An integrated design solution for interconnecting devices and designing cables and harnesses
The multi-view capabilities of the E3.series cable unlocks unlimited communication options. All the views across the project are up-to-date, and all changes are synchronized. Intelligent Blocks create robust hierarchical systems, and advanced connector functionality improves design quality. Quickly create manufacturing, assembly, commissioning, and many more types of time-saving documentation using the same underlying data. Reduce not only the overhead costs but also drastically improve overall project quality.
An integrated design solution for interconnecting devices and designing cables and harnesses
Intelligent block functionality enabling the representation of dynamic equipment
Hierarchy functionality for flexible top-down or bottom-up design approach
Multiple views of devices for design and documentation purposes
Complex system designs are greatly simplified using hierarchical design. The E3.series block functionality provides easy-to-use top-down design management and visualization options. Items are easily added to the top layer blocks or act like black boxes with internal connections. The blocks can be saved in the library to further simplify design reuse.
Blocks represent components, rack equipment, PCBs, and other complex sub-systems. Additionally, partial circuits and blocks are easily saved in the library to reuse in multiple projects. The logic, signals, and structure of the design are automatically maintained and applied to the new projects.
Blocks easily integrate with PCB data. An external Excel file provides options to drive the design using a PCB or other external part configuration packages. The dynamic updates are supported by most PCB formats as well as with bi-directional integration with Zuken’s CR-8000 application.
Automatically add Sockets or Plugs to a connection with matching mating connectors. Intelligently select connector pin contacts and inserts driven design standards. Easily maintain logical connection and add new wires automatically for inline connections. The optional wire-size driven selection ensures the right pin terminal is selected for the application. Additionally, dynamically drive the selection of seals, caps, boots, and other accessories.
It is easier than ever to maintain the MIL connector representation standard in E3.series. The MIL-Spec extended connector functionality is an add-on to automate the typical MIL standard connector visualization. The intelligent library features are extended to capture the nuances of a MIL connector. Automatic splitting, merging, and visualization of distributed connectors greatly reduce errors and design time.
Easily generate cable layout drawing driven by the logical design. The flexibility to start the design with cable layout or schematic while keeping everything in sync creates a simple design process. Intelligent table and connector views assist with creating views quickly and efficiently. Reduce errors by documenting seals, caps, backshells, and other accessories driven by component selection.
Harness Builder for E3.series supports the custom wire and cable harness market. This E3.series integrated module is purpose-built for harness manufacturers. Harness manufacturers are empowered to create accurate quotations/estimates, full nail board/pegboard documentation, drive testing, digital assembly, and automated wire preparation machines.
