FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

The answers, to some of the questions you most likely will ask our hotline service (April 2001), are listed below:
Questions about CADdy++ Electrical Engineering

1.1 ? 1.1 ! How is a new project created in CADdy++ ET? It is recommended, that you carry out the Project Example 1 from the beginning. Alternatively, you can see "Creating a new project", where you will be shown how to create a new project.
1.2 ? 1.2 !
How is a new page inserted in a project? Right-click the suggest a page number. in the workspace. CADdy ++ ET will
Alternatively, please refer to Project Example 1, "Create Sheet 1" to see how a new page is inserted.
1.3 ? 1.3 !
How are old symbols loaded from CADdy to CADdy++ ET? First, you must first create a new database for your CADdy symbols. Rightclick the mouse button in the symbol workspace to do so. Then import the symbols from CADdy to CADdy ++ ET. This is done by the function: FILE IMPORT CADdy SYMBOLS.
FAQ C-1
NB! Your symbols cannot be imported to databases that are supplied by CADdy ++ ET. Consequently, you can not initiate an import of a symbol if the active symbol database is for example, EN60617, Danfoss etc.
1.4 ?
Can I load my projects from CADdy ET1 and continue using them with CADdy++ ET? Yes, you use the command: FILE OPEN CADdy DRAWING. All logic, such as cross-references etc., will be transferred to CADdy ++ ET, and you can go on working in the new environment of CADdy ++ ET.

How is a new symbol made in CADdy++ ET? It is recommended, that the instructions of Symbols (chapter J) are to be followed. The fundamental techniques are explained here.
1.6 ? 1.6 !
How do I insert my company name in the drawing frame? Please consult the instructions Templates (chapter K), where an easy stepby-step instruction are located. You can also use the A3-template with 10 paths. The template can be loaded into a new project and collapsed to single drawing elements. Subsequently, the necessary alterations can be done, and everything is assembled to a new drawing frame. This can now be saved as a template, for future use. Drawing frames always have to be saved as templates and never as symbols.
1.7 ?
An electrical connection does not open, when I insert a symbol or close when I delete a symbol? You have drawn a connection between the elements with an ordinary line, instead of using the function 1 Wire Dynamic. Wires are perceived by CADdy ++ ET as electrical connections lines never are!
1.7 !
1.8 ?
Can key functions be used in CADdy++ ET?
C-2 FAQ
1.8 !
Yes, please refer to list of Hotkeys (chapter N).
1.9 ?
If I change the name of one component, other components change their name too. Why? In CADdy ++ ET objects are linked together, if the referencedesignation (the "name") is equal to other objects. Other components change their name, if the name is equal to the one you're changing (since it's the same object!). The principle are described in details in Symbol Dialog (chapter J). Further details are located in PLC Reference Card (chapter J).
1.9 !
1.10 ?
Can I edit data in the database and rewrite the data back into the drawings? Yes, please refer to Manipulating single data (chapter G) or Manipulating multiple data (chapter G). NOTE: A variety of functionalities may appear, depending on which module in CADdy ++ ET you are using.
1.10 !
1.11 ?
Sometimes the database or the graphical lists seem empty, even though the diagrams are correct? Use the function Regenerate Database. The contents of the database is then deleted and generated again directly from the diagrams.
1.11 !
General Questions
2.1 ? 2.1 ! Why is the graphic quality sometimes poor, when I print help files? The quality depends on your printer. A project example is included in CADdy ++ ET.

Workspace
Introduction
The workspace is the area within CADdy ++ , where CADdy ++ has all kinds of documents, like drawings or circuit diagrams from CADdy ++ ET, MS Word texts, MS Excel spreadsheets, AutoCAD drawings etc. In fact, you can use CADdy ++ as a project manager for all documentation in your project. For intelligent implementation of other documents, the respective programs providing other documents must support the Microsoft Active-X technology, and register this in Windows when it is installed. Via ActiveX, icons and menus from the respective programs automatically appear in CADdy ++, when the associated document is opened within CADdy ++. The workspace is saved in a Windows Compound File, which can be described as a file within a file. This means that you can save and process all data in your project as one unit. If you wish to view the file contents, you can either use CADdy ++ ET, or Windows2000.
EXAMPLE: For the documentation of a project, you have to deliver a circuit diagram, drawings, descriptions, calculations, and a couple of pictures. The contents of the workspace could be the following: Circuit diagrams Drawings Description Calculation Pictures from CADdy++ from AutoCAD from MS Word from MS Excel from CorelDraw

