Multi-User Access

E3.series is used by electrical, fluid and system engineers and is used for multiple types of design, including, schematic, harness, panel, systems and topology. Often these disciplines and designs share data and even devices.

E3.enterprise allows multi-disciplined teams of engineers and designers to share the same project and data, any changes carried out by the separate teams will propagate through to the other sections of the design, ensuring all data is synchronized and up to data.

For example, A fluid engineer might add a solenoid valve to their manifold drawing, this same valve would then appear, unplaced, in the device tree of the electrical engineers project. So the electrical engineer can add the solenoid to the electrical control schematic. Renaming the device tag or changing the component in either design will automatically update in the other.

Controlling who has access at each stage of the design is crucial for the documentation process. Access control and workflow comes as standard with E3.enterprise. Using Windows™ user-groups, teams of engineers can be given specific access rights and projects can be pushed through the workflow and set to specific states. The access rights of the user groups are determined by the state of the project.

• Multiple simultaneous users
• Large projects are broken down into sub-systems
• Multi-discipline engineering
• Electrical and fluid engineers working at the same time in the same project
• Concurrent panel and schematic design
• Concurrent systems and electrical design

• Grant or deny permission to users and groups
• Limit access to restricted areas
• Lifecycle management
