Elecdes is an e&tremely powerful tool for producing 7D electrical and
instrumentation diagrams Elecdes is used by )ower Distribution!
Switchgear and Control Systems designers Elecdes consists of a
set of fast tools and comprehensive libraries to be used with CAD
and Database systems
Elecdes greatly increases the speed! accuracy and efficiency by which
designers can produce comprehensive documentation re"uired in
today/s electrical pro3ects Elecdes increases efficiency by using its in-
built tools to automate the repetitive tas's forced upon
the designer! such as cross-chec'ing circuits and the .sheet
flipping6 associated with this process 8or e&ample! relay cross-
referencing and tag-name duplication chec's can be a large
proportion of the labour cost in many design pro3ects Elecdes
totally automates these tas's9

1orld/s first )C based
wire<cable routing
)aneldes is a powerful software
tool for the
of electrical
and plant raceway systems
)aneldes is used by
plant or panel designers and
wiring estimators
&%NELDES
)aneldes is composed
of C== and database
modules containing
parametric construction!
design! routing and
analysis tools #hese
tools accelerate the
design process and
increase your efficiency
and accuracy )roducing
5eneral Arrangement
drawings has never
been so easy
)aneldes calculates
material "uantities and
wire<cable lengths 8rom
a 2D panel model
a 7D 5A can be
automatically produced!
with auto dimensioning and
collision chec'ing 1ire or
cable routing and
interference chec's are
carried out automatically by
)aneldes
)aneldes can be integrated
with wire labelling and wire
cutting prefabrication
e"uipment for larger
manufacturers! assisting
with automation of the
manufacturing process
)aneldes automation
of wire pre-
fabrication is
estimated to have
saved >?-%?@ in the
production costs of
our modular A-Series
protection systems
Engineering Manager,
GEC U(
)aneldes is the 1orld/s first
)C based cable and wire
routing software It ta'es into
account raceway fill and
cable factor! power
compatibility! cable
pulling schedules and
bend radius when
optimising cable
routes 1here there
are potential
bottlenec's! )aneldes
will also provide
alternative routes It
produces cross
section reports and will
also create drumming
reports which inform
you where to cut and
splice your cables!
optimally reducing
cable wastage #his
software can produce
phenomenal cost
savings! particularly in
the design of large
pro3ects li'e power
plants
#ypically pro3ect
costs can be over or
underestimated by
up to 2?@ because
of the general
inaccuracy of routing
cables manually and
interference chec'ing
is largely governed
by guesswor'
Depending on the
si;e of your pro3ect!
)aneldes can help
you
achieve significant
savings on installation
and material costs In
fact! one of our
customers paid for
the software and
training several times
over in their first
pro3ect in savings
on cable costs
alone

)rotogen is a tool
for producing many
graphically similar
.cloned6 diagrams
automatically from
one or more master
drawing prototypes
A relational
structure allows the
production of
composite drawings
from multiple
templates
)rotogen is used by
designers and
engineers for
Electrical<Instrumentati
on pro3ects
and can also be used
for pro3ects by other
disciplines )rotogen
has been used in
hydraulic!
mechanical and civil
pro3ects! saving time
and money on each
occasion
In a fraction of the time
historically needed to do
so! diagrams can be
produced by )rotogen
Standard diagrams! that
you currently use! can
easily be converted to
)rotogen #emplates and
lin'ed to a Database
#he database-lin'ed
system allows you
to accelerate your
data entry process
for diagram
attributes and te&t by
avoiding slow CAD
editing procedures
.4sing )rotogen! I have 3ust produced over 7?? loop drawings from about $B different prototypes! with
people changing their minds about information all the time! and I did it
in less than 7 wee's! C? hours #he others! > of them! have produced about %?? loop drawings
manually using standard AutoCAD and it has ta'en them 2 months! how/s that for productivity6
Engineer, Ro!he Energ# %$s"ralia
)rotogen is eminently
suitable! and is one of
the fastest methods
available! for
producing instrument
loop diagrams
and )DC output
diagrams
)rotogen
produced
diagrams are
standard CAD
D15 files and may
be treated as such
once produced ie
they can be
delivered to and
modified by any

Ebase is
a
databas
e tool
enabling
manipula

collation
of circuit
diagram
data Ebase is
supplied with
Elecdes It can be
used by both
designers and
engineers
Ebase consists of an
.e&e6 program for
reading and writing
information in drawing
and database files It
can automatically
establish costs!
materials and
connection information
associated with a
pro3ect and if necessary
rapidly modify data
pro3ect wide #his
ability saves time and
money by allowing
direct access to
thousands of files with
drawing read<write and
FD+C database read<
write technology
Ebase allows reports
to be generated from
multiple pro3ects!
consisting of
thousands of
drawings An
e&pensive CAD
pac'age is not
re"uired for the
database
manipulation
associated with
these pro3ects
)ro3ect wide
modifications to
tagging and
component
specifications can be
performed "uic'ly
and easily! with
Ebase9
Ebase produces
.warning6 reports to
alert the user to any
suspicious<erroneous
pro3ect data eg short
and open circuits! or
duplications
of device names
Ebase also
includes a revision
trac'ing feature
and produces
.revision
comparison6
reports detailing
additions! deletions
and modifications
-ou can also use
the database
editor in Ebase to
navigate directly
from a specific
component in the
database table to
its grid position on
your pro3ect

Cable Scheduler is a tool for managing your plant or pro3ect
cabling
Cables can be directly added to the pro3ect database via Cable
Scheduler! without CAD operations Fptionally! you can create primary
cabling diagrams *Single Dine and Cable +loc' diagrams, Cable
Scheduler will integrate with any e&isting primary cabling
diagrams and provide the means to manage all interconnection!
routing and assignment for all of your pro3ect/s cables
Cable Scheduler provides tools to terminate your pro3ect/s cabling on the
pro3ect/s termination points 1here re"uired! pro3ect enclosures! terminal
strips
and
devices
can be

Cable Scheduler/s
termination
operations can be
done very simply with
drag and drop
methodology or in
bul' ie many
conductors can be
terminated on a
terminal strip
*or disconnected,
in a single
operation
Should your pro3ect
have schematics
included! you can
.enhance6 the current
wiring of those
schematics and
.bundle6 e&isting
schematic wires by
.assigning6 them to the
conductors of your
inter-panel cables #his
is done without
opening the diagrams
in CAD
Cable Scheduler
provides output of
materials reports!
.from<to cable and
core schedules6 as
well as automatic
terminal strip
diagrams #his
automated output does
not re"uire the drafting
of any CAD
schematics
whatsoever
however! optionally!
your pro3ect can include
any of the diagrams
produced by Elecdes
Cable Scheduler
integrates with and
provides an enhanced
interface to the
)aneldes
cable routing system
#his interface allows
incremental and semi
automatic routing for
those routing pro3ects
where full automation
is not possible *or
desirable, in the cable
