Introduction
General
Introduction
With WSCAD 5 you have chosen one of the most advanced programs to create
electrical schematic drawings, with an excellent price/performance ratio.
WSCAD 5 is already being used successfully by more than 25.000 users worldwide.
Careful consideration has been given to user-friendliness and simplicity
The easy-to-use On-line Help of WSCAD 5 gives instant on-screen
answers to your questions.
WSCAD 5 is undoubtedly one of the most effective CAD programs you can
buy. You have instant access to all the functions and you can browse through your
drawings easily, but most important, the program’s simplicity of operation and
rapid processing enable you to produce extensive projects in a very short
time. Whatever you are doing, WSCAD 5 shows you the simplest way to
accomplish your task. Clear menus, and the additional online information of the two
mouse buttons functions makes WSCAD 5 a very easy program to use.
The challenge of combining versatility of functions with great simplicity of use has
been fully met in WSCAD 5. It provides you with all common functions of a CAD
software program for generating electrical schematics (and some unusual ones as
well), for example: loading symbols from libraries, combining them, creating new
symbols, … .
In addition, WSCAD 5 offers you much more! With functions such as subsequent
rotation, mirroring, copying, moving, automatic assignment of reference numbers,
automatic cross-references, free-form design of drawing frames, universal list
generation, fully automatic contactor management, PLC manager and versatile
configuration options you have all the features of a powerful circuit diagram
generation program. And this list is by no far complete.
On top of this we are constantly working to develop the program. Apart from the
creativity of our programmers, feedback from users is an essential part of
development. Please do not hesitate to give us your comments and suggestions at
any time!
Some comments about software protection: Due to previous experience, we are
forced to deliver our software with a dongle. This may be a new situation for you,
but this protection provides security for the program and enables us to maintain a
low price, by providing a high degree of performance and functionality at the same
time.
For security reasons, it is possible to make as many copies of the original files as
you like and install them on several other PCs. However, you can only use the
program if the dongle is connected to one of the PC’s parallel or USB ports.

Features
General Information about WSCAD 5
WSCAD is modular structured, there fore you are able to start with the Basic -
version and, at a later time, expand it to a higher-version (Compact or
Professional) with more features. Drawings that have been made with a lower
version are fully compatible with higher versions.
The three software modules of WSCAD 5 which are build up on each other
containing a tried and tested range of functions.
The Basic version is particularly suitable for commissioning, when the planning
itself was already completed and no more major alterations are anticipated. It is
equally well suited to the creation of smaller and less extensive projects.
The Compact version is often found in the maintenance department. The strength
of the Compact version is in the adaptable circuit design, such as when an
installation or machine already exists and needs modifications. In addition, this
version is especially suitable for the creation of diagrams for small to medium-sized
projects. Various automatic functions are available, such as cross-referencing,
terminal charts, numbering and contact mirroring.
The Professional version is used in the planning, development and
documentation of new projects. Here the user has at his disposal an extensive
range of powerful online and monitoring functions which are indispensable in the
creation of new projects. Errors are eliminated from the beginning and productivity
is increased.
It does not matter with which version you will start with. There are no restrictions
on upgrading from a lower module to a higher one. Single-user licences or network
licences with common access to project data, database and libraries, or
combinations of these, offer a systems-oriented method of working.

Working with WSCAD 5
Restrictions of the Demo version
The Demo version of WSCAD 5 has all features of the Professional version (if
you select this option), including all automatic functions such as contactor
manager, database links, cross references, numbering and so on. Only the output
functions (Printer, DXF/VNS-export) are restricted. Please select after inserting
Demo CD the option "start WSCAD 5.2 demo setup" .
After a view steps you're able to choose the feature you will work with.
11

Getting Started
With the Demo version only a few libraries are installed, containing the
components required for the practice example plus some general components. The
full licence version contains very comprehensive libraries with over 1000
symbols, and the Professional version includes more than 250 varied contact
combs, as well as several hundred mechanical components for the control cabinet
layout.
Similarly the database contains only those entries which are needed for the practice
example. The Professional version contains a very comprehensive database with
thousands of parts from various manufacturers.
Warning
Drawings which are created or modified with the Demo version cannot be
edited with a full licence version. So take care!
This demonstration manual is only a brief description of the program and contains a
short example, some information about the installation and some general hints for
using the program. You have full access to the on-line help files of WSCAD 5.
12

Starting WSCAD 5
Working with WSCAD 5
After installation has been successful completed you will find the program group
'WSCAD 5. on your screen. You will see icons for the program, on-line help, the
Read me file and the Uninstall program. You will also find icons for the WSCAD
file viewer WSVIEW and the associated help file.
WSCAD
5.2
Demo
To start WSCAD double click on the icon created on the desktop during
installation.
Screen layout
After starting WSCAD 5, the screen typically looks as shown below:
The pull down menus
With the pull down menus you can select appropriate commands, or you have
access to some of the most frequently used commands by clicking on an icon
button. To see what the icons mean, just position the mouse pointer on each one in
turn to reveal the ‘tool tip’ fly-out.
13

Getting Started
The mouse pointer/cursor arrow
Grid
The arrow or cursor location determines the actual position within the drawing. You
can position the arrow or cursor with the mouse. In addition you can position with
the cursor keys or by type in the specific co-ordinates. It is also possible to change
the format of the cursor (e.g. to a crosshair) by using 'Settings - Options'.
As a drawing aid, a grid can be displayed if required by turning it on or off with the
function key . The grid spacing can be set ('Settings - Options'), the default
spacing is 2.5 mm. Components are created to match the grid and automatic
connection requires components to be in line with each other, it is helpful to keep
the grid displayed and switch the Snap Mode 'on' with the function key .
Mouse button functions
The functions of the left and right mouse buttons are always displayed by the little
yellow mouse at the bottom of the screen. This makes WSCAD much more easier
to use. It is helpful to have a look at them frequently! The left button
(corresponding to the key) is used typically to execute a command. The
right button (corresponding to the key) is typically used to exit a
command or to activate the property menu.
Free memory
The capacity of free memory is shown as a percentage, on the right bottom edge of
the WSCAD window. If available memory is getting low, the 'Compress' command
in File menu should help to increase the memory capacity.
Drawing co-ordinate (Path)
To locate components in a drawing easily, the drawing is divided into numbered
vertical strips, numbered horizontally, and this number is known as the vertical
path. The width of each strip and the numbering sequence are set in 'Settings -
Common Settings - Cross reference'. It is this path number that is used, along
with the sheet number, to indicate the location of a cross referenced element.
14

File names
Enter for example an 'A' as first vertical sign.
Working with WSCAD 5
In the centre at the bottom of the screen, next to the current sheet size, is a
number and letter that indicates the grid reference of the drawing that the cursor is
currently located in.
The top bar of the Windows screen displays the name of the current project and of
the active drawing. If you are working in the symbol editor or selecting a
component from the library, you will see the name of the active library in this field,
instead of the drawing file name.
Common input field
When inserting text or co-ordinates with the keyboard, you will see these values
appear in a box at the bottom of the screen.
Status and prompt display
At the lower left hand side of the screen, there is a box that displays the status of
settings and commands. The letters (S, O, A) are displayed when the corresponding
function is activated.
15

Getting Started
16
The status display contains:
Snap function on/off 'S' as 1st character
Ortho Mode on/off 'O' as 2nd character
Auto.-connecting on/off 'A' as 3rd character
Mouse operation
When working with a graphical user interface such as Windows it is normal to work
with the mouse to move the cursor. However the cursor can also be used for other
tasks as e.g. inserting components.
One click with the left mouse button indicates a positive confirmation. The
internal functions of WSCAD 5 allow the right button to be used for cancelling, as
in the earlier version, but not in case of the main menu, because this is not
compatible with standard Windows functions.
Moving and sizing of individual windows are normal parts of the Windows operation
and the form of the cursor gives visual hints on how to do.
The right mouse button gives you also access to a very important function of the
program. When you position the cursor on any object, and click the right mouse
button, you will see a specific menu displaying the characteristics of the selected
object. This applies not only to elements within the drawings but also to the buttons
on the toolbars.
You can use the mouse to mark an area (rectangle) of the drawing to (for example)
move or copy the selected components.
If you want to select a particular area of a drawing window to edit or to copy it,
you can do by using the mouse. Click with the left mouse button on a corner of the
desired area, hold the mouse button down and move the cursor with the
mouse. This will cause a rectangle to be drawn and when the mouse button is
released all components within the rectangle will be shown highlighted. Then you
can apply the copy command to this area. To cancel the selection you simply click
anywhere in the drawing window.
Another useful feature is 'Panning', which moves the whole picture in the drawing
window when the cursor bumps against the side of the window. However this
function is only activated by holding the key down, or when you are
loading a symbol or drawing a line. This prevents the screen from ‘panning’ every
time you move the mouse towards the menus or toolbars.
The Object properties concept provides a new and very fundamental feature. A
click with the right mouse button opens a menu, which relates exactly to the object
on which the cursor is located. For example, if the object is a component, you will
get the component parameters menu and its applicable commands, if you click near
a command toolbar you can switch them on and off. By using this feature
frequently you will soon come to appreciate it’s usefulness!
Mouse wheel zoom
On the basis of the current cursor position the representation is constantly
increased and/or reduced depending upon direction of rotation, which picture
shifted after possibility in such a way that the cursor position becomes the picture

Working with WSCAD 5
centre. The function is activated and/or deactivated through to press on the mouse
wheel. An identical effect as over mouse wheel tricks you obtain with + and - keys
Function keys
Even with a graphical interface the function keys should not be forgotten, as they
can also be used to give fast access to frequently used commands. For instance you
will often find the key very useful for fitting your drawing to the current
window, and for rapid Zooming, for Snap mode switching or
for Grid display switching.
Every experienced Windows user, will of course, already be familiar with function
key: for On-line help or WebHelp which will give access to the whole of the
reference manual and there are also “topical” hints and tips.
The full list of the available function keys is shown below:
Key Function
On-line help
Zoom in at the cursor (enlarge picture)
Zoom out (reduce picture)
Zoom Extents (fill the window
completely)
- Scale the display 1:1
- Quit WSCAD
Toggle Snap mode on/off
Toggle Orthogonal mode on/off
Toggle Grid display on/off
Display co-ordinates in mm/inches
Cursor zero point absolute/relative
Auto-connection on/off
Redraw current window
Full screen mode on/off
Hint
Don’t forget when you install the demo version you also get the complete
Online Help of the licence version. This means that you can access virtually
the whole of the reference manual.
17

