Features and Benefits
| Comprehensive set of tools for selecting, connecting and editing cables – automatically or interactively establish wire assignments and add connectivity components |
|
| Automatic design integrity checking – ensure correlation between wiring assignments and schematics, reduce errors and save time, especially when updating and modifying existing drawings |
|
| Automatic alteration reporting to all project members – ensure design consistency |
|
| Simple symbol and micro circuit diagrams selection, loading, production and library customisation – save time, and ensure corporate and international standards compliance |
|
| Multiple catalogue definitions and single-source multi-language support – simplify design localisation |
|
| Automatic interactive cable and signal routing with auto update – optimise routings, increasing design and production efficiency |
|
| Easy material selection and compatability checking – rapidly select cost-effective materials according to electromechanical requirements |
|
| Automatic annotation of wiring connections – easily create and revise wiring diagrams |
|
| Clear wiring documentation – issue precise and reliable information for component fabricators; ensure error-free wiring in the field |
|
| Terminal Strip Editor – Create, name, select and sort terminal blocks, moving a range of blocks within a large terminal strip in a few seconds; update all references automatically (customisable) |
|
| Customisable materials database – Interactive entry of component data; or from ASCII files with full validation |
|
| Simple backup and archiving options for notebook and home users – gain flexibility for today's work-life balance |
|
| Multi-sheet plotting – plot sets of drawings in order and able to produce PDF and DXF format on demand for plotting |
|
| Easy company or project-specific customisations – MEDEA INTERFACE Procedures (MIP) allow users to write advanced customisations without specialist knowledge of the MEDEA database structure |