Print to file will send the output to a file rather than to the actual printer. Print in colours should be used only if the output device can handle colours. Invert Order makes the sheets printet in reverse order (backwards). Margin for drawing states the offset (in mm) for the output. This is relevant, when the scale (see blow) is stated, and especially when drawing size exceeds A3. For circuit diagrams, the margin should be included in the original drawing, and should not be stated here, since scaling from A3 to A4 will consequently be more precise.
Number of copies can be selected here. If more than one copy is selected, the output can be collated (each copy is printed in a set, before next copy is printed).
E-18 CADdy Commands
On the 0:0 scale CADdy ++ ET calculates the range, so that an A3 page can be printed as a A4 page etc. It is possible to define the scale manually. For example Drawing = 1 and Plot = 2 will reduce the size of the drawing by 50 % on the plot (scale 1:2).
Print range defines the desired output: All prints all documents in the workspace. Active page prints the active page/sheet. Selection provides you with the table of contents for your project. You can use the Window standard when selecting: SHIFT "from page to page", CTRL certain pages or CTRL+A for all pages. Print List displays the user defined Print List (see chapter G). Print List Selection displays the print list as described above, but offers in addition options for further selection to the print range.

Select
EDIT SELECT GROUP/WINDOW F5
This command is used to select one element, a window, or symbol at a time. The chosen elements are highlighted red on the screen.
IN GENERAL CADdy ++ ET operates with a method called selection - action. This means that you first have to choose the element, that you want to process. Secondly, you must choose how you want to process the element. To be able to copy, cut or move elements, the respective command must initially be selected.
ELEMENT The elements in CADdy ++ ET are wires, lines, circles, symbols, etc. You can either choose to process them separately or together. With a little practice, you quickly learn different routines, such as selecting several elements simultaneously, thereafter rejecting the elements which are not to be processed. This exercise is highly recommended since it illustrates the foundation of CADdy ++ ET commands. HINT 1: If you want to select more than one element with this command, press and hold SHIFT, then select the next elements (standard Windows command). If you wish to reject the elements with this command, press and hold SHIFT, then reject the chosen elements.

FONT A vector font or a Windows font can be selected. NOTE: The text in all CAD systems (including CADdy ++ ET) are called vector fonts. A vector font is constructed of small lines. These lines can be seen by magnifying a letter (by zooming). Vector fonts are not the same as "True Type" fonts used by Windows, which you also can choose. The text is made in a matrix of 200 x 200 dots. It is the height and width of the matrix, which is stated in CADdy ++ ET. However, there is no guarantee, that the text you use has the height you define this depends how the individual font is defined in the matrices.
HINT 1:
It is recommended that you use a vector font as format, if you export to the AutoCAD DXF/DWG format.
ISO 3098 IEC 61082 clause 4.1.5 instructs, that ISO 3098/1 B should be used as the text font for all technical drawings and circuit diagrams. This text is delivered in CADdy ++ ET as Vectorfont #1, and must be set as proportional text. HINT 2: IEC 61082 recommends that a minimum height of 2.50 mm is used on all technical drawings. Experience shows that this is the smallest pen width that can be used when faxing, without smudging! As any other format in the ISO standard, each step increases by ISO paper size A4 * 2 = paper size A3.
HINT 3: Ex. 1:

Letter Codes
IEC 61346-2: Classification of objects and codes for classes. The standard introduces a new way of reflecting objects. According to this new standard, objects must be classified in accordance with their purpose or task: The new idea behind this classification always is "what is the real purpose or task of the object", and not "what is the method for implementing the task" or how its physically done". Below, various examples are given. Example 1: A current transformer has the task to pick-up a property from a system and to provide a signal or information that can be further processed. This task is independent from any technical solution of how to do this. The realisation may be done by means of electrical windings in a transformer, but could also be done with an optical current transformer. Whether electrical windings or an optical device are used are of no matter to the classification. The main task is still the same: Converting an input variable into a signal for further processing classified as B. It is of no importance to the classification, that the transformer in practice is picking up the signal by converting (class T) the energy.
NOTE:
Many objects have more than one task, and only one letter must be used as a classification. Use of class A should be avoided, since its not very precise. However, almost any object has a main task, and the most descriptive classification must then be used.
H-12 Standards
Example 2: For controlling the level in a well, two level-switches are used for controlling and one level switch (at top) is used as alarm. In the circuit diagrams, the controlling switches are classified as B, because they convert an input variable (the level) to another signal (on/off) for further processing: If the same type of level switch is used as alarm, the classification of the level switch is still B, since the main task of the object is converting a signal for further processing and not making an alarm.
Example 3: Since the letter codes are classifications, they are intended to cover both electrical and mechanical objects. The purpose of a mechanical manometer is e.g. to show pressure. Therefore its classified as P presenting information. The purpose of an electrical signal lamp is also to present information, and therefore its classified as P too.
HINT 1:
The CADdy ++ ET symbol library EN61346-2 conforms with these classifications.