Getting Started
General
In addition to normal text input and the function keys, you can also access all the
menu commands from the keyboard: simply press the key and the
underlined letters from the menu. You also use the key to quit operations
even in Windows.
Important keyboard functions
There are also some further keyboard functions that are very important:
• The four cursor keys are equivalent to the mouse functions during drawing
operations. Sometimes it is more easy to use these keys instead of the mouse for
positioning. Holding down the key speeds up the cursor movement.
• In most cases, the key has the same function as the left mouse button.
• With or you can move through the individual sheets
in a set of drawings.
• With you can copy the components of a selected area (see “Mouse
operation”), i.e. these components are transferred to a temporary file and onto
the Windows clipboard.
• With or you can re-insert this temporary file. This is the same
as the command ‘insert block’.
• With or you can delete the elements in the selected area.
• With you can activate the UNDO function.
Hint
If you want to enter new text, and text is already entered in the text entry
window, it is automatically selected and shown as an inverse highlight. If
you wish to keep the pre-entered text and just modify it, you either
position the cursor at the appropriate point and press the left mouse
button, or press the key or the key. If you enter
new text directly, the selected text is immediately erased. Previous entered
text you can select by clicking the arrow down button located right of the
text edit line.
Special key combinations
When drawing with destination wiring symbols (DW) the following Shortcuts are
available:
18
Shortcut DW Elements

right arrow T right
- up arrow T-top
- down arrow T-bottom
- left arrow Arrows

- up arrow Angles
- down arrow "

Configuring the screen layout
Working with WSCAD 5
The command toolbars and the library toolbars can be docked against the other
side of the screen or placed as a free-standing window. You can try this
easily: move the cursor onto a toolbar (but not onto a button), press the left mouse
button and then move the cursor, keeping the mouse button pressed. The new
position of the toolbar appears in outline and as soon as you release the mouse
button the toolbar appears in this position.
If you click once with the right mouse button on the area beside a docked toolbar or
in the window header, you will get a small menu that gives you (e.g.) a list of all
available library toolbars. With one mouse click you can activate or hide a library
toolbar.
Of course you can configure the toolbars: If you click with the right mouse button
on a button, you can immediately insert a new button (or a separator) in this
position. Click on the new button, select ‚Record’ and then use the relevant
command from the menu bar. The command is accepted and its icon appears on
the button.
The buttons of the command toolbar have preset icons, but for icons on the symbol
toolbars you have a completely free hand. The button is assigned via the
Component Editor, because each button must be assigned to both a component
name and a library. You can ‚snapshot’ the relevant icon out of the component
editor and apply different background colours if you wish.
Hint
You can design the buttons on the library toolbars by yourself, using the
symbol editor.
The above description has been kept deliberately simple. If you would like to know
more, please use the Online Help. Look in the section 'Working with WSCAD 5' to
find further information on the individual elements of the screen layout. In the
section 'Settings – Configure Screen' you will find a detailed description of
creating and managing the toolbars.
19

Design capture
General
In this chapter, you will learn about the most important features of the
Professional version of WSCAD 5 by completing a small sample project. You will
use the 'Favourites' 'EXAMPLE' and the database 'EXAMPLE.MDB' and you may
find it helpful to study the sample drawings on the preceding pages. The complete
practice example can be found as 'WSCAD example project 1' in the Project
Manager.
Hint
Please note that this sample schematic aims to answer questions of the
type: "How can I ....?" It does not reflect the usual procedure for creating a project.
While reading this section, please refer to the foregoing sample drawings
Norm IEC 61346
All examples are created referring the norm IEC 61346 which is valid since
01.June.2003. This international norm changes the reference names of symbols to
represent the symbols function oriented and administered.
In WSCAD it is possible to draw with the “old norm” or with the “new norm”.
The following example is using the “new norm”.
Hint
The new norm IEC 61346 contains function informed reference names. For
this reason the existing reference names differ to the new reference
names.
e.g.: a manual motor starter have had a reference name “–Q”. Since
01.June.2003 it is defined as a protection installation and now has the
reference name “-F”.
Setting up a project
General
The Project Manager is the central organizer for all your projects. It enables you
for example to copy, to import and to export projects, and allows you to make
auto-saves for creating regular backups. You can also set up a customer database
referring back to this data later.
The first step is to set up a new project. A folder is created which contains the
entire files specific to the project. On the pull-down menu, select 'File – Project
Manager'. This will open the Project Manager.
Some example projects have already been created. To get the details of an existing
project, select the project name with the mouse. In the right-hand window, all the
information about that project is displayed. Now select from the menu 'Project-
New', to create a new project. The following dialog appears:
21

Getting Started
Enter the project name as 'WSCAD example'. The project name is automatically
added to the preset project path. For the template, select 'A4-Horizontal..'. This
template will be used for the entire project. It automatically inserts a specific frame
into the drawing sheet when you are creating schematics or terminal charts.
Hint
Please make sure the option 'CPP – Mode' is switched off. Otherwise, you
will be working in Combined Part Project mode, which is only necessary for
very large projects.
Exit with 'OK'.
22

Design capture
The project 'WSCAD example' is opened automatically. You see the open project
on the open book symbol! Now, in the right-hand window of the Project Manager,
enter the information which has to appear on the drawing frame. Enter the
following values (or something else):
23

Getting Started
Hint
Double clicking the line 'Customer' takes you to the customer database.
The project data is now complete. The next step is to create the drawing sheets.
24

Creating new pages for a drawing set
Design capture
In order to draw a schematic diagram, start the Project Manager ('File – Project
Manager') and open the directory tree for the project. Activate the project you will
work with by clicking the right mouse button on 'Project name' and select 'Open'
(not necessary, if the project is already open).
Hint
The main window of the Project Manager shows you which project is
currently open.
Now click with the right mouse button on 'Schematics' and select 'Create'.
Hint
You will also find the command 'Create' in the Project Manager menu under
'Modify’. Nevertheless you must select 'Schematics' first.
In this example you will be using '4' drawing sheets. Enter this number in the
following dialog.
25

Getting Started
The next dialog already has 'File name' displayed. To open it, click the 'OK'
button.
If you need more sheets later on, you can add them to the existing sheets in the
same way.
26

Design capture
Four Drawing sheets have been created and the data you entered in the Project
Manager have been transferred automatically into the drawing sheets.
Check the amount of pages by pressing the 'Next sheet' or 'previous page' keys
to browse through the sheets.
You see also the name of the drawing file and the sheet number at the top of the
main window:
The total number of sheets and the current page number are displayed
automatically.
Finally, go back to Sheet 1 of your example.
27

Getting Started
Adjusting the practice files
If you are working with a licence version, you must now activate the example
database. First, select 'Settings' on the menu, then the command 'Common
Settings' and then the 'Database' tab.
The display now lists the directories including information on the database.
Click with the left mouse button in the database field and then click on the
button.
28

Design capture
You will see this standard Windows dialog for selecting a file. Click on the file
'example.mdb' and then 'OK'. You will automatically be returned to the
'Database' tab in the 'Common Settings' dialog. You will see the name and the
path of the selected file now correctly displayed. Store the setting by clicking the
'OK' button. If you click 'Cancel' in the 'Common Settings' dialog, you will exit
without storing any changes.
Page configuration
Before you begin to draw the example project, you should check some of the
settings for your new project:
Exit the Project Manager with 'OK' and click on 'Settings’ in the pull-down menu.
Then select the command 'Options'. Check the following settings:
29

Getting Started
If you want to change the cursor form, then click on the relevant cursor symbol.
Exit the 'Options' dialog with a mouse click on the 'OK' button.
Hint
Note the display in the information bar on the lower edge of the screen. It
shows hints about the current command and the function of both mouse
buttons.
30

Placing Components
General
In WSCAD you have several options to load a symbol:
• Load a symbol without parts
• Load a symbol with parts
Load a symbol without parts
Details for all Versions Basic Compact & Professional version
Design capture
The first task is to place the main isolator switch, which is identified in the
example drawing as '-Q1'. This is the so-called reference name which is
incremented by automatic numbering. The component is placed without having
access to the database, which is one of the functions of the Professional -
version.
Check whether the database access is deactivated or not. Select the menu
command 'Settings– Common Settings', the tab 'Connect+Load' and disable
the Option 'Take values from database'. Accept the message ('The cable
manager must be ...') with 'OK' and leave the Common settings with 'OK'.
31

Getting Started
To load a component, select the 'Schematic' menu and then select 'Load symbol
...'. The 'Symbol Explorer' will appear:
32

Design capture
The 'Symbol Explorer' offers several options to access the libraries or to load a
symbol directly:
• Loading a symbol directly from a library (Library)
• Loading a symbol via the reference name (Designation)
• Loading a symbol after a search (Search)
• Loading a symbol as a favourite (Favourites)
Hint
In the Demo version the Symbol Explorer shows a reduced number of
available libraries. The licence version contains many more libraries.
Go to the tab 'Favourites' and click on the '+' next to 'Example' if it is not yet
open. All Component names are listed, choose 'Mainswitch_3pol' and you have a
preview at the top of the symbol explorer.
Select the component 'Mainswitch-3pol' using the left mouse button and 'OK' (or
a double click).
33

Getting Started
Make sure that the Snap mode, (indicated by 'S', the first letter in the box on the
information bar; switches it on/off) and Automatic connection ('A' is the
third letter; function key switches it on/off) are turned on and displayed.
34
The component jumps from grid point to grid point with the snap
mode on. This is necessary to ensure perfect alignment and valid
connection of the components.
Position the switch at the drawing (these are displayed on the status bar at the
bottom right of your screen).
Fix the component with the left mouse button or key. Now the symbol,
explorer will be shown again and you can choose a further component. If you have
finished placing components, you can press . If you have loaded the wrong
component, you can delete it with 'Undo' in the menu 'Delete/Move' and load the
correct one as described before.
If you press the right mouse button before
positioning the component, the 'Rotation' menu
will appear. In addition to rotate, you can mirror the
component, modify the component name and
parameters, etc. or abort the command. The placed
component has the reference name 'Q' and not
'Q1' as shown in the completed example drawing.
The number will be added later using the automatic
numbering capability.
Hint
After placing the component the component a selection window will
reappear. Simply exit by pressing .

