Cloud-based electrical engineering software in the TIA

Electrical Designer is a secure, browser-based cloud solution for IEC 60204-1–compliant machine control panel design. It automates component sizing, short-circuit checks, cable sizing, and simulations, generates documentation, and reduces planning time and costs by up to 50%.

Efficiency in engineering

Gain more efficiency in basic electrical engineering

  • Consumer- and cost-optimized engineering through total current calculationfor main switch dimensioning.
  • Helps define hardware standards for individual load feeders in preparation for electromechanical engineering.
  • Fast verification with automatic and fast determination of short-circuit strengths and cable cross sections without manual effort.
  • Quick component selection for motor loads (AC3, AC3E), resistive/ohmic loads (AC1), and inductive loads (AC6A).
  • Quickly select and view suitable accessories without catalog or PDF search.

Gain more reliability in electrical pre-engineering

Reliability in electrical planning

  • Engineering in accordance with international standards prevents damages while and ensuring the electrical safety of electrical machines.
  • Increased short-circuit strength through combinations tested to international standards ensures standards-compliant engineering.
  • Standard-compliant cable dimensioning considers relevant parameters and input conditions (IkMin, IkMax).
  • Evaluation of standard-relevant aspects according to international standards, including verification of short-circuit protection etc.
  • Safe disconnection with minimal short-circuit currents for maximum operational safety and efficiency.

Bring more flexibility to your design processes

Flexibility in electrical planning

  • Change handling for quick product selection at the consumer and main switch level without significant additional effort.
  • Complete and relevant project data is always accessible for flexible data processing in the form of dimensioning results, bills of materials (xls/pdf), certificates, type approval certificates, master data, data sheets, manuals, EDZ files, etc.
  • Shared WorK" - working together on a project with TIA Selection Tool allows for flexible and efficient project execution.
  • Cloud login allows storage and access from anywhere at any time.

Your first steps with the Electrical Designer

Easy access to electrical engineering in the cloud

This tutorial video explains how to get started with the Electrical Designer and how to get the most out of it when designing the electrical equipment for your machine. It shows you how to create new load feeders, calculate cable cross sections and short-circuit values. The Electrical Designer automatically finds all the components for your main machine electric according to IEC 60204-1 and it also provides many important technical details that are relevant for the documentation.

We'll be posting more tutorials on how to use the features along with some tips and tricks soon.