HINT 1:
If more than one reference name can be used, the most specific name should be applied. For example, use the letter code S on a pushbutton including a signal lamp (on the pushbutton (class S) as well as the signal lamp (class P)), because this is the most important letter (dependent of the function, however).

Symbols
Introduction
You can use the included graphical symbols (according to IEC 60617, similar to EN 60617), when constructing electrical circuit diagrams in CADdy ++ ET. Letter codes (see chapter H) on symbols shall be in accordance with IEC 61346-2 (similar to EN 61346-2). Among other symbol libraries CADdy ++ ET is provided with two similar libraries: EN60617 and EN61346-2. Please refer to Contents on page J-9 for a detailed description. Normally, the symbols found in EN 60617 are sufficient when drawing circuit diagrams. You can also design your own symbols, such as symbols used for more special assignments. This means, that you are able to define your own symbols and save them in your symbol library for later application. HINT 1: If you lack a symbol, you can use a black-box (rectangle, symbol no. 02-01-02 in EN 60617). The rectangle symbolises all kinds of objects. Therefore, it is not necessary to define your own symbols! There are 8 rectangles in the symbol database EN61346-2, which cover 1 8 paths. These symbols are located in the folder General named "Device 1 . 8." There is also a construction-set of boxes in EN61346-2 in the folder General named "Device 1 of 3, Device 2 of 3 and Device 3 of 3. To create one component, each device are inserted and linked together by giving it the same reference designation.
Example: A circuit diagram requires an electrical dimmer (Conson type DC 1000). The dimmer has 14 connections. Choose the symbol "Device 2":
Symbols J-1
The symbol includes all the necessary text reservations. The symbol is illustrated below, displaying some of the text possibilities.
The desired connections can be filled out the same way as other symbols. The special symbol is now completed and documented:
NB:
Letter Codes on these general symbols must be changed in accordance to EN 61346-2 (former IEC 750). For example, "K" in the above illustrated example.
You must start from the beginning or base the new symbol on a similar symbol, when defining a new additional symbol. HINT 2: Reuse a symbol, which resembles the new symbol, so that size, text location etc. will be correct. All symbols in CADdy ++ ET fits into a 5 mm grid. It is recommended, that your own symbols likewise fit into a 5 mm grid.
HINT 3:
The procedures listed below describe, how you can define symbols and save them in the symbol database.
J-2 Symbols
Defining a Symbol
The electrical symbols, when inserted in a drawing, must be defined with properties understood by CADdy ++ ET. All the elements in the symbol must be grouped in order for the symbol to function correctly.
Constructing the Graphics

In the following example, it is illustrated how to define a relay coil. Start by drawing all the graphical elements, which you want in the symbol. You must use the ordinary drawing functions such as Line, Circle, etc. Remember to define the element with the appropriate line width. Insert the symbol's text, when the graphics are finished. You must use the ordinary text functions. You must choose the property of the text, when inserting the text on the symbol.
Quick Guide: 1. Firstly, you have to construct the graphics for the symbol, (example: a relay coil):
You must use the ordinary drawing functions e.g. a Line, when you construct the graphic part. HINT 1: Remember to set the grid size at 5 mm before you start drawing.
2.) Insert the New Text for the symbol and provide them with certain properties.
Symbols J-3
A symbol for a relay coil usually contains the following texts with different properties: - 1 component name (K) - 1 function (empty text) - 1 type (empty text) - 2 connections (A1 and A2)
Quick Guide: 2a.) Choose New Text. The following dialog box will appear:
2b.) Write a text for example. "K" 2c.) Click the Attribute button. 2d.) Choose a property for the text in this case, Name (-): 2e.) Insert the text (right aligned) into the drawing in the correct position. 2f.) Repeat 2e.) when inserting the function and type text.
J-4 Symbols
2g.) Repeat 2e.) when inserting the text for the 2 connections (left aligned). The connections have to be inserted with the attribute connection. NOTE: When inserting a connection, it is important, that the text is placed exactly where the connection to the graphical part is to be located. You can move the actual text later on.
You can find a complete list of text attributes in the section New Text in chapter. 3.) You must now group the elements. Please refer to Group Elements on page J-5.
Group Elements
When you have created the graphics and inserted the text, group the elements.
Quick Guide: 1. Select each element, which will be used in the symbol, by pointing at the element and clicking the left mouse button. You must hold down SHIFT, while you are pointing. OR Frame the elements you want to group (the chosen elements are highlighted red on the screen). 2. Choose the function Group Selected OR Click the right mouse button and choose the function Group Selected. the following dialog box will appear:
3. Assign the symbol with a property, for example a coil.