Placing symbols with database
Interesting for users of the Professional version
Design capture
The next task is to place additional components, but this time using the database,
which is only possible with the Professional version.
Hint
In this example the database access does not apply to contactors and
contacts.
From the main menu choose 'Settings - Common Settings - Connect+Load
Tab’ and tick 'Take values from database'. Also check that in the tab
'Contactor and PLC Modules' the options 'Activate Contactor Manager' and
'Semi-automatic' are both activated. Choose 'OK' to save the setting and exit.
Also check the tab 'Cable' the option 'Activates On-line cable management'
and on tab 'Connectors' the option 'Enable On-line connector management',
please make sure that they are activated.
Hint
Only the Professional - version can access the database.
35

Getting Started
Now place the motor -M1. The 'Favourites' library 'EXAMPLE' contains the motor
-M1. You can access the graphical component selection window again via menu
'Schematic- Load Symbol ...'. You will find M1 under 'Motor~3phas' .
Position the motor at the drawing. Co-ordinates can also be entered using the
numeric keys. There has to be either a blank or a slash '/' between the coordinates,
but not a comma. Quit using the key.
Now a selection dialog is displayed, showing the available motors in the database:
36

Design capture
Select '1LA7083-6AA10'. The component parameters for the selected component
are displayed and can be edited if desired.
37

Getting Started
The original component name is overwritten with the component name from the
database and the part number is copied across.
Text can be typed in via the common input field at the bottom of the screen in the
information toolbar. The text input field is automatically activated when the
program expects an input.
Click on 'Function text' and enter 'Feed'. After you have pressed , the
text is positioned at the cursor. Now place (click with the left mouse button) the
text wherever you like below the motor. This brings you back to the component
parameters. Select the 'Function text' again. A menu appears where you can
choose various text properties. Select 'Alignment' and set the text alignment to
'centred', place the text and leave the settings menu with a right mouse click in
the drawing area or with .
Hint
If you have placed the motor from the library using 'Schematic-Load
symbol ...', the open library reappears. Quit with 'Cancel' or .
Please note that the power rating of the motor was extracted from the database
and placed in Text 2 of symbol parameters. The text is also marked as invisible
(using '!' as the first character). By deleting the '!' character, you can position the
text to display wherever you want. (Although you can enter information into the
text fields, the component editor in Text 2 already provides appropriate text, it is
often better to use this value directly from the database and to make it visible in
the drawing.)
This applies similarly to Texts 3-16, i.e. they can be assigned to any database field.
TIP
Component setting 'Text2' will always be transferred from data base field
'Text2'. It will be automatically visible in the drawing only if 'Text2' of the
component has been set in the library (i.e. without an '!' in front of the
text). You can modify this at any time by clicking the right button on
components and altering 'Text2'.
38

Design capture
Now place another motor. This M2 should actually be the same component as M1,
nevertheless this time choose type '1LA7106-6AA10' from the database selection,
and modify the function text to 'Worm' (it means Worm drive). Then go back to
the beginning with or a click the right mouse button.
Incorrect assignments can be corrected simply and easily!
Now we want to correct our "mistake" (the incorrectly assigned part number for
M2): position the cursor on motor M2 and click with the right mouse button. The
'Component Parameters' menu will appear, giving the most important
commands for this component. With the left mouse button select the field 'Part
number': the database list will reappear immediately and you can choose the
correct type '1LA7083-6AA10' with a double click.
Now, to protect the unit we need a 'Fuse-3pol'. Use the type '5SG5573 compl.
10A', and the value for 'Text2' is nominal current '10A'.
TIP
Component reference names (like M, Q..) are not numbered at this point.
This will be done later using the automatic numbering function.
Symbols with texts supplement
Interesting for user Basic - Compact and Professional version
hint
Text inputs are made by the general input field down in the information
border. The input field is activated automatically, as soon as an input is
expected.
In order to write a text in a symbol, e.g. a function text, you click with the right
mouse button on the symbol. Select in the parameter menu the 'function text' and
insert in the input line the function text (e.g. 'load').
It opens a window with all texts in the lexicon.
If you would like to enter another text, then you continue to write (the suggested
text overwritten). With the 'red sign' you transfer the text to the drawing. Now set
the text to any position into the proximity of the symbol.
If you select the function text again, a menu opens, in which you can assign
different characteristics of the text. If you select 'adjustment ' and if you set the
text adjustment 'centrically', set the text on a new position.
39

Getting Started
You have the possibility to use 16 additional texts for each symbol. Additionally you
can link each of the 16 additional texts with any data base field.
Hint
Is there a '!' placed at the beginning of a text, the text in the drawing
becomes invisible. Invisible texts you can make visible with the menu item
'view-show all texts'.
Editing Terminals
General
The terminal designations from the terminal strip -X0 cannot all be set
automatically because the automatic process can only generate consecutive
numbers. This also applies to the 'PE' terminals of -X1.
WSCAD 5 offers a clear and simple tool to deal with this problem: the Terminal
Browser.
Placing Terminals
Interesting for user Basic - Compact and Professional version
Terminals are components with special features. They can be found in the
Favourites library 'EXAMPLE'.
First, the terminal -X0 is to be added to the drawing (this is the numbered
reference name). To view the entire drawing sheet in the drawing frame, change
the viewing scale by pressing either the function key (Fit View) or the
and function keys to zoom in or out.
Select the favourites library 'EXAMPLE' and select the component 'Terminal' and
position it. Make sure that the terminal pin exactly matches the end of the line,
overlapping should be avoided (turn Snap on!!). Press the left mouse button to
position the terminal pin. Now the database selection appears, select '870-901'.
Enter a complete reference name (e.g. –X0), so that the automatic functions can
locate the appropriate terminal pins (which could be located on many pages
throughout your diagram) and assign them to one complete terminal strip.
To do this, select the 'Reference name' in the 'Component Parameters' menu,
and you will be prompted, at the bottom of the screen, to input a reference
name. Enter '-X0' and confirm with . Exit from the 'Component
Parameters' menu by clicking with the mouse in the drawing area (or use
).
Hint
The pin numbers entered here are only used in the example drawing.
Normally the terminal pins are placed without numbering because the
automatic function does the numbering for you.
40

Design capture
You can also modify easily the reference name of a terminal connection later. One
possibility is via the command 'Modify – Reference name', but the quickest way
is of course via menu 'Component Parameters': move the cursor across the
component and a click with the right mouse button will show you the Component
Parameters including the reference name.
The designation 'L1' of the terminal connection (=pin number of the component)
will be done later. At the upper end of the terminal, there is a little dot on the left.
This is a visible designation for the internal destination assignment in the
terminal list. You can change the destination to external by using the 'Modify -
Terminal dest.' command. If you click on a terminal after selecting this command
then the internal destination assignment will turn over. Note that the position of
the dot changes from top to bottom.
Alternative: a right button click on any terminal brings up a sub-menu including the
'Terminal dest.' command, or, when placing the terminal, by pressing the right
mouse button to activate the rotate/mirror sub-menu. (Modifying the assignment is
not necessary on page 1 of this example, but you will see it on page 2 with the
valves).
Place a second terminal (preferably with the cursor keys, with Snap ON!). On this
one, you do not have to enter a reference name, because the automatic function
will assign terminals at the same level to the same terminal strip (like the one on
the left). After placing the terminal, the menu 'Component Parameters' appears
and now you select the 'Reference name' line. Clear the input line for e.g.
pressing and press to confirm.
In menu 'Component Parameters', the reference name is already correctly
displayed. You can alter the reference at any time, e.g. when the terminal belongs
to another terminal strip. Exit from menu with and you will notice that the
terminal is displayed in the diagram without a reference name.
You can place the other three terminals
in the same manner as the second one,
but it is much faster to use the 'Repeat'
function within the menu
'Delete/Move'. Select 'Repeat'. At the
prompt 'Set start position', position
the cursor and press the left mouse
button (or key) three times to
place three more terminals (without a
reference name). Every mouse click
represents a repetition at the same
displacement distance. Exit the
command by pressing the right mouse
button (or key).
Placing the terminal for terminal strip '-X1' (belonging to the motor 'M1') by using
the component: 'Terminal'. This terminal is to be assigned to a different terminal
strip, alter the 'Reference name' in the 'Component Parameters' to '-X1'
(remember the component parameter appears after placing the terminal).
The automatic function will do the pin assignments later. Place the second the
third and the 'PE' terminal of the terminal strip '-X1' the same way, but clear the
'Reference name'.
41

Getting Started
Position the first terminal for M2. Place the other terminals as for M1 in the same
way. Make sure that they are at the same level as the one to the left, so you will
not have to enter the reference name '-X1'.
Hint
The terminal components used have an additional connection in the middle,
called a 'jumper pin’. This pin makes it easier for the automatic process to
manage the jumper connections between the terminals. A more detailed
description of this connection method is given in the electronic reference
manual located on your CD in the chapter ’Terminals’ and in the Online
Help.
42

Terminal browser
Design capture
To open the Terminal browser, click with the right mouse button on a terminal
of the terminal strip '-X0' and choose 'Browser'. The dialog 'Terminal browser'
opens:
Select '-X0' and you will see a list with all terminals from terminal strip '-X0'.
Select on the right side of the dialog the sort modus 'Co-ordinate', now you see
the terminals in this sequence you have been drawing in the sheet, sorted by
page/path. In the column 'Number' you didn't see a terminal number for the pin.
To adjust a terminal number, double click in row '1' column 'Number' and type in
'L1'.
43

Getting Started
Confirm the input with . The terminal number was adjusted and the cursor
moved to the next field. Fill in for the next number 'L2' and complete the next
fields with 'L3', 'N' and 'PE'.
Close the Terminal browser with 'OK' and confirm 'Save modifications?' with
yes. Now all numbers are written to the terminals.
44

Input via Terminal Number
Interesting for user Basic - Compact and Professional version
Design capture
With this method, you can assign the terminal number separately for each
individual terminal. In the menu, select 'Modify – Terminal / Cable numbers'
and from the '-X1' terminal strip select the first terminal.
At the prompt (Input Pin Number) type in '1' and confirm with . The
terminal is now labelled and you are immediately prompted for the next terminal in
the terminal strip. Continue until you have reached the 'PE' connection of motor
M1 (M2 as well). Here enter 'PE' as the designation. (But you should increase
your logical terminal numbering by one for the next terminal number).
Confirm the existing inputs with (if you don't want to change it), when
you reach the final connection in the terminal strip of the current drawing sheet,
the input routine will be terminated.
45

