cadett ELSA is a complete electrical design system for all types of users. cadett ELSA is easy to use. You can start working with cadett ELSA as a simple and rational documentation tool. At the same time, cadett ELSA covers even the most advanced user's needs for flexibility and automation.

cadett ELSA Professional Solo and cadett ELSA Enterprise Solo works in exactly the same way as cadett ELSA Professional and cadett ELSA Enterprisebut has a built-in integrated CAD engine and therefore does not require a separate AutoCAD.

cadett ELSA LT is a complete software for electrical design with built-in genuine AutoCAD at a very attractive price. You get a powerful design tool that is easy to use with powerful automation. cadett ELSA LT covers the basic needs of most and can be upgraded for even more advanced functionality.

The Project Manager of cadett ELSA keeps track of all projects. The same tree structure is available to all users. You can make multiple parallel structures for the same projects for maximum availability. For example, you can have a plant-oriented and an organisation-oriented subdivision at the same time.

A project can be managed in an arbitrary number of revisions at the same time where all revisions are accessible. Lists of differences containing changed devices, wires, cables, and documents between any revisions, can be generated automatically.

The OnLine Engine helps the designer directly in the drawing process. No waiting! Choose a contactor. You get the coil and contact mirror. You get help with the reference designation. Existing auxiliary contacts receive contact numbers, and cross-references directly. New help contacts get the correct connection numbers. You can choose from all available unused contacts. If there is no available contact, you will be informed. Everything is easy to use and simple with dialogur boxes. Just "click"!

The functionality for managing PLC's and other control systems is well-developed. For each I/O, in addition to the reference designation and other component-related data, you can manage the connection number, I/O number, symbolic address and several comment lines. This information is mirrored bidirectionally and OnLine between I/O symbols and PLC mirrors, which provide a perfect overview of the entire I/O board. Information corresponding to I/O lists can be easily exported and imported, for example via Excel.

At any time during the drawing process, you can call up a parts list, symbol list, cable core list, terminal list, or internal wire list at the touch of a button. Directly on the screen. You can change whatever you want. The changes are immediately reflected in the drawing sheets. OnLine!

cadett ELSA has seven symbol libraries with a total of over 5000 symbols. International standards according to IEC1082 and IEC113 are supported. In addition, older German DIN standards, American JIC and international ISO1219 for hydraulics and pneumatics are supported. An SSG-inspired symbol library for instrumentation is integrated with IEC1082. Finally, an extensive library of cabinet layout symbols is available.

The Drawing Manager keeps track of the drawing sheets in the project. Title field, index card and archive database are fully configurable. The Drawing Manager provides exceptional performance. You can make changes to the title fields of hundreds of drawing sheets in an instant!

You can have an automatic selection of cabinet layout symbols. The cabinet layout is automatically linked to your circuit diagrams cross-references. The connection generation (wire numbering) takes into account the cabinet layout for wiring optimization.

It is easy to import catalogue data from suppliers. Text files, databases and Excel sheets can be imported. Other formats can also be imported by first converting them to one of the supported formats.

The built-in Option Handling allows you to define arbitrary options consisting of parts spread over many sheets. The options are activated or deactivated as required; a deactivated option is not visible and does not appear in reports and the like.

At the heart of cadett ELSA is the PDS automation server, which handles all project-related data. The open interface makes it not only possible but also very easy to transfer data to and from cadett ELSA, from and to other software. For example, you can transfer the device list to Excel, change the data there and then read the information back to cadett ELSA. PDS updates the drawing sheets automatically!

The Script Generator lets you process multiple drawing sheets at once. For example, plotting, changing an incorrect symbol or anything else that needs to be done in the same way in several drawing sheets.

With the help of the built-in PDF generator, you can create a complete and intelligent PDF file for your entire project at the touch of a button. Bookmarks, hyperlinks for cross-referencing and many other features can be used.

Text in the drawing sheets can be translated between any number of languages via a built-in dictionary. You can easily expand the dictionary with more words or expressions that you want to be able to translate. Full Unicode support allows you to translate even into languages with alphabets other than our own, such as Chinese or Greek.

The installer handles all types of installations, from simple new local installations to more complex network installations where user data must be retrieved from several different legacy installations.

A major version update is released every year. If you sign a service contract, you will receive a subscription to all new versions at a fixed annual cost. It is also possible to buy the updates as "single issues", for those who prefer that option.

You can import any user data from other installations of cadett ELSA at any time. This is useful in a number of situations. For example, after installing a new version, the first thing you do is to import all user data such as projects, symbols, catalogues, etc. from the previous version. You can do the same kind of import between, for example, a laptop with a local installation and a network installation of cadett ELSA. This is very useful if, for example, you want to be able to continue working on your projects from home or when you are travelling.

cadett ELSA Enterprise supports the use of thin clients. This solution delivers superior performance, even with limited bandwidth between workstation and server. 10 Mbps is sufficient, making it possible to work over the internet or in slow networks with full efficiency.

All cadett ELSA licenses are floating. You are free to move licenses between computers as needed. The difference is the technical solution used, i.e. how you go about moving the license from one computer to another.

cadett ELSA is a multi-user system. For the best performance, modern technologies such as client/server solutions are used. To install cadett ELSA as a multi-user system in a network, access to a Windows server is required. cadett ELSA can also be installed as a single user system on a local computer.

cadett ELSA was introduced already in 1985, and offers superior security and compatibility. Drawings and projects are fully compatible all the way, without conversion. This is unusual, if not unique, in the industry.

You can buy a perpetual license of cadett ELSA, or rent the software for a shorter or longer period. Renting the software includes updates and support. If you buy the software, you sign a service agreement that covers updates and support.

I'm just getting started with SkyCAD and I'm trying build up the symbol library to meet my need (automotive). I've used the block generator to my equivalent to a PLC and I'm now trying to define the connectors for it.

I've just watched the tutorial for adding connectors but this seems to leave the user to figure out which connector(s) they need to use and then add them to the wires. But my components have built-in connectors that I need to add the mating connectors for (see image). How can I add the appropriate built-in connectors to my symbols?

Currently, all connectors belong the the project they are created in. We will soon introduce a way to make it so a connector can belong to a component, which will allow you to get exactly what you are looking for.

I would like to know if it is possible to add connectors to devices. Also how can I create a connector correctly. It seems that when I create a connector It is not displayed as connector. Actually it erases the reference to the connector. I guess I am doing something wrong.

Hi , i have created a plc the normal way using block generator with all the connection points defined. I've seen how to create a connector, but i dont know how to assign the existing connection points to the new connector?

i dont know how to assign the existing connection points to the new connector?

This cannot be done with the current version.

Currently, you can either use the method in post #13 above, or you can simply name your connections when creating your PLC in the block generator.

Is this feature still only in the beta version? I would be interested to generate connectors with the block generator (our PLC and inverters have connectors). Currently I am able to add connector pins outside of the block generator (in my drawing) but not inside of the component editing interface.