A complete list of possible symbol properties can be found in: Group Selected in chapter E.
4. Press OK. The elements are now assembled as a symbol. 5. Finally, you must save the symbol. Please refer to: Save Symbol (see page J-6).
Save Symbol
The symbols have to be saved in the symbol database. This can be done, when you have grouped the elements as a symbol. Before you go on, it is a prerequisite, that you have studied following chapters: Constructing the Graphics on page J-3 and Group Elements on page J-5.
Quick Guide: 1. The symbol has to be present on the screen. 2. Select the symbol (highlighted red), and hold the left mouse button down. If you want to save several symbols together, hold SHIFT down, while you are selecting. 3. "Drag" the symbol(s) to the folder in the symbol database, where you want to save it. NOTE: Symbols must be saved in your own symbol database. Avoid changing the symbol databases delivered by CADdy ++ ET, because your alterations will not be saved, when CADdy ++ ET is updated.
4. The following dialog box appears:
5. Type a symbol name and a description if desired. Press OK. 6. The symbol can now be loaded from the symbol database.
J-6 Symbols

Symbol Database
The symbols in CADdy ++ ET are saved in a symbol database in Microsoft Access format. The following section describes how you can manipulate a database and its contents.
Location
The symbol database is always located in the folder which is chosen in the function System Settings (chapter E). The contents of the folder is loaded by CADdy ++ ET, when the program is started. The database contains all information concerning the symbols and has the extension <.CPS>. NOTE: Ensure that you have full access (reading and writing) to the folder, where the symbol database is located. This is important, because CADdy ++ ET locks and releases these while in use.
Manipulating
You have the possibility to change the name of a symbol database, copy or delete a symbol database. This can be done by using Windows Explorer, where you are able to locate the symbol database folder. NOTE: CADdy ++ ET must be closed before you alter the name of the database, copy or delete the database.
Example: You would like to copy the Component Group database and create a new database called Own Components.
Quick Guide: 1.) Close CADdy ++ ET (important!!). 2.) Open Window Explorer and choose the folder, which contains the symbol database. 3.) Find the file: Component Groups.cps.
J-8 Symbols
4.) Click the right mouse button and select Copy. 5.) Click the right mouse button while in another position and select Paste. 6.) The name of the copy can be changed by clicking the left mouse button on the copy and pressing F2. 7.) Type the new name: Own Components and press ENTER. 8.) Open CADdy ++ ET again. 9.) The new database now appears in the Symbols Workspace within CADdy++.
Similarly you are able to change the name of an existing database or delete the database, by using the Windows Explorer.
Contents
The symbols found in the symbol database are divided into folders including different contents. For example there is a symbol database EN61346-2 (or EN60617) containing fuses, sensors, terminals etc. The symbols are located in different folders. The symbols are graphically illustrated in the window below. economy: The Symbol Assistant (see page J-12) allows you to choose and view the entire contents of each symbol folder. The folder is shown graphically on the screen together with a description of each symbol. This gives a comprehensive overview of the symbols.

Symbol Dialog
When symbols are inserted in a diagram, the following possibilities appear: A.) Symbols (components) are named automatically according to the settings in Properties Diagrams. The symbol dialog are not displayed. B.) Symbols like contacts, terminals or plugs requires an input to state their reference designation. The symbol dialog are automatically displayed after each symbol are inserted. C.) For changing or adding information to existing objects, select the Edit Component (see chapter E) function.
The symbol dialog appears in various shapes, and with various contents, depending on the actual type of the symbol and depending on which module of CADdy ++ ET you are using .
A representative example illustrating the connection between the dialog and a symbol are shown below:
CADdy ++ ET provides a special function, which links objects together, if the reference designation (see chapter H) is equal to other objects. This is very powerful, since complex information and complex objects are often spread over more than one sheet, even though it's the same object. CADdy ++ ET lets you spread the information, so the layout of circuit diagrams can be function-orientated (detached representation). NOTE: If the reference designation ("the name") of two objects are equal, it's the same object - and they are linked to one another. This applies if the function (=), the location (+) and the product (-) (the name) are equal. If the function / location are
Symbols J-15
not present, only the product (-) has to be equal to existing reference designations within the project. It's NOT possible to rename an object when it's linked, since this will change the name of all other equal objects with the same referencedesignation. If you want to rename a single object, you must delete it, re-insert it and then select another name for the component.
The following logic appears for each field within the dialog: economy: States the actual Function (=) and / or Location (+) for the component. In general, the information is tipped from the common Page Information (simplifying technique). However, the function and/or location on each symbol often will depart from the common, which has to be shown with text located to the left side of the symbol. CADdy ++ ET provides the following tools for presenting the function and location information: Hide the =/+ information, despite it should be shown.