Getting Started
Drawing macros
Inserting drawing macro
Interesting for user Basic - Compact and Professional version
Now you will add an additional symbol to your drawing using a previously created
device that has been stored as a so-called 'Drawing Macro'. Drawing Macros
contain components, lines and text, etc. that have been created from existing
sections of drawings, and saved as Drawing Macros (they also contain all the
parameters of a sub assembly of parts).
From the menu bar, select 'File – Insert drawing macro'. The available drawing
macros are displayed in the Drawing macro Explorer with preview (including an
example of drawing frames).
Select 'Transform_24V.0000' from the menu window and place it at the drawing.
46

Hint
Design capture
Circuit diagrams should mainly be based on macros. Set up macros
whenever you can and create them that way that you can easily delete
unwanted components from the macros.
47

Getting Started
Contactor Manager
General
Interesting for user Compact and Professional version
The Contactor Manager coordinates the relationship between coils and
contacts. The difference between the semi-automatic and fully automatic processes
is as follows:
• The Semi-automatic Contactor Manager allows you to assign contacts to coils
(or vice versa) immediately, without any database reference (part number). The
part number will be allocated later via the Contactor Browser.
• The Fully-automatic Contactor Manager takes you back to the database
selection as soon as the component has been placed, and a part number has to be
assigned. The cross-reference to the contact is generated online and the
connection names are added automatically.
Semi-automatic Contactor Manager
The following coils are managed with the Contactor Manager in semi-automatic
mode. Please check whether the semi-automatic Contactor Manager is active or
not. Select the menu command 'Settings – Common Settings', (tab)
'Contactors and PLC modules' and activate the Options 'Activate contactor
manager' and 'Semi-automatic'. Exit with 'OK'.
Hint
Do not alter the reference name; this will be automatically assigned and
managed. The numbering is done automatically after the diagram is
completed, using your data input.
There are two possible ways using the Contactor Manager:
Method 1: The coil is first positioned in the drawing and then the contacts are assigned to the coil
From the menu select 'Schematic – Load symbol ...'. If no library is opened yet,
select the Favourites library 'EXAMPLE'.
You will find the motor circuit breaker under 'MPCB_3pol+Aux-contact'.
48

Design capture
The Contactor list dialogue is becomes active. Here you see all used contactors and
their contacts together.
49

Getting Started
Select New and you'll get a reference name suggested. Please accept this
suggestion and insert the function text ("!MPCB feed") in the text field on the top.
Remember: the first character '!' in the function text makes it invisible in the
drawing but this information will be very useful later.
Leave the dialogue by pressing the OK button. Now the Symbol Parameters
starts automatically. Please insert at Text2: 1 A. This text must position beneath
the reference name.
You're closing the Symbol Parameters and the Symbol Explorer by pressing the
ESC key two times. Due to 'Auto-Connect ()' is activated; the connections
to the motor are generated automatically.
Hint
The component parameters are displayed and you can accept the
references as they are. The page and continuous numbers that make up
the complete component reference number will be added automatically
later.
Important!
50

Design capture
For the assignment of coil contacts, it is necessary that the reference name
is unique, e.g. with continuous numbers. Contacts that belong to a coil
must have the same reference name as the coil. However, this is an easy
task with the automatic contactor manager.
You can now place the second MPCB 'MPCB_3pol+Aux-contact', this time using
the 'Copy' command. To do this, go back in the menu to 'Delete/Move' and select
'Copy immediately'. At the prompt 'Select one element…' select (click with left
mouse button) the same circuit breaker as before and position it.
Replace the 'Function text' input line with '!MPCB Worm' (it means a worm
drive) and position it again below the circuit breaker.
51

Getting Started
Method 2: The contacts are placed first and the coil is assigned to the contacts later (virtual
contactor)
Now draw the main circuit for motors M1 and M2. For this you need three 3-pole
main contacts, which you will find via 'Schematic - Load symbol ...' under
'NO_3pol_power'.
Create an new reference name in the Contactor list an insert a function text for
the contacts.
52

Design capture
Make no changes in the following menu 'Component Parameters' and position
the function text '!Feed forward’ anywhere.
Repeat the whole procedure for the second and third 3-pole contacts, using the
same procedure as above. The function text is '!Feed backward' and '!Worm on'.
Hint
Do not worry about the contact reference names. The Contactor Manager
will first generate them, and will change them into the required form
later.
Contactor Manager
You have now learned how to handle contacts whose coils have not yet been
placed. The automatic process is handling them as a 'virtual contactor'. The
assignment of contacts to contactors (also 'virtual') and the placing of contactor
coils will be done later.
Now look at the Contactor Manager. Click with the right mouse button on a
contact or a contact and in 'Symbol Parameters' choose 'Assign anew'. In the
Contactor Manager, you can see all the coils and contacts used in the drawing.

the '!'. Now position the text below the coil. Place the text in the same horizontal
position as the function text 'Table up' and 'Table down' for the valves. Place the
virtual contactor 'Feed backward' and place the function text below the
coil. Now do the same for the contactor 'Worm on' .
Now place an 'NC_power' from the 'Favourites' library for the blocking circuit of
the reversing starter and position it above the coil 'Feed backward’. Assign it to
the coil '!Feed forward' and confirm with 'OK'. Place another 'NC_power' and
position it above the coil 'Feed forward'. Assign it to the coil 'Feed backward'
and confirm with 'OK' again. Place two 'NO_power' and assign these to the motor
circuit breakers ('Feed' and 'Worm').
57

Getting Started
Contactor Manager
Assigning contactors to a specific manufacturer is done with the Contactor
Manager. Once the manufacturer's name has been assigned, the contact comb is
generated and the cross-references are created automatically. At this stage, the
contactors used in the circuit diagram have no manufacturer’s reference.
To open the Contactor Manager select in the menu, 'Automatic funct. –
Contactor Manager - Contactor Manager'.
You can of course enlarge the window if needed.
You see all reference names (coil) and their contacts. If you select a contact you
get information’s on the right side about them. If you set the option View /
Function text you see the function texts also in the tree.
58

Mark all coils (-Q..)
Design capture
After selecting make a double click in the Part number field at the right side.
59

Getting Started
The database opened with pre selected contactors.
Search for 'DILM12-32(24VDC)' . Therefore choose 'Moeller GMBH' as the
manufacturer from the pull down menu ‘Manufacturer’ and type in the Part
number.
60

Design capture
After OK button the Part number will be transferred into the contactor manager.
61

Getting Started
Make the same with motor circuit breaker by search for part number 'PKZM0-
1,6'
62

Design capture
Exit the Contactor Browser with 'OK'. The Contactor Manager now generates the
cross-references between the contacts and coils. Note that all the connection
names have been corrected automatically.
Full automatic Contactor Manager
Professional version: Placing components by using full automatic Contactor Manager.
Hint
To avoid assigning too many contacts, turn off the semi-automatic process
under 'Automatic funct. – Contactor Manager – Semi-automatic'. From now
on, the automatic Contactor Manager will control every contactor or
contact added to the project.
The assignment of coils to contacts is carried out in the fully automatic Contactor Manager.
After the coil or contact is positioned, a database part number is allocated.
First place a coil 'Coil' (this is an auxiliary contactor) with a click on the left mouse button. The
database selection window opens. Select 'DILER-40-G(24V)'. Enter as 'Function text'
'Emergency Off' and place it at the same level as the texts for the valves, centrally under the
coil. Quit the settings and accept the suggested position of the contact comb with a click on the
left mouse button. You don't have to move the cursor!!
The next step is to load a self-holding contact 'NO_Contactor' of the 'Emergency Off'
contactor. Position the 'NO_Contactor'.
This brings you back to the 'Existing Values' in the Contactor list. Unlike the semi-automatic
process, you can see all the available contacts.
63

Getting Started
Assign the 'NO_Contactor' to the 'Emergency Off' coil. After the contact has been assigned,
the cross-reference is applied online to the contact and the contact comb after clicking the left
mouse button anywhere in the drawing field. Exit the Symbol Explorer with 'Cancel'.
Hint
This procedure can also be reversed. This means that a contact can be
loaded first and a part number (from the database) can be assigned. As the
part is assigned, the automatic process identifies and manages the contact
arrangement even when the coil is not yet positioned on the drawing
sheet.
Cross-reference Navigator
Now you can learn how to access the position a cross-reference is pointed to,
quickly and easily.
Let's use the contact comb of the contactor 'Feed forward' as an example. Note
the cross-reference text at the left of the comb; this represents the position of the
associated contact.
64

Design capture
Position the cursor over the cross-reference text and click with the right mouse
button: The cross-reference navigator immediately loads the correct page of your
drawing and positions the cursor near to the corresponding contact.
Click with the right mouse button on the cross-reference text at the left side of the
contact, and the navigator brings you back to the page with the coil.
Hint
The cross-reference navigator also works with line related crossreferences.

