The clipx WIRE assist software increases wire processing productivity and improves consistency. The software controls the wire cutting and labeling devices, guiding the user through clear onscreen instructions on a laptop or touchscreen. The program can be used with the CUTFOX 10 wire cutting machine, the THERMOMARK ROLL series printers, the CF3000 wire stripper and ferrule crimper, and the CF500 ferrule and lugs crimping machine.

Summary: ClipX is good for you, but it has a little problem, which is easy to fix... if you know how.
ClipX is one of the most useful utilities running on my system. It fills the gap left by the native Windows clipboard which restricts the number of saved elements to a single entry. ClipX is a clipboard manager, which holds entries from your clipboard history so that you can easily copy them between applications. I'm using ClipX now, as I write this post, to define titles and target of the hyperlinks.


Before ClipX, I used a similar utility called CLCL. CLCL used the ALT+C combination as the default keyboard shortcut (hotkey) for displaying the clipboard history. I liked this shortcut because it's somewhat similar to the unforgettable CTRL+C and because it's easy to press by one hand. By default, ClipX uses a different hotkey for displaying the history, but you can change it using the Configuration dialog box. Unfortunately, the Configuration dialog box does not let you change the hotkey to ALT+C, because this is the hotkey used by the dialog box itself; it's mapped to the Cancel button, so once you press ALT+C, the dialog box closes ignoring the changes. Fortunately, I was able to find a workaround.

To set, the hotkey to ALT+C, do the following:

  1. If ClipX is running, stop it.

  2. Using a text editor (such as Notepad), open the clipx.ini file located in the ClipX program file directory (by default, it must be under C:\Program Files\ClipX).

  3. Locate the lines holding the hotkey1_key and hotkey1_mod settings under your user name section and set them to the following:hotkey1_key=67
    hotkey1_mod=1
  4. Save and close clipx.ini.

  5. Start ClipX.
Now, if you open the Configuration dialog box, you will see that the Primary Paste hotkey is set to CTRL+C. And it actually works.

Vista WarningIf you attempt to save the modified clipx.ini file on Windows Vista, you may get this error: Cannot create the C:\Program Files\ClipX\clipx.ini file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct.To overcome this, run Notepad as administrator (right-click the Notepad shortcut, and select the Run as administrator option from the context menu; once Notepad starts, open clipx.ini make the change and save the modified file).
P.S. I hope that ClipX creators will fix this problem, so that this post will no longer be needed. They just need to disassociate hotkeys from the controls -- text fields, buttons -- in the Hotkeys tab of the Configuration dialog box from the buttons.

Industrial manufacturing has been undergoing a fundamental transformation for several years, fueled primarily by digitalization. There is hardly a company report that does not talk about "Industry Four Point Zero" - and its beneficial side effects. And indeed, the use of ultra-modern industrial control, monitoring and analysis systems is already part of everyday life today and undeniably brings many advantages. However, all these innovations create new challenges in places where one would not even suspect it at first. Among other things, the aforementioned systems, as compact as they may sometimes be, and the system disruptions that go along with them make for increased planning effort and additional crowding in the control cabinet. The simultaneous accommodation of power supply, safety systems, signal processing and connectivity in often very confined spaces therefore requires efficient control cabinet planning more than ever.

PHOENIX CONTACT, which claims to be the global market leader and innovator in electrification, networking and automation, is now providing its customers and those who want to become customers with the clipx ENGINEER engineering software, a set of tools that should make it possible to plan and order terminal strips, populated mounting plates and terminal boxes more efficiently than ever before, and to transfer the data seamlessly to production - at any work location.

There are a number of reasons why software programs such as clipx ENGINEER, which ensure the continuous flow of data, contribute significantly to efficiency throughout the entire process. Firstly, there is the maximum availability: clipx ENGINEER allows the choice between online and offline application, between the cloud and the local server - so that planning can be accessed from any location, mobile and flexible.

Bi-directional interfaces to CAE programs as well as direct connection to familiar PHOENIX CONTACT applications, configurators and the online store streamline and accelerate time-consuming planning tasks and increase the overall efficiency of all workflows.

PHOENIX CONTACT clipx ENGINEER features intelligent engineering wizards to simplify planning. Entire function groups can be created with just a few clicks or articles can be checked for application-relevant approvals. In addition, a wizard automatically completes projects with all necessary accessories.

With the clipx ENGINEER engineering software, planning tasks can also be performed directly in 3D. The software also offers the option of generating manufacturing documents from the project or controlling manufacturing systems.