Auto detect whether the =/+ information shall be shown or hidden due to simplifying technique. Merge the =/+ information into the name (-), so all information is displayed in one line.

PLC Documentation
General
Up till now, the typical way of drawing PLC cards has been to draw it the-way-it-looks, e.g.:
However, this is basically not in accordance with IEC 61082, since a circuit diagram consist of symbols, and the example above is a real drawing (within the circuit diagram). Another problem with drawing a PLC the-way-it-looks is, that you must have a drawing of any PLC you intend to use present, before drawing. You might even have to make a new drawing for each new PLC you want! We have provided our product with the right and very simple solution: A PLC represented by either one symbol with max. 8 channels, or an unlimited construction-set of three symbols, in which you can document any PLC you wish. The symbol we suggest is no. 02-01-02 in IEC 60617. The symbol itself represents an object, and is recognised as a PLC by adding various texts, a reference designation (classification) and maybe additional graphics (option). As something unique in our product, its possible to link symbols with one-another, to create one component: This technique is basically used when making PLCs with more than 8 channels. In the next chapter we have provided an example of the correct documentation for a PLC, and we recommend that you implement this technique yourself, since its easy to use and timesaving.
J-18 Symbols
NOTE:
The reference designation (e.g. -K2) combined with the symbol(s) illustrates the PLC and not a drawing. Please note, that PLCs are classified with a D in former IEC 750, and with a K in the new EN 61346-2 table 1. Please refer to Letter Codes in chapter H. This is incorporated in the symbol libraries.
The symbols shown in the next chapters are all you need to make a complete documentation of your specific PLC.
NOTE: All PLC symbols shipped with our product fits on A3 paper in a path of 40 mm designed in grid size 5 mm.

PLC Signal Card

A signal card is a symbol, which corresponds with a PLC Reference Card (see page J-21) just like a contact corresponds with the relay coil. However, the PLC signals are more advanced, since both reference designation and the terminals must be equal before a cross-reference is made. The signal card is inserted anywhere needed in the circuit diagrams.
PLC Signal Card:
NOTE: The symbol fits in 40 mm path. 1: 2: 3: 4: Description (e.g. START MOTOR) PLC address (option). Applies in the PLC I/O list PLC Operand (e.g. A1.1). Reference designation (Function =, location +, and product -) for the reference card. Must be equal to #6 in the reference card. 5: Signal terminal. Corresponds with #11 in the reference card.

PLC Reference Card

A reference card is a symbol, which includes all information concerning I/O, common powersupply, bus connections etc. The reference card tracks all used PLC Signal Cards (see page J-20) and inserts the crossreference to each signal just like a relay coil corresponds with the contacts. However the PLC reference card and signals are more advanced, since both reference designation and the terminals must be equal before a cross-reference is made. (see next page)