Getting Started
PLC Manager
General
This function is in the Professional version only
In the Professional version the individual Bits of the inputs and outputs of PLC
modules can be loaded on different pages of the circuit diagram (page 2 of this
practice example). The individual PLC inputs and outputs are collated into a central
overview table, with cross-references and PLC comment texts (page 3 of this
practice example).
This allows very flexible design and display, not only during the design stage but
also in subsequent modifications to the equipment.
Hint
WSCAD offers two different ways of to load PLC symbols.
First you load the PLC main module
One of the main advantages of the PLC manager is the clear representation of all
PLC channels. To demonstrate this, go to page 3 of your practice example (via
'File – page up/dn' or simply by pressing the button).
First, load the drawing macro 'PLC-CPU315-2DP.0000' - 'File – Insert drawing
macro' and position it. This pre-prepared macro contains the supply connections
for the PLC main modules. To create proper databases select 'Automatic funct. -
PLC - Create new PLC Manager file'.
Next, activate the Favourites library 'EXAMPLE' then load the symbol 'Digital
Input SM 321-1BH00 16x24V DC' command 'Schematic – Load symbol ...'.
66

Design capture
In the appearing PLC selection choose 'New' and assign a Symbol name, e.g. '-
K3'.
Exit from the PLC selection with OK. In the following menu 'Component
Parameters' enter the function text '!Motor control'. Note the preceding '!',
which makes the text invisible, and place the text anywhere you wish. Exit the
Symbol Explorer with 'Exit'.
Now set the individual (PLC) inputs and outputs
Go back to Page 2 in order to position the individual inputs and outputs.
Load the symbol 'Digital Input'. Position it with a double click (or )
exactly over the coil 'Feed forward' and you will get the 'PLC selection' dialog
with all available PLC main modules of the PLC manager. Select the card '!Motor
Control' and you see all channels of this unit.
67

Getting Started
Hint
The reference name is automatically entered by the PLC manager and will
be put into the desired format later. Meanwhile, refer to the function text
(here: !Motor control).
Now assign the input symbol (an input channel) to the PLC module. Select the
connection 'E0.0' (You could of course assign another input if you wish). For the
comment write in 'Switch forward' and confirm it with 'OK'.
The reference was generated automatically from the main element ('Digital Input
SM 321-1BH00 16x24V DC') to the side element ('Digital Input'). The position
of the comment and the reference are defined in the symbol editor and are shown
in the correct position.
Again load a 'Digital Input' and place it with a 'double' click' or .
Again choose the '!Motor Control' and assign it to the connection 'E0.1'. The
comment is 'Switch backward'.
Close the dialog with 'OK' and quit the appearing menu 'Symbol Parameters' by
clicking the left mouse button anywhere in the drawing.
Loading the individual PLC channels first
As with the contactors, the PLC Manager also enables you to load the inputs and
outputs (side elements) before the PLC main module is loaded. The PLC Manager
manages a virtual PLC main module (a 'map' of the PLC inputs and outputs).
First load a digital PLC output with the 'Symbol Explorer' and place it with a
single mouse click. This opens the database selection window. Select the extension
module 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00 16x24V DC' and confirm with 'OK'.
Now enter the function text '!Table control' and position it where ever you like.
Abort the 'Symbol Parameters' menu and assign the current connection to
channel 'A0.0'. Enter as PLC-Text 'Motor Worm on' and exit the 'Symbol
Explorer'.
68

Hint
Design capture
Obviously we would not need an Input and an Output module for our small
example. This serves only to demonstrate the functions of the PLC
manager.
You may have realized that there is no cross-reference at this time. However, as we
have not yet loaded the PLC main module, cross-referencing is not yet possible.
Now we have to load two digital outputs for the control of the valves -Q1 and –Q2.
Place them but at this time with a double click with the left mouse button.
This allows you to skip the database selection dialog (which is not needed here) and
to make the channel allocation directly. (If you do accidentally activate the
database, simply exit it and this will take you to the assignment menu). Assign the
outputs for –Q1 or –Q2 to the digital output 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00
16x24V DC' (Function text: '!Table control'). Enter the PLC text for both valves
-Q1 and -Q2 as: 'Table up' and 'Table down’.
Tip
A double click when loading the PLC main module takes you directly to the
assignment of this symbol to a PLC module the PLC manager is already
controlling. The rule is: every selection in the database menu creates a new
PLC module in the 'PLC selection', so whenever you double click or quit out
of the database selection window, the assignment menu will always
appear. You can still delete any symbol with the 'Delete' command.
The database dialog is not necessary because we have already set the parameters
by inserting the individual PLC connection. Now you only need to assign the symbol
to a PLC module controlled by the 'PLC selection'. Main modules which have not
yet been assigned are marked with a '*'. These are 'virtual' PLC modules.
Position the Output Unit
Now go back to page 3 and load the symbol 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00
16x24V DC' from the library 'EXAMPLE'. Position the symbol with a double
click. The 'PLC selection' dialog opens up again.
69

Getting Started
Select the entry 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00 16x24V DC' and confirm the
selection with 'OK'. Leave the menu 'Symbol Parameters' and cancel the
'Symbol Explorer'.
Please note that all used PLC channels are referenced with PLC and cross-reference
text. The schedule gives you a complete overview of all PLC channels and their
functions.
Complete the Drawing
Now complete the drawing on page 2 with the missing PLC inputs. Load two
'Digital Output' for the contactor 'Feed forward' and 'Feed backward' and
position them at and. The comments are 'Motor forward' and 'Motor backward'.
70

Modifying the PLC byte address
Function: Incrementing the Byte Address.
Increment the Byte Address, as described below:
Design capture
Click with the right mouse button on the symbol 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00
16x24V DC'. It opens the 'symbol parameter' choose 'show assignments' and
the 'PLC Manager' opens:
Note that the output numbers are beginning with 'A0.0'. Change the address by
entering '2' into the field 'Address'.
Confirm with .
71

Getting Started
All Output channels changed from 'A0.0' into 'A2.0'.
Hint
Click with the left mouse button on a connection in the PLC Manager and
you automatically get a preview of the connection page where the input or
output module is located
72

Inserting connections (destination wiring)
General
This function is in the Compact and Professional versions only
Design capture
At this point, you have not yet drawn any connection lines. The symbols have
'only' been linked automatically to each other.
The following Chapter demonstrates the use of Destination wiring elements to
connect your components. You can also use the menu command 'Schematic-line'
to connect the symbols
The symbols of destination wiring indicate the direction of the wiring between the
components.
Important
It is important to work with precision when using the destination wiring
symbols.
If the wrong symbol is used, the connection chart – which records and describes
every connection between components point-by-point– will become unusable.
Hint
Unfortunately the red line in the following illustration (destination wiring
dialog) is difficult to see. You should therefore refer to the destination
73

Getting Started
wiring symbol bar on the monitor whilst working through the following
instructions).
Buttons for the
destination
wiring
Rule
74
The symbols have a common connection and 2
destinations: Target 1 and Target 2. The arrow always
shows the common connection and must always be
connected to a component. The black line is the first
destination and the red line the second destination.
For example, a wire has two connection points. One end of
the wire is the common connection and the other end is
the first destination.
The common connection must only be connected to a symbol (also possible
via an angle piece). Angle pieces are disregarded in practice.
Shortcuts
There are several ways of loading angle pieces. As well as the library, you can also
use a symbol bar.
However, the most effective way is to load destination-wiring symbols is by using
Shortcuts instead of selecting the DW elements with the mouse.
In this way, you can increase your work rate rapidly.
WSCAD supports the following shortcuts for the DW elements:
Shortcut DW-Elements
- Left arrow T-Pieces left
- Right arrow T-Pieces right
- Up arrow T-Pieces up
- Down arrow T-Pieces down
- Left arrow Arrows
- Right arrow "
- Up arrow Corners
- Down arrow "
A small dialog appears when using shortcuts offering
the corresponding DW elements.
You can also navigate using the arrow keys. Make the
selection with the key and exit with the
key.

Inserting corners
This button activates
the UNDO-function.
Design capture
An alternative to destination-wiring if you only
have 2 connections are corners and serve only as
a drawing aid. The corners connect automatically
with the symbols both horizontally and
vertically. When the wiring diagram is created, the
corner pieces are disregarded.
Go to page 1 and load first a 'Corner: bottom
right'. Position it and the main switch and the
angle piece will automatically be linked together
with a connection line.
If it is difficult to position the corner with the
mouse, use the cursor keys.
Another angle is placed immediately afterwards.
Place two more corner pieces as given in the
circuit diagram. Use the key to end the
automatic loading of symbols. If the connection
between the symbols is not functioning then the
automatic connection process has not been
activated. You can check the status at the lower
left -hand side on the screen (a 'A' in the box on
the left side of the information bar). Use the
function key to turn it on or off.
Inserting direction symbols (T-pieces)
Hint
If you have made a mistake whilst drawing, you
can use the UNDO command (e.g. in the menu bar
'Schematic') to remove the incorrect destination
wiring symbols and lines.
T-pieces designate the wiring between components in the control
cabinet. The arrow always shows the common connection and must
always be connected only to a component, the black line is the
1st. Destination and the red line is the 2nd. Destination. This means
that a common connection always has two wires.
Now load the destination wiring symbol 'T bottom: Target 1 left ->
Target 2 right'. A further DW symbol is loaded.
You can swap the DW symbols around very easily. Simply place another
symbol in the same position (on top of it) and the existing symbol will be
deleted.
This also applies to diagrams from earlier versions. Simply place a DW
symbol over a node. The node will then be deleted.
75

Getting Started
Open line ends
Using destination-wiring symbols with open lines are not allowed. Connection lines
always need a connection.
To complete the drawing, add an 'Corner: left -> bottom' for the Motor protection
circuit breaker '-F' and the fuse '-F', such that there is no open line end.
76
Now complete the connections for the reverse switching circuit. You need
the connectors: 'T right: Target 1 top -> Target 2 right'
and
'T right: Target 1 bottom -> Target 2 right' and the corresponding
angles.
Completing the drawing sheets
Now complete Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 with the connectors (destination wiring
symbols), as shown in the example drawing in the appendix.
The potential arrows will be added later. Please note also that the lamp '-P1' will be
added to page 2 later.

Naming lines
General
This function is in the Compact and Professional version only
Design capture
Line names (wire numbers) are needed when a fixed connection is broken. This is
mainly the case when for example a connecting line is carried over from page 1 to
page 2. That the two line ends can be recognized as belonging together, a unique
line name and a connection name must be assigned.
Important
This connection can only be assigned once and is essential when drawing
with destination wiring symbols!
Inserting potential arrows
Hint
Go to page 1 and load an 'Arrow to the right' (). The dialog 'Input
line name' opens. Enter the name 'P11' and for connection name '1'
(1. connection from 'P11' to another sheet). The data on colour, line
diameter and length of wire are optional.
The connection name is a unique identifier for the connection. It can
contain a number or up to 19 characters.
77

Getting Started
78
The line name is automatically written to the connection line in the
right direction. Place a further 'Arrow to the right', enter the
name 'N11' and for the connection name '1'. Terminate the arrow
settings and go to page 2.
Now insert the symbol for the incoming arrow. Load an 'Arrow from the right'
and position it. The dialog 'Enter line names' opens up again. Enter the name
'P11' again. In the list field 'Used connections', you can see all the connections
of the potential 'P11'.
Now connect the incoming end of the connection
line with the existing connection line on page 1.
Select the entry '1| P.1' with a double click. All
the information on the existing connection is
copied across. End the dialog and the line name
will be automatically written in the correct position.
Repeat the procedure including the assignment to Potential 'N11'.
We still need the connections for the potentials for the PLC main modules on page
3. Load an 'Arrow to the right' and position it as a potential 'P11' in current path
8 on page 2. This again opens up the dialog for entering the line name.

