SPAC Automazione Functionalities
Main Features
SPAC Automazione is a very powerful tool to automate the design and creation of electrical documentation.
The Software comes with a full range of features to address every aspect of electrical design.
Project Management and Multi-Sheets
- Management of projects and Multi-Sheets, without page limits, with full elasticity and speed of design and processing in sheets and between sheets
- Automatic function for recovering drawings when opening
Symbols and regulations
- Multi norm graphic symbols (IEC, VDE, JIC, Single-feed, Electronics etc.)
- Fluid / Pneumatic Schemes
- Graphic libraries Drives / Inverters / Modules
- Suite of quick creation of symbols and redefinition on the schema of modified symbols
Multi Pole and Single Pole
- Powerful and fast commands for multi polar and single-feed schemes design
- Numbering of the conductors both in semi-automatic and automatic mode with the possibility to make the marking according to IEC 391 standards
- Insertion of terminals and connectors, with processing of the connection terminal blocks (also including equipotential, distributors and multilevel terminals with management of metallic and wired jumpers)
- Global and navigable scheme cross-reference with detailed diagnostics
- Dynamic navigator to identify quickly the components on the scheme
- Customizing and Completing Schema Data Using Excel and PlaceHolder
PLC Management
- Graphic library symbols of PLC boards (2D and 3D) from the main manufacturers in the Italian marketplace
- Design of PLC I/O based on a database and dedicated graphic symbols with import/export of the bits used
- PLC drawing starting from a configuration or from an I/O list in an Excel file
- Modular PLC Management with Rack
Materials Management
- Association of product codes with Drag&Drop from the material database of the major brands in the Italian marketplace and fully customizable
- Material database constantly updated and synchronized On-Line via SPAC Data Web (requires the Global Assistance Service)
- Management of used components
- Create Bills of Materials (BOM) automatically that can be updated with configurable outputs both in the drawing and files
- Create documentation of the materials used in the project from technical sheets in PDF format
- Use of estimated bill of materials before the design phase
- Functions to quickly create custom material databases
- Automatisms for the replacement of material items on the scheme
Automatisms and Automatic Controls
- Setting the voltages on the scheme. In this way SPAC can verify the congruence of the connection.
- Export labels for Components, Conductors and Clamps IDs to the most popular marking / printing systems
- Creation of Components QR-Codes
- Bill of materials for wires and multi polar cables
- Creation of grouped bills of materials
- Automatic and updatable tables: Sheets, Symbols, Functions
- Electrical panel wiring table
- 3D Routing of wires in the electrical panel to calculate the conductors' length with paths optimization
- Control of the congruence of sections between Conductors, Cables, Terminals and Connectors
Scheme Table Manager
- Drawing of single-feed diagrams with tables and output data management
Machine configurator
- Automatic schemes creation according to the options selected on the machine configuration
Layout and topographic
- Drawing of the external and internal section of the electrical panel with accessories
- Assisted drawing of the electrical panel interior using Drag&Drop from the list of components to be placed on the metal plate
- Automatic drawing of the pushbutton panel layout (front and back)
- Plant layout in dual mode: Functional Drawing - Plant Layout / Plant Layout - Functional Drawing
- Loop Diagram - list of the connection points (terminal blocks) of a component from the machine mounted panel to the main electrical panel
- Panel Over-Temperature Calculation CEI 17-43
- Drawing of the plate drilling scheme and interface with drilling stations
Import/Export
- Export project data in Excel and import after making the changes required
- Sheet revision management to save and restore previous project versions
- Print and creation of dynamic and navigable PDF files with materials associated and links to On-Line technical data sheets
- From the PDF to the Multi-Sheet DWG
Data exchange interfaces
- Bidirectional data exchange interface between P&ID diagrams (ESApro) and the electrical scheme
- Data exchange interface between the electrical scheme and the layout for cable length calculation inside 3D cable ducts (Cable Trays)
- Data exchange interface with Cabling module for the design of the harness layout
- New commands to see and open tickets on the Opera4SPAC Cloud System
- New document management and deletion on the Cloud
- Machine data consultation in the Cloud (IIoT interfacing with Ixon.Cloud and Opera)