Templates
Introduction
Templates can be an important part of a project. A template can be a drawing-sheet, complete circuits diagrams, or anything else you want on your drawing. The templates may be constructed from the beginning, or you can use a drawing-sheet included in the CADdy ++ ET program. The drawing-sheet can then be changed as desired. For example, a logo can be inserted into a standard drawing-sheet. There is distinguished between project templates of one or more pages, or drawing templates on one page.
Workspace Template
The project template can contain one or more pages. Every page is based on a Page Template (please refer to section Page Template ). The project templates are saved in the folder Templates in System Settings with the function Workspace Template (Save as). The project template is opened, when you create a New Workspace. You can now choose between all the project templates in the dialog box:
Templates K-1
(NOTE: Various contents of the dialog may appear). A project template is the basis of every new project: The contents of a project template can be a A4-format cover-sheet, a couple of circuit diagrams in A3-format, and an empty page to draw on, for example. The project templates contain the settings of the graphical lists etc. You determine the contents and extent of a project template. The template can vary in size and substance. When working with CADdy ++ ET, time can be saved if the right contents is combined in the templates. Please refer to Create a new Project in Project Example 1 (chapter L).
Page Template
Page-templates always consist of one page and are mainly used for defining drawing-sheets and graphical lists (list of terminals, list of cables, etc.). Besides the drawing-sheet, the page-template can contain a circuit diagram, which can be inserted as a unit on a new sheet in your project. The drawing templates can be opened and saved by using the following functions: Page Template (Save as) and Open Page Template.
Drawing Sheet
Typically, you will need to define one or more standard drawing-sheets. These sheets are saved as a Page Template
K-2 Templates
A template with a drawing-sheet will function correctly if all elements in the template are grouped and designed as a Drawing Sheet. The easiest method is to use the included page-templates and hereafter add company name, logo etc. A drawing-sheet can also be created from the beginning. HINT 1: It is recommended that you use a sheet in A3-format with 10 paths numbered from 09.
Following are descriptions of different possibilities when designing drawing-sheets.
CADdy ++ ET Drawing Sheet

You can choose a standard CADdy ++ ET drawing-sheet and add your company name and logo. The CADdy ++ ET templates suggest a number of different drawing-sheets. The standard CADdy ++ ET drawing-sheets are made in accordance to current standards (EN 61082-1). All the suggested drawing-sheets are in ISO A3-format and are intended to be printed in ISO A4-format, where holes etc. are taken into consideration.
Quick Guide: 1.) Create a New Workspace, and choose a suitable template. 2.) Create a New Page. 3.) Select All elements (CTRL + A) on the drawing. 4.) Ungroup Selected (drawing-sheet) to single elements. 5.) Insert company name, logo etc. in the lower left corner of the drawing sheet
Hint 1:
You can insert logo etc. as OLE objects, or you can import these via AutoCAD DXF or DWG format. It is recommended that you insert a logo etc. as graphics. In a drawing, OLE objects take up considerably more space than graphics. Besides, it is easier to convert CADdy ++ ET to DWG format, when you use graphics.
Hint 2:

Project Example 1
Introduction
With this project example, you will gain experience using CADdy ++ ET and at the same time learn the fundamental CADdy ++ ET functions. The following project is an example of a project consisting of two circuit diagrams. The first sheet contains a circuit diagram for supplying a motor (power circuit). The second sheet contains a circuit diagram for controlling a motor (control circuit). Please note that the electrical construction, which you will draw is only an exercise and wouldnt be able to function in reality. In the sheets, you must insert electrical symbols that are connected to each other with wires. NOTE: There is a big difference between drawing lines and wires. Wires are regarded by CADdy ++ ET as real electrical connections lines are not.

Prepare CADdy++ ET to work with symbols: In the dialog box on the left hand side of the workspace, press SYMBOLS as shown below:
(NOTE: Various contents within the dialog may appear). Select Symbol Database CADdy ++ ET symbols are divided into symbol databases.
There is a database of graphical symbols for diagrams according to IEC 60617, IEC 61082 and IEC 61346-2 (similar to EN 60617, EN 61082 and EN 61346-2). Other symbol databases includes symbols for the layout of switch-boards from Danfoss, Siemens, etc. Select the database that contains the symbols, you wish to work with. In this case, select the EN61346-2UK (please refer to Standards in chapter F.) The symbol database is divided into different folders such as relay coils, transformers and motors. Select the folder for the specific symbol you wish to work with. Then select the symbol and insert it in the circuit diagram. 2C 2C + Symbol database Symbol folder Select the symbol you want to use
The symbols are shown in numerical/alphabetical order. When the cursor points at the symbol name, it will appear graphically in the window at the bottom of the dialog box. Drag the symbol with the cursor to the desired place in the sheet. HINT 1: The symbols are automatically named as: CODE/NUMBER at the same moment they are placed in the sheet. This does not apply for certain symbols, e.g. cables, terminal blocks and contacts. In these case, you must define the association yourself.
Example: Protective device (F) is inserted on sheet 1 in path 3. CADdy ++ ET names the protective device F1, if the protective device is the first inserted in the project. NB: According to EN 61346, a symbol (object) must be named with a minus (-) as prefix to the name to verify that it is a product (ex. a relay).
A minus sign will not be used in this project example when naming the symbols. You can choose to add a minus sign in front of every symbol if you wish.
Please refer to: Letter Codes for objects in chapter F.