Design capture
Enter 'P11' as the line name and '2' as the text for the unique connection. Repeat
this process for the line name 'N11' that points to page three.
Go to page 3 and again connect the incoming lines with the open lines from
page 2.
79

Getting Started
Completing the schematic
General
To complete the practice example you are now going to insert some more switching
components on all three pages.
Before you complete the circuit diagram, have a look at the sample schematics or
compare the diagrams with printed out 'WSCAD EXAMPLE' in the appendix.
Page 3
Page 2
80
Place a 'NO_Contactor' (with the ) and assign it to the
'Emergency Off' coil.
We also need a lamp ('Signal-lamp', Database: 'M22-LC-Y', Function text: 'Unit
on'), a NO switch ('Push-button_1NO', Database: 'M22S-D-Y'), a NC switch
('Push-button_1NC', Database: 'M22-D-R-X0/K01') and an emergency off NC
switch ('Emergency_ switch_lock_1NC', Database: 'FAK-R/V/KC01/IY').
Additionally load a NO switch ('Push-button_1NO', Database: 'M22-D-G-
X1/K10') and place it vertically exactly above the digital input 'E0.0'. Repeat this
procedure once more for the digital input 'E0.1' .

Finally, go back to page 1 of the diagram.

Getting Started
Cable Manager
General
This Function is in the Professional version only
Activate the On-Line Cable Manager under 'Settings – Common Settings –
Cable'.
The cable manager controls the conductors of cables. You can assign a colour code
to each conductor. This avoids duplicating conductors or overloading cables.
Drawing cables with the Cable Manager
Select 'Schematic-Conductor line' and draw a cable line horizontally across
between the terminal '-X1' and the Motor -M1 (Feed). The dialog 'Cables in the
database' appears:
82

Design capture
Click 'New' to load a new cable. Give the cable the designation (=Reference name)
'-W101'
and select from the database selection dialog the cable 'NYY-J 4x1.5 mm²'.
83

Getting Started
Exit the Settings menu. The dialog 'Cables in the database' will appear. As you
have not yet drawn any cables, the dialog is still empty.
Now assign the colour codes to the individual cable conductors with a double click
on the displayed colours under 'Colour Codes'. Go ahead from left to right. Enter
the sequence as 'bk'+'bl'+'bn'+ 'gn/yw', this corresponds to the DIN colour
sequence black, blue, brown, yellow/green. End the allocation with 'OK'
and position the reference name. The colour codes are immediately transferred to
the individual conductors.
Note that you are still within the function 'Draw Cables'. Draw another cable line
above the Motor -'-M2' (Worm). The cable will be given the name '-W102' and is
of the same type as '-W101'. The colour-coding is the same.
Splitting cables
A further possibility is to split the cable over multiple schematic pages.
Go to page 2 and draw a cable line for 'Table up'. In the input line for the
Reference Name, insert '-W103'. Choose the cable type 'NYM-J 4x1.5 mm²'. The
colour of the conductor is 'bk', confirm with 'OK'.
84

Design capture
Draw another cable line, dismiss the prompt for the reference name and you will
see the dialog for the 'Cables in the database':
As you see, the cable '-W103' has three free conductors. Select the cable '-W103'
and assign the colour code 'bl'. Leave the dialog with 'OK'. Create another cable '-
W104' for the valve '-Q3' (Table down) in the same way.
Cable shield
Similarly, you can also add a shield for a cable, which will be included in the cable
chart. Further information on this can be found in the manual or in the Online Help
85

Getting Started
Cable Browser
With the Cable Browser you organize your drawn cables. Open the cables Browser
you see in the left window all drawn cables. Here you can change the part number
from several cables or enter the length of the cable. Select now a cable in the left
window and you see the associated conductors.
With one double-click you can conductor colours exchange or assign again. With the
instruction 'Move to' you navigate to the selected conductor in any place in the
connection diagram.
Modify Object properties
This function is in the Compact and Professional versions only
You can modify several objects in one step with the menu item 'Modify-Object
properties'. Go to page 1 to change the type of the continuous line form the
'PE' into a chain dotted line.
86

Design capture
Now select the object which will be modified. Choose from the menu 'Modify-
Object properties-Connection line'. Select 'Objects' and select all lines from
the continuous 'PE' line. Finish line selection with and a click with the left
mouse button. You will see this dialog:
Choose as 'Line type' as chain dotted line and accept it with 'OK'. Now all 'PE'
lines are changed.
87

Automatic functions
General
WSCAD 5 provides a wide range of automatic functions, from numbering to the
production of listings, which enhance your drawing and documentation. Functions
can be used in different ways, depending on the configuration and settings. The
different ways of controlling the program are described under the appropriate
headings. Test the automatic functions for yourself and you will see the flexibility
and power of WSCAD 5, especially when comparing WSCAD 5 with other ordinary
CAD programs.
Auto-numbering
This Function is in the Compact and Professional versions only
Function: Automatic component numbering
With Auto-numbering, a number is added to the component reference name to
uniquely identify each component.
This command gives you the ability to re-number new component references (e.g.
terminals, contactors).
Select 'Automatic funct. - Automatic numbering' and the 'Auto numbering'
dialog appears:
The 'Selection' group shows the equipment to be renumbered and the 'Style'
group shows the method of numbering (you see a preview in the left window).
89

Getting Started
First select the method of numbering from the 'Style' group. In this case 'Name #'
for continuous numbering without a page number.
You can choose which component types to renumber. Define the component types
to be numbered in the 'Selection' group, in this case: 'Standard', 'Coil /
Contact', 'Main/side elements', 'Terminals', 'Cables', 'Plug / Socket' and
'PLC' .
After completing your selections, click on the 'Start' button to begin the numbering
process.
You should answer the question 'Automatically create copies' with 'Yes'. This
command creates a set of security copies which are stored in the sub directory
'SAFE'.
Should there be unexpected changes after the numbering, you can exit WSCAD 5
and use the Explorer to copy the files from the sub directory back into your project
directory, to restore them to the pre-numbered state.
Hint
Coils, contacts, and terminals without assigned references will cause an
error.
If you review your drawings, you will see that the Automatic function has altered
the reference names for each component, by adding a sequential number to the
existing reference letter, and has also numbered the terminals.
TIP
- Settings for terminals are defined under 'Settings - Common Settings -
Terminals'.
- Settings for cables are defined under 'Settings - Common Settings -
Cables'.
- A 100 page diagram would be numbered in only a few minutes, saving
many man-hours on this tedious error-prone task.
Auto cross reference
This Is in the Compact and Professional versions only
Professional version: Cross-referencing ends of lines
It is possible to add a cross-reference to the ends of lines that have the same name
and continue in another location, e.g. on another page.
Select 'Automatic funct. - Auto. Cross-reference' and then 'Related lines'.
90

Automatic functions
You will be prompted with the question 'Automatically create copies'. When you
answer yes (or no) the program will then carry out the cross-referencing.
Line cross-references are related to the line names. On page 1 the ends of P11 and
N11 are marked with the path (note the drawing frame border is divided into
numbered paths) of the continuation lines (which are on page 2). The page 2
potentials refer back to page 1 and forward to page 3.
In the Professional version, the cross-references on contacts and coils have
already been created by the contactor manager when the components are placed.
Hint
Remember the cross-reference navigator: simply click with the right mouse
button on the cross-reference text on the line end and you are taken
straight to the corresponding continuation line.
Material browser
Interesting for user Professional version
Function: Displaying, assigning or modifying manufacturer’s component data.
To make a Control Cabinet Layout (shown in the next chapter) you need data from
the database. When placing the first component (Main switch -Q1) we worked
without the database, so no automatic entry was made in the Component
Parameters. In order to fill in this missing data, select the menu item 'Automatic –
Material list' and you will see the following dialog:
In the group 'Output to', select 'Browser' and under 'Sort by' click on 'Part
Number'.
91

Getting Started
For the 'Output style' choose 'Single' Click the 'Start' button and you will see a
list of all the components used in the drawing.
All the components in the schematic diagram are listed, sorted by part number.
On any line you see the main switch Symbol Name '!Mainswitch_3pol' and
Reference Name '-Q1' .
Mark in this line the field which is in the 'Part number' column and then click on
the button 'Assign part number'. In the database selection click on 'T0-2-
1/EA/SVB-SW' and the line will be marked with a ('*'), so that you can see which
parts have been modified. You can change the function text as well. Close the
dialog window with 'OK' and all the changes will be automatically copied to the
component.
Hint
You can of course also modify the missing entry manually ('Modify -
Component parameters'), but it is faster to use the 'Component
parameters' menu: make a right click on the component and then click on
the 'Part number' field. The database selection dialog appears again and
you can select the desired part.
92

Control Cabinet Layout
General
This function is in the Professional version only
Automatic functions
The Control cabinet assembly is a true-to-scale drawing of the components in the
control cabinet. All existing components with a part number can be used for the
control cabinet assembly.
In order to create a cabinet layout you need a schematic with the file type control
cabinet layout. Open the project management and a project (an opened project
you recognize by the opened book). Click in the opened project with the right
mouse button on the folder control cabinet and select create.
93

Getting Started
Inserting components
Now activate the Control cabinet manager via 'Automatic funct. – Control
Cabinet Manager'. This opens the following dialog:
Initially the Control cabinet manager box is empty. Make sure the check-box
'Show all' is NOT ticked. Select from the menu Control cabinet manager 'Settings
– Options' and make the following settings:
94

Automatic functions
For changing the drawing scale you have to select the modify button. The option
dialogue starts for setting the Scale.
95

Getting Started
Exit the dialog with 'OK'.
Now, using the command 'Automatic – Scan drawings', import all the
components used in the drawing. All the components are displayed within the
Control cabinet manager.
Hint
Components which are excluded from the material list are not shown!
Excluding unwanted components
Components which are not needed in the Control cabinet layout (e.g. motors,
valves, external emergency-stop switches) can be filtered out: keep the key
pressed, select the unwanted components ('-S1' emergency-stop switch, '-M1'
and '–M2' 3-phase current motors 50Hz/0.6KW, '-Q2' and '–Q3' and Magnetic
valve 5mm 24V) and set the display lock via 'Automatic- Display lock –
Set'. The selected components will disappear from the list.
You can check by switching the 'Show all' toggle. The marked components will
disappear from the list. You can of course reverse the procedure to display the
components again.
Hint
When you use the Unit and Field Designations, you can select in the 'View’
menu whether the components are displayed by Unit or by Field.
96

