the input is not graphics, but the logical relationship between "components" and "components" with attributes.

◆Support different electrical standards, such as IEC, JIC, DIN, etc., and have a standard symbol library.

◆EPLAN provides standard templates, and various charts can be automatically generated, such as equipment lists, terminal connection diagrams, etc. The detailed attributes of each record can be reflected in the chart. Once the modification is made in the schematic diagram, the latest data can be updated by refreshing the table without manual modification, which ensures the accuracy of the data.

◆The main equipment and its scattered components automatically generate cross-references. For example, contactor coils and contacts can automatically display the contact image below the coil to indicate the position and number of the contacts, avoiding the repeated use of the same contacts; at the same time, the selection of components is consistent with the physical existence. Contactor, so as not to miss the contactor contacts.

◆Quick selection function. Simply list the required components in EXCEL one time, complete the database association, and then select one by one in the schematic diagram, and generate a list through EPLAN standard templates, including various electrical parameters and appearances of the components Information such as size, brand, etc., and can be automatically sorted according to different requirements.

◆After the component selection is completed, the panel layout can be carried out. Because the component outline size is included in the component list, EPLAN automatically generates a 1:1 component outline drawing according to the selected component, which saves the cabinet layout time.

◆For similar projects, as long as you modify some related project data, such as project name, project number, user name, etc., it can be a drawing for a new project, which can avoid repeated changes to the project.

NO4."Protel"

Prote199 SE is divided into 5 modules, namely schematic design, PCB design (including signal integrity analysis), automatic router, schematic mixed signal simulation, and PLD design. Here are some of the latest features of Prote199SE:

◆Can generate electrical connection network tables in more than 30 formats:

◆Powerful global editing function;

◆Select--level device in the schematic diagram, the same device in the PCB will also be selected;

◆Run the schematic diagram and PCB at the same time, allowing bidirectional cross-searching of components, pins, and networks between the opened schematic diagram and the PCB diagram;

◆Either forward annotation of component label (from schematic to PCB), or reverse annotation (from PCB to schematic) to maintain the consistency of electrical schematic and PCB design;

◆Meet international design requirements (including national standard title bar output, GB4728 national standard library); * Convenient and easy-to-use digital-analog hybrid simulation (compatible with SPICE 3f5);

◆Support the design of PLD with CUPL language and schematic diagram, and generate standard JED download files; * PCB can design 32 signal layers, 16 power-ground layers and 16 machining layers;

◆Powerful "rule-driven" design environment, in line with online and batch design rule checks;

◆Intelligent copper coating function, the uranium coating can be automatically resurfaced:

◆Provide a large number of industrialized standard circuit boards as design templates;

◆The function of placing Chinese characters;

◆Can import and export DXF, DWG format files, realize data exchange with AutoCAD and other software;

◆Intelligent package navigation (useful for building complex PGA and BGA packages);

◆Convenient print preview function, you can directly control the printing result without modifying the PCB file;

◆Unique 3D display can see the effect of assembling things before making the board:

◆Powerful CAM processing allows you to easily output light drawing files, material lists, drilling files, placement machine files, test point reports, etc.;

◆Fully verified transmission line characteristics and simulation and accurate calculation algorithms, signal integrity analysis starts directly from the PCB;

◆The waveform display results of reflection and crosstalk simulation are combined with convenient measurement tools:

◆Expert navigation to help you solve signal integrity problems.

Each software itself has its own advantages and advantages. The key to the disadvantages depends on the users themselves. It depends on which drawing habits the users prefer. You can choose the ones that are more suitable for you through the above sorting out. He is OK. These softwares have become well-known software, and they must have met everyone's needs. If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it can be regarded as a shortcoming compared to the advantages of other software compared to the ones that you don't have.