Connect Symbols on Sheet 1

You will now connect the inserted symbols with each other. NB: There is a big difference between drawing lines and wires. Wires are regarded by CADdy ++ ET as real electrical connections - lines are not. CADdy ++ ET automatically inserts contact points, when you connect the symbols with each other. Therefore, the symbols are always connected with wires as if they were real components.

Sheet 2 Illustrated
Congratulations! You have now completed the second sheet in the project example. The sheet is illustrated below :
Project Example 2
Introduction
CADdy ++ ET economy: Project Example 2 is intended for experienced CADdy ++ ET users that either have completed Project Example 1, or users that have a background knowledge of constructing electrical circuit diagrams. It is an advantage, if you have basic knowledge of the standards for symbols on electrical engineering drawings. In this project example, there is special emphasis on the technical review of a specific project. The purpose of the project is not to draw the diagrams from the beginning, but to enlighten you with some of the special functions that CADdy ++ ET manages. Project Example 2 expires the technique of function (=) and location (+) as described in EN 61346-1. Classification of objects; functions (=) as well as components (-), are in accordance with EN 61346-2 table 1. You will find a complete edition of project example 2 in the project folder PROJECTS.
Reference Designation
This chapter introduces the philosophy of reference designation: The function (=), location (+) and product (-) aspect as described in EN 61346-1.
Definition
A reference system is typical a number and letter system. It enables simple and precise orientation in a factory or in machinery, for example. The reference system must be based on the international standard IEC 61346-1.
Project Example 2 M-1
This standard states that the three prefix signs =, + and - can be used to construct a system, which inspects an object. An object can be a component, machine or installation, for example. The prefix signs can be provided with a combination of letters and numbers, which indicate a specific and unique technical description. Therefore, these signs are independent of profession and sub-suppliers language.
A reference system is therefore a correct technical abbreviation used to describe the construction, function and location of the machinery.
NOTE:
It is of great importance to note, that the three prefix signs =, + and - each and individually carries the respective information about an objects function (=), location (+) and product (-), and that each information is not dependent on any other.
With a little preparation, the system can be constructed, so that later changes, such as expansions and dismantling can be added easily.
Example
The factory Production Ltd. wishes to describe a section of a process, which produces slices. The process includes Blockpress no. II, which is physically located in the production hall. Without a reference system, it would be necessary in writing to describe following: - the Blockpress II is part of a larger process, - an explanation of the entire process,
and the physical location of the blockpress. For example, the written description of the placement of the blockpress would be, the blockpress is placed in the production hall beside the other blockpresses. This description is not very precise, and therefore can be easily misunderstood. Employees, who are at the factory on a daily basis, would be able to understand this description. However, guest workers, technical documentation and computer based maintenance would have difficulty comprehending long written descriptions.
M-2 Project Example 2
If a reference designation system is established, the above description could be as follows: =T1=R2 +11A2
=T1=R2 explains that blockpress 2 (R2) is part of a process (T1), which stabilises material forms. +11A2 is the precise physical location (for example, a co-ordinate or zone) that cannot be misunderstood. Likewise, components can be named. This is done by using -, which indicates that it is a product. It is an advantage that letter codes in a reference system are in accordance to the new standard; EN 61346-2 table 1 and 2.
CE-marking
According to EN 60204-1 clause18, electrical equipment of machines must have a reference designation system in accordance with EN 61346-1. A reference system gives an excellent overview of the complete installation and facilitates the compulsory account required by the Machine Directive.
Empirical advantages
A factory or a machine will typically need a reference system, when the installation or machinery is of a certain size. However, this need could apply to nearly all factories. If the system is well structured and thorough, following is accomplished: 1.) All professions speak the same language, because everyone refers to the same system. The documentation for all of the installations is understandable and accessible. New workers and guest workers etc. can easily be guided to understand complex installations.
2.) 3.)
4.) 5.)
The location of the components is 100 % clear. A systematic computerised maintenance is possible.
Experience shows that there are certain economical and practical advantages, by using a reference system from the beginning of a project, in contrast to establishing it later on in the process.
Abbreviations
In Example Project 2 you can see, that the following reference designations appears:
Function (=) structure

Within the function structure, you will find the following: =E1 =G1 =K1 =V1 =V2 =X1 Lightning and outlets Power Supply Control unit (PLC) Process 1 Process 2 Terminals for external connections
NOTE:
In this example, all lettercodes in the function structure above are in accordance with EN 61346-2 table 1.
Location (+) structure