Construction lines
Automatic functions
Using the Control cabinet menu 'Settings – Construction lines', you can display
construction help-lines within the Control cabinet layout to make the layout
clearer.
Here are some suggested settings:
Construction lines can also be created by shortcuts and deleted again.
creates vertical and horizontal Construction lines where the cursor is.
If you make the shortcuts again at the same cursor position, then the Construction
line is removed.
Exit the 'Control Cabinet Manager' with 'OK'.
Hint
The data is in mm and refers to the current sheet size (A4).
Inserting the control cabinet
Hint
The next step in the assembly is to place the cabinet itself by selecting
the adjacent button.
If the 'Control cabinet' symbol bar is not shown, it should first be activated
via the dialog 'Desktop Settings' in the main menu 'Settings – Desktop'.
The database selection opens and you can choose the Control cabinet 'AE cabinet
compact one door', part number, 'AE 1060600'.
97

Getting Started
Position the cabinet. An additional component is created immediately, and you must
exit with 'Abort + remove'. Note that the dimensions of the Control cabinet are
obtained from the database.
Hint
Of course you could use the original view of the cabinet. If you wanted to
you have to load the cabinet with the 'Supplements' button in the Control
Cabinet manager.
Inserting the mounting plate
The next step is to load the mounting plate. Note that the Compact control cabinet
already contains a mounting plate.
Therefore you will only need to load a 'Dummy’ entry from the database, in order
to set the dimensions of the mounting plate.
This part has a preceding '.' (full stop) to exclude it from the material list.
Click on 'Supplements' in the open 'Control Cabinet Manager' and select the
database entry 'AE cabinet compact one door' (part number
'.AE1060600'). Position the mounting plate. Exit with 'Abort + remove' and quit
the 'Control Cabinet Manager'.
98

Drawing Cable trays, top hat rails and collection bars
Automatic functions
Now place the cable trays on the mounting plate. Select a cable tray via
the adjacent symbol.
The database selection opens again. Select 'Cable tray' with part number
'KL25/60'. Ignore the activated text input field by pressing .
Hint
If you already know the length of the cable channel you can enter this into
the input field.
Draw now the cable trays. Set the start point to the desired position and pull the
cable tray horizontally or vertically on the desired end position.
The top hat rails are drawn in the same way as the cable trays.
Load a top hat rail and select the database entry 'Top hat rail perforated'.
Now we need a 'profil rail' for the PLC units. Load in the 'Control cabinet
manager - Supplements' a 'DIN RAIL 15 X 5.5 MM' from the database (part
number: '210-112').
Hint
Collection bars are drawn in the same way as top hat rails or cable
trays. However our example does not require any.
Inserting assembly symbols
You are now going to position the first component in the assembly diagram. First
check the settings in the Control Cabinet manager, which should be as follows:
Also check the settings under 'Settings – Options' in the Control cabinet manager
menu. These should be as follows:
99

Getting Started
The first component position is entered manually. Double click on '-F1' 'safety
socket E27' and position the component. After the component has been positioned
you can place the reference name where you want, recommended is centrally
above the symbol.
100
Now activate the option 'Automatically' in the group
'Placing' within the Control cabinet manager. Double click
in the list on
MPCBs, '-F2' and '-F3' and the components are positioned
automatically in the Control cabinet layout. Again, position
the reference name centrally above the components. Position
the in the 'automatic circuit breaker 2pole' '-F4' in the
same way.
Next, place a symbol on the second top hat rail. Turn the
automatic positioning off again. Double click on the entry
'CPU 315-2 DP_MC' and place it. Set the input ('SM 321
1BH00 16x24V DC') and output ('SM 322 1BH00 16x24V
DC') unit as you did earlier with the MCBs, using
'Automatically' placing and a 'double click'.
Turn 'Automatically' off again and repeat the process for the contactors. Begin
with the contactor '-K1' 'DILER-40-G'. Turn 'Automatically' on an position the
coils '-Q4'; '-Q5' and '-Q6' ('DILM12-32(24VDC)') again with a 'double click'.

Automatic functions
Next , place the transformer. Turn 'Automatically' off again. This time there is no
corresponding symbol for the transformer in the database, so a rectangle is drawn,
based on the dimensions given in the database.
Inserting terminals
There are various ways of inserting terminals into the layout diagram, either one by
one or as a complete strip. In this example we will place a complete terminal strip.
Place the first terminal '-X1, Terminal Insta. 2,5mm' without 'Automatically'
placing and position it. To place further terminals, select the same terminal again in
the Control cabinet manager.
Note the format of the terminal number: '6/1' means that 1 of 6 terminals in the
terminal strip '–X1' has been placed in the layout diagram.
Turn the 'Automatically' on again and click on the '+' sign. You will get the dialog
'Place several parts'. In this dialog you can enter the number of terminals to be
placed.
101

Getting Started
Select the number '5' and the terminals will be positioned automatically one by one
after confirming the position with the left mouse button. In order to move straight
on to the terminal strip '-X1' or '–X2' after '-X0', the first terminal must always be
placed individually. Double click on the entry '-X4' in the Control cabinet
manager. The first terminal of '-X4' will be added to '-X1'. As you can see, the
reference name is also displayed. The remaining terminals can now be placed with
the '+' sign. Remember to select '4' in the dialog 'Place several parts'. Repeat
the procedure for all terminal strips. The mounting plate assembly is now complete.
Putting symbols on control cabinet door
Components on the doors are not attached to a top hat rail. Turn 'Automatically'
off. Select '-P1' and position it. Now place the remaining components:
• '-S2', Push-button
• '-S3', Push-button
• '-S4', Push-button
• '-S5', Push-button
• '-Q1', Main switch 3 pole
To position the switch exactly, turn Snap off.
Calculate dimensions of the Control cabinet
The Control cabinet layout is now complete. In order to determine the length of the
cable trays and top hat rails, select 'Automatic – Calculate Dimensions' from
the Control cabinet manager menu. With the 'Calculate' button, all the lengths
used in the assembly diagram are calculated.
102

Automatic functions
These lengths are also included in the Material list. End the dialog with 'OK'.
Drawing sheet variables
This function is in the Compact and Professional versions only
One feature of drawing sheet variables is to simultaneously distribute or modify a
text variable over all pages of your schedule.
If you have a look at the drawing frame you loaded at the beginning of the
exercise, you can see some variables that are already set on your pages: date,
page number and last page.
Now we will use the drawing sheet variables to insert the same text on every page
at the same position. Use the command 'Automatic func. - Drawing sheet
variables'.
The following dialog shows all the drawing sheet variables that are on your current
sheet:
103

Getting Started
Hint
Please ensure that the option 'Position and size remain unchanged' is set.
Click in the field 'Variable 1' and enter 'Created with WSCAD 5.2'. Then activate
the option for 'Variable 1' in the 'Automatic' -group.
Click on the 'Start Autom.' button to start the procedure.
104
As you enter a new variable (Variable 1) you must specify its
position in your drawing frame. From the menu 'Variable 1'
select the command 'Move' and place the text at the lower left
of the drawing, outside the text field. You could also rotate the
text or modify the size. Cancel the menu with or the
right mouse button.
The variable 1 is now distributed throughout the set of drawing pages, placed in
exactly the same position as on your current page.

Foreign Languages
Automatic functions
The texts within the schematics can be translated automatically into another
language. From the menu select 'Modify – Foreign Languages – Manage /
Start translation'.
The foreign language translation dialog appears:
The dialog lists all the languages defined in the dictionary with the number of
existing entries. Enter the 'Foreign language 1' in the 'Representation'
group. In the 'State' column, double click the line marked 'DE' to translate into the
German language. and select 'Foreign language 1'.
105

Getting Started
Repeat this process for the 'Foreign language 2'. Then, in the 'Representation’
group set the languages that you want to display in the schematic. Click on 'Main
language' and 'Foreign language 1' and select the button 'Set all'. Start the
translation with the 'Translate' button. All the texts will be translated into the
chosen language.
Please you note that the switch translate word by word are activated. Push the
button Translate to start the process. A dialogue opens for the selection of the
diagrams and/or lists which should be translated.
106

Hint
Automatic functions
As you can see, it is possible to show texts up to 3 languages at the same
time. However, there is not enough room for this in the example drawing.
In order to ensure legibility you should allow enough space for the texts
when creating the drawing.
107

Automated listings
General
In WSCAD 5 you can generate various lists. In addition to project data, revision
history, terminal chart, connector chart, cable list, cable chart, wiring chart,
material list and reference list you can also produce a summary of the entire
project.
There are several ways to generate lists.
Individual listings via the 'Automatic funct.' menu
This Function is in the Compact and Professional versions only
With this method the list generation needs to be started manually. According to the
list to be generated, you will be asked to set various options. You also have to
choose a form which will contain the resulting data.
Individual listings via the Project manager
With the open project, click with the right mouse button on the desired list and
select 'Automated List'.
If this list has already been created within the project, you will NOT be prompted to
make any output settings. The program starts the list generator, producing the
preset list under the preset file name.
109

Getting Started
If you want to modify the output settings again, you should start up the list
generation manually via the 'Automatic' menu or by setting the option 'Set all
output parameters new' and start the analysis again.
Automated listings of an entire Project
General
Having dealt with the automatic functions which modify drawings.
We now move on to see functions which extract information from the drawing and
creates an automated report.
The way individual components are linked together is of course very important.
WSCAD 5 offers a variety of lists for this purpose. The graphical form design
gives you maximum flexibility to create a list, because this form is a "perfectly
normal" WSCAD drawing containing the appropriate text allocators.
The automatic process inserts the information from the drawing into these
allocators.
You can design your forms very freely, either viewing the completed diagram online
or even making further modifications. For the practice example we have already
prepared forms for all the lists. You have already defined these forms by selecting a
'Template' when you create the project. You can of course modify all individual
forms at any time.
Specific information for the Project summary
A prerequisite for the correct generation of a project summary is that for every page there
should be an entry in the field 'File description' in the Project manager.
To do this, open the Project manager and select the first page of the diagram in the section
'Schematics'.
110

