ELCAD
ELCAD is the high-end engineering system for electrical CAD design and documentation, for electro-mechanical engineering and plant construction. |
| ELCAD offers its users a complete solution for planning, construction, operation and maintenance of electrical plants from various industrial sectors.
ELCAD is characterized by maximum flexibility and adaptability to special labeling instructions, engineering processes and documentation regulations. ELCAD can be obtained internationally through AUCOTEC's Global Partner Network, conforms to international standards and is available in various language versions. ELCAD supports current trends and technologies such as database-driven engineering and object oriented modular design. ELCAD has found its place among the market leaders of E-engineering systems and has numerous references from its worldwide user network, which includes leading companies within their sectors.

ELCAD Studio With ELCAD Studio, modular design, based on standardized function modules, is directly integrated into an E-CAE system. Standardized "construction kits" contain, apart from the circuit diagrams proper, all information concerning I/O assignment, device definitions and specifications, as well as the external documentation required. At the same time ELCAD Studio also offers options for variant management, database-oriented engineering and an online cabinet concept. Brochure
ELCAD Web The ELCAD Web from AUCOTEC enables a safe, worldwide access to ELCAD/AUCOPLAN projects via the Internet. Based on a Web service and .Net technology, projects can be managed from anywhere in the world, and that independent of the file system. Of course it is also possible to create, copy or delete ELCAD/AUCOPLAN projects via the Web. The storage of projects that were hitherto administered in a file system is effected automatically. In addition projects can be structured in folders according to customers or product lines. Quick finding and opening is achieved via the Search and Filter function using the header data. In addition the user can employ ELCAD Web to search for the use of the part numbers. Moreover the system offers the use of components in browsers, including the possibility to edit the project via the object representation. The projects can be opened both for local editing – and are then blocked for other users – and in client/server operation for workgroup editing. The data storage and administration remain centrally operated.

| With ELCAD Studio, modular design on the basis of standardized function modules is directly integrated into an E-CAE system. With an ELCAD template project, reusable modules can be predefined or put together from already projected machines and plants. These standardized "construction kits" contain, apart from the circuit diagrams proper, all information concerning I/O assignment, device definitions and specifications, as well as the external documentation required. In a working project these templates can be accessed via search keys or filter criteria and copied any number of times in a single operation.
At the same time, ELCAD Studio also offers a variant management option. ELCAD creates all source materials necessary for documenting switching stations, machine controls, cabling, building installations and process engineering plants. ELCAD is used to generate circuit diagrams, terminal and connector diagrams, ordering and device lists, parts lists, input/output lists, contents tables, wiring and cable lists, assembly and mounting diagrams, as well as layout diagrams for the electrical cabinet. Sophisticated ergonomic software design, unlimited upward compatibility, high integration capability and maximum functionality for electrical engineering make ELCAD a special value. In conjunction with AUCOPLAN, ELCAD offers a complete solution for integrated electrical and process engineering. Brochure