Within the location structure, you will find the following:
M-4 Project Example 2
+A1
Incoming power cabinet and power distribution. Components regarding the process 1 and 2 (=V1 and =V2) are also located here. PLC cabinet. Physically separated from +A1 and +A3 due to EMC. Cabinet for common installations such as outlets and lightning system. Physically separated from +A1 and +A2. Cabinet for PLC (=K1) and other controlling devices.
+A2 +A3
+A4
NOTE:
In this example, all lettercodes in the location structure above are fiction. Still, the lettercode A indicates two or more functions in accordance with EN 61346-2 table 1.
Product (-) structure

On the left side of each component you will find a product code (-) and a number. These product codes are in accordance with EN 61346-2 table 1, and describes the purpose of the object. In Example Project 2, the numbers describe the sheet and path where the component is documented. For example: "-K125": means relay (K) + sheet (12) + path (5). In this case, the element can be found on sheet 12 path 5. Please note, that this numbering only is suitable for sheets with a maximum of 10 paths of 1 digit each, e.g. path 09., path 18 etc. The maximum of 1 digit in the path avoids confusion.

Glossary of Terms
ActiveX
Microsoft ActiveX is a relatively new concept. It covers an advanced opportunity to use data from different programs. It is therefore possible to open one program while in another. For example, it is possible to open a Microsoft Word document with buttons and menus while using CADdy ++ ET or vice versa. The whole workspace can be saved as a compound file. The programs will automatically add their format to Windows, if they support the ActiveX technology.
Automatic text
An Automatic text is a text which is generated by CADdy ++ ET. This could for example be the cross references beneath the relay coils.

EN/IEC 61082-1 clause 2.2.1.10, circuit diagram: Diagram showing the implementation of the circuits of a system, subsystem, installation, part, equipment etc., depicting parts and connections by means of graphical symbols arranged to show the functions but without necessarily talking into account the physical sizes, shapes, or locations of the items.
Compound
A compound file is a file within a file, introduced by Microsoft 2000. This enables you to save all data from different programs within the same file.
DWG
AutoCAD standard format. Besides AutoCAD, there is a group ("Open DWG Alliance"), that can save in this format. Most CAD programs are included in this group.
Glossary of Terms Y-1
DXF (Data Exchange Format)

An exchange format that can be considered as a standard for the exchange of drawings. The exchange works with the help of coordinates and is suited for lines etc. The logic, if any, is not transferred between the systems via this format.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions is where you can find the answer to the most commonly asked questions, in this case concerning CADdy ++ ET.
Function Groups
A way of handling information within the documentation. The trick is to divide information into separate groups (e.g. power supply, control device, emergency stops etc.), and draw/construct each of them separately. Each function must begin with the prefix = (function) in accordance with EN 61346. Please refer to Example Project 2, where a basic introduction is given.
Index
An index is a supplement to a page number. With CADdy ++ ET you can optionally choose different indexes, for example "2A", "2AA". 2B" etc.
OLE
OLE objects give you the possibility of inserting other documents into a CADdy ++ ET drawing. For example, a Microsoft Word document can be inserted into a CADdy ++ ET drawing, and likewise a picture (or photo) be inserted into Word or CADdy ++ ET. The programs will automatically add their format to Windows, if they support the OLE technology.
Template
A template is a drawing or a project which can be opened in CADdy ++ ET and worked with. The template can be empty, or consist of circuit diagrams.
Terminal Index
The sorting index that is used to decide the order of terminals in a terminal strip. CADdy ++ ET automatically counts + 1 for the next terminal. If the sorting index is identical (for example 1) on all terminals, then they will be arranged according to terminal name.
Vector Font
A vector font is a CAD font, which is constructed of small lines.
The text is made in a matrix of 200 x 200 dots. It is the height and width of the matrix, which is stated in CADdy ++ ET. The text in a vector font is somewhat angular in comparison to Windows true-type font. On the contrary, the vector font ISO 3098 is the only well defined text font, which can be used on technical drawings according to EN 61082. If you have to exchange drawings with other formats than CADdy ++ ET, it is recommended, that you use vector font instead of truetype font.
Windows META file

A META file is a file within the Windows format, which can be read and understood by an increasing number of Windows programs. This format can easily exchange drawings and data with other programs.
Work Space
An area where CADdy ++ ET has all kinds of documents, like drawings or circuit diagrams from CADdy ++ ET, Word texts, Excel spreadsheets, AutoCAD drawings etc.