Automated listings
Via the 'File description' field above the preview window, enter 'Feeding' for page 1
('WSCAD example.0001'):
With the 'Tab - key', you can switch automatically to the input type of the next page. For
page 2 ('WSCAD example.0001') enter 'PLC inputs/outputs', for page 3 'PLC
overview' and for the page with the Control cabinet assembly 'Control cabinet – Layout'.
Hint
When creating the automated listings of an entire project, the summary is
created as the final list and should also be produced as the final list after
creating the individual automated listings by hand. For all lists (terminal
chart, cable list …), the field 'file description' always shows the list type.
111

Getting Started
Starting the creation of automated listings
The creation of the automated listings of an entire project is started via the Project
manager. The project to be analyzed must be opened and a drawing page must
be loaded.
The Full project automated listings is started via the menu 'Extras –
Automated Listings…' in the Project manager.
A selection dialog appears showing the lists to be generated:
Select the same settings as in the dialog shown above and start the full project
analysis.
The full project analysis runs in the background and processes each of the selected
lists in turn.
Hint
On the first run, in cases where no individual list settings have yet been
made, you will get a dialog prompting you for settings for each list. On any
subsequent run, the existing settings are used. The Automated listings
runs "uninterrupted".
The following description relates to the generation of automated listings from a first
run of a full project analysis.
Hint
To modify the output settings for individual lists, restart the Automated
listings and activate the option 'Reset all output parameters'.
112

Project data
Automated listings
The project data completes the wiring documentation. It usually contains data
about the project and / or the customer. The generation process updates the
project data sheet using data from the Project manager.
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself.
Revision history
This list can be used to keep a record of any modifications which may have been
made to a project. The management of modifications lists and their associated
documentation is a very complex and wide-ranging topic and is thus outside the
scope of this "First steps ..." manual. Information on modifications can be found
in the Online help or in the electronic reference manual on your WSCAD CD.
Schematics
When analyzing the drawing sheets, the text allocators are updated using values of
the project manager.
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself.
Control cabinet layout
When analyzing the drawing sheets, the text allocators are updated using values of
the project manager.
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself.
Begin the creation of the lists by clicking 'Start' in the dialog 'Automated listing'.
113

Getting Started
Terminal chart
The terminal chart lists all the terminals in the diagram in summary form. On the
initial run the following dialog appears to determine the way of sorting:
If 'By Co-ordinates' is set, the terminals are listed in the order as they were
drawn (1,2,3,PE,4...). If 'Alphabetical' is set, the terminals are sorted by pin
number (1,2,...,PE,PE).
Click on 'All terminal strips', to create the terminal chart of all terminal strips and
to store the list as a drawing in your project directory.
Hint
Do not forget that the Demo version has a very limited output capability.
Cable list
A further automatic function is to create a cable list which includes all the cables in
the drawing set with cable names and types, destination names etc. Again, the
graphical form design allows a maximum flexibility.
The following menu appears when you start the full project analysis for the first
time:
Select 'cable name' as the sort option.
114

Cable chart
Automated listings
The cable chart is a list containing a variety of information on the individual cable
conductors and the components to which these are connected.
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself.
Wiring chart
The wiring chart lists all the individual wires (point to point connections) in the
schematic. Each individual connection is listed, with information on the first
destination (connection to component 1) and the second destination (connection to
component 2) including connection name, cross section, conductor colour and
length.
The following menu appears on the initial run:
Set the sort option to 'Line name' and click 'Start'. All the connections in the
schematic will be listed.
115

Getting Started
Material list
The material list shows the components with values taken from a database. The
allocators in the form determine which values are used.
You can of course also work with ready-prepared graphical forms. On the initial run
you will see the following dialog:
Accept the settings as displayed and start the output of the Material list via 'Start'.
A material list will be created which summarizes all the identical parts. The list also
shows the reference names of the individual components.
Reference name chart
In the reference name chart you will see all connections of each symbol, including
all symbols connected.
116

Accept the default settings and start the output with 'OK'.
Summary
Automated listings
This creates an overview containing specific information from every page of the
project. The summary is the last list to be created in the analysis.
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself..
Creating the project database
With this command you can build a project related database with all the parts of
your project.
The database entries for all the parts (including additional parts of combinedelements-parts
comprised of several actual sub-components) are
copied. Components which are excluded from the material list are ignored!
Hint
You do not need to enter any data yourself.
Output to printer
Now you are ready to output your drawing to a printer or a plotter. To print the
project select the open Project and start printing using the menu command
'Project – Print…' in the project manager.
The following dialog appears:
117

Getting Started
Select the required file types Start the output to the printer with 'Ok'. The printer
output dialog appears in which you can see all the important information about the
printer and can modify it if you need to. Make sure that the option 'Scale to fit' is
activated so that the drawing will be optimally sized to suit the paper size in
accordance with the margin settings.
118

Hint
Automated listings
Remember that the Demo version only has a limited printer output.
119

Creating a symbol
Creating a symbol
To complete the exercise we will create a symbol, for this
example, a two pole circuit breaker switch.
In the symbol editor it is possible to assemble several symbols together to create a
new one. However, you cannot take a 1 pole circuit breaker and a 1 pole NC
contact joining them together as a 2 pole switch because the automatic function
would detect them as two different components!
The following explains the fundamental methods of generating symbols with the
symbol editor. Please follow the steps required.
A symbol that can be used with the automatic functions is defined by:
Component graphic determines visual shape or form of the symbol
Pins
determines the symbol connection points, and line
breaking.
Component name name in the library
Reference name unique name in the drawing
Component type
determines how the automatic functions handle the
symbol
To create a symbol:
From the 'Main' menu select 'Extras - Symbol editor'. After starting the Symbol
Editor you will see that it has its own menu:
The menu gives you quick access to the symbol editor specific commands. Within
the symbol editor only one drawing window can be used. If you have several
windows open in the current drawing, these will be hidden and re-activated when
you finally quit the symbol editor.
Hint
The library toolbars remain visible, but cannot be used. Buttons in drawing
toolbars bars may become inactive, depending on their function.
Under 'Parameter-Options', set the Snap range to 2.5mm (refers to the minimum
pin spacing). Select 'Graphics - Qty/enclosure', acknowledge the security
prompt with YES.
Under 'Graphics - Symbol type', select 'Standard'. This means that the switch
has no special capabilities, for example cross-reference (e.g. like a coil, contact or
terminal).
121

Getting Started
Now you are going to create the Symbol Graphics by selecting 'Draw' and the
menu lists the available commands. Make sure that the 'Line type' is set to
continuous and that the 'Line width' is set to '1'. Note the information bar at the
bottom of your screen. There you can see and also modify the settings for line type
and line width.
To make it more convenient, the display scale should be larger, therefore press
(this changes only the zoom factor).
Using lines you can now draw the two NC contacts. Turn Snap mode on (, 'S'
in the last line of the screen) and also Orthogonal mode (, 'O' as second
character).
Select 'Draw-Line' from the menu and draw a line from 100.0/140.0 mm to
100.0/137.5 mm, and then the horizontal part to 101.5/137.5 mm. You must
turn Snap off to do this! Quit the line command with the right mouse key
(twice). Now you are going to copy the lines. Select 'Draw-Repeat' and position
the cursor at 105.0/50.0 mm (Snap turned on) and press the left mouse key.
122
Now create the lower part of the NC contact by drawing a line
from 100.0/132.5 mm to 100.0/135mm. Turn Orthogonal
() and Snap () off and draw the second line
diagonally to 101/138mm. Copy this line with 'Repeat' to
105.0/132.5 mm.
Draw a line to represent the pusher from 95.0/137.5 mm to 95.0/135.0 mm
(Snap off, Orthogonal on) and a dashed line (change to line type 7) from
95.0/136.3 mm to 105.5/136.3 mm. The graphic of the symbol are now
complete.
In this example, the pins are the only parts of the symbol with great importance,
when using the automatic functions.
To place the pins on the symbol, select Pin-Table.

Creating a symbol
Enter the Pin number under Number: 1, 2, 3, 4. Set the type with the passive,
the Size on 1 and the pin direction of Right. The position of the pins are very close
to the symbol. In order to move the pins to the right you enter '2' for the x-pos.
With the button Place new pins you 're able to place the pins to the position at
the end of the closer contacts.
The cursor will jump automatically to the next pin ready to enter the next
number. You can, however, place the cursor on another pin e.g. when correcting a
mistake. Enter the remaining pin numbers and exit by pressing the right mouse
button or .
The symbol requires a component name to be stored in the library. Select
'Graphics - Symbol Name' and then 'Input' and enter the name e.g. !S2x NC
Switch. The '!'-symbol makes the name invisible on the drawing. Position the
name, remembering that the position is not important, because you cannot see it
on the drawing (in the symbol editor everything is visible).
For automatic numbering the symbol needs a reference name (or symbol). In the
database the reference name of a switch is 'S'. In the 'Graphics' menu select
'Reference Name' and then 'Input' and at the prompt enter '-S'.
Position the reference name left to the symbol. Open the 'Graphics' menu select
'Reference Name' again and set the alignment to 'Right'. During automatic
numbering it will be located automatically. As an exercise change the size of the
name, and reposition it with 'Move' using the commands on the 'Reference'
menu.
Individual symbols are stored in libraries. Components can be stored in any library
you want to. (WSCAD 5 is supplied with several libraries containing many symbols
of different types).
TIP
Select 'Library' on the main menu and the
'Library' menu appears. You either store the
symbol in the current library (refer to the library
name at the lower right part of the screen), or in
your own library created using the 'New library'
command. When you create a new library, enter
the library name without the extension '.BIB', as
the program will create this automatically.
To place the symbol in the library, select 'Save
symbol' and you have to define the reference
point. (Note the information in the status bar).
With the Snap mode on, select Pin number '1'.
When a symbol is placed in a drawing, the reference point of the symbol
corresponds to the cursor location, and the drawing sheet path references
123

Getting Started
(i.e. cross references) are calculated from the co-ordinates of the Ref.
Point.
Press the left mouse button and the symbol will be stored in the library. It can then
be placed in a drawing using the 'Load Symbol... ' command from the
'Schematic' menu.
Exit the Component Editor by clicking 'Exit'.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that when creating a symbol, the Snap grid setting matches the
Snap grid of the library used.
124
