A.1. THE WORKSPACE

A Project in SEE Electrical contains at first circuit diagrams. Graphical lists are generated automatically using the diagram information, for example:

– List of products – List of terminals – List of PLC – List of wires

(10)

– List of cables – List of documents – etc.

Project data is used for the generation of the graphical list of terminals (in standard level, terminal matrix, too), list of cables and list of products.

You can create drawings for cabinets or installations within one project.

SEE Electrical contains several modules that provide functions for drawing circuit diagrams, installations, or cabinets. The availability of the appropriate module enables the realization of the examples.

Other documents can be added to the workspace in the Other documents area, for example WinWord files or Excel spreadsheets.

After starting SEE Electrical, two areas appear on the screen by default.

The Workspace/Symbols area is located on the left hand side in the SEE Electrical window. The drawing area is located on the right hand side in the SEE Electrical window.

(11)

You can toggle between Workspace and Symbols.

C.8. USING CROSS-REFERENCE SYMBOLS

If a wire cannot be drawn on the same page, symbols for cross-references are used. Cross-reference symbols are available in a symbol database ENENENEN… in the References References References References folder. Only two cross-references may receive one and the same name because a definite reference is required. The look of the cross-reference symbols is not important. The connection of two cross-cross-reference symbols is possible via the component name.

(49)

choose Reference (righReference (righReference (righReference (right)t)t)t). Insert it and type the component name, for example V1.

• Switch to page 2. Select the Reference (left)Reference (left)Reference (left) symbol from the symbol libraries ENReference (left) ENENEN.... . . . Place it and type the name V1 again. At both cross-references, a back-reference to the corresponding reference is created automatically.

You can connect the cross-reference symbols using Draw > Draw > Draw > Wire(s) Draw >Wire(s)Wire(s)Wire(s) > 1 Wire Wire Wire Wire

Exercise 3----38:38:38:38: A cross-reference can be used for the Power supply, too.

C.9. USING INFO TEXT SYMBOLS

If wires begin or end as shown below, i.e. if your responsibility breaks at the end of a wire, this wire has no target for SEE Electrical. The terminals of the terminal strip X0 have no target either.

(51)

However, if you insert an info text symbol (it consist of graphics, a connection point, and a component name) at the end of the wire, the wire, and herewith the terminal, has a target again.

C.10. PAGE INDEX

If an installation has been just built, it is often necessary to add pages in order to add additional circuit parts in the project. If a page numbering for the component names is used, then the names of already installed components must not be changed.

The page index allows inserting pages without changing the numbers of the existing ones.

CREATING COMPONENTS

Components for circuit diagrams must be created in accordance to explicit rules in order to identify the connections and to manage the components properly. For example, a contact cannot be listed in the Product list.

F.1. CREATE A COMPONENT: EXAMPLE

Using the example of the black box we illustrate how to create components.

Hints Hints Hints

Hints: It is recommended to set a 5 mm grid for the drawing of circuit diagrams. You can draw new components using a grid of 5mm, 2,5 mm or less. Make sure that the created symbol fits into a 5 mm grid, i.e. the connections have to end at appropriate grid points. You can set the grid via Toolbars. There is a function under Toolbars for showing the grid.

The line width should be controlled. The line width for drawing connections must be identical with the line width for drawing wires. Most included symbols are drawn using a 0,25mm line width.

Exercise 7----1:1:1:1: Draw the graphics for the component. You must use only the ordinary drawing functions, such as Line, Rectangle, Circle etc., but not wires!

• Create a new page in your workspace using the given functions. • Construct the graphics.

1.M Draw

2.M Rectangle

• Draw a rectangle with width 20 mm and height 5 mm. This is possible on the default grid of 5mm. The width and height of the rectangle are shown beneath the drawing area as you draw.

(67)

4.+ Left-click the right bottom corner point for the rectangle. 5. Right-click to quit drawing the rectangle.

6.M Draw

7.M Line

• Draw two connection lines above and below the rectangle. These connection lines should be 5 mm long. The length of the lines is shown beneath the drawing area as you draw.

8.+ Left-click the starting point of the line. 9.+ Left-click the second line point.

10. Right-click to finish, do not draw a polygon. Afterwards, you can draw the next line. 11.+ Select the starting point.

12.+ Select the second point. etc.

• Right-click to finish drawing, do not draw a polygon. • Right-click to finish drawing, you must not draw more lines.

Exercise 7----2222:::: Define the symbol.

The graphics must be defined as a symbol. 1.M Edit

3.+ Left-click the first point of the frame.

The frame (rectangle) must include all of the graphics. 4.+ Click the second point of the frame.

5. Right-click.

(68)

7.> Block/Component definition

• Choose the desired property for the symbol.

8.> OK

The chosen Block/Component definition determines the kind of database list or graphical list where the symbol will be listed. A contact cross appears beneath CoilCoilCoil symbols, but not beneath Coil Component

Component Component

Component symbols.

9.# A

• Assign the letter code to the component name. 10.> OK

The graphics has been now completed with texts for the name, description, type and connections. The graphics and the texts have been grouped as a symbol ComponentComponentComponentComponent.

The letter code AAAA for the component is replaced with the right identification of the component, for example 2222A8A8A8A8.

Hints for the automatically located connections Hints for the automatically located connections Hints for the automatically located connections

Hints for the automatically located connections: Connection points are located automatically at all of the lines, which stick out of the symbol horizontally or vertically (they are surrounded by an imaginary rectangle).

(69)

At the diode, there are too many connections. In the following tasks, you will learn how to delete these connections.

– If a symbol already has connections, no other connections will be automatically placed

(otherwise the diode connections could never be removed). In this case you must, for example, copy the existing connections.

– The order of placing the connection points corresponds to the order of creating the lines (drawing or copying).

– The default settings for the automatically inserted texts are made in the symbol library SYSTEMSYSTEMSYSTEM.SYSTEM

Exercise 7xercise 7xercise 7xercise 7----3:3:3:3: Save the symbol in the symbol library.

If the new symbol is used not only in the current workspace, but it must be available for future projects, you must save it in the symbol library. If the new symbol is used only in the current workspace or it will be copied from the current page into another place if needed, it is not necessary to save it in the symbol library.
