Siemens revolutionizes electrical design in industry with new software

Siemens has expanded the TIA Selection Tool Cloud with the new Electrical Designer (ELD) function for electrical engineering. This smart software is the first and only in the IEC market (application of International Electrotechnical Commission standards) to integrate basic electrical engineering knowledge and standards expertise. This eliminates time-consuming research and complex manual work. Electrical Designer simplifies the design of main circuits by automatically selecting components, verifying short-circuit calculations, sizing cables, and generating all necessary documentation – all in one simple process.

• Software for standard-compliant dimensioning of a machine's main electrical circuits; from switching components and motor starters to correct cable dimensioning and short-circuit calculations
• Speeds up electrical design by eliminating time-consuming, manual steps, making work easier and more reliable
• Enables location-independent and collaborative project work with always up-to-date engineering data

Electrical engineers often face limitations when designing electrical equipment for machines. Excessive caution and time pressure can lead to the reuse of old designs, including outdated or inefficient concepts. Furthermore, mechanical design data and documents often cannot be seamlessly incorporated into the electrical design and must be reworked. This presents significant potential for cost savings and quality improvement. Electrical Designer from Siemens, part of the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, helps save time and prevent errors, thereby improving engineering quality. Tasks that previously took hours can now be completed in less than half the time. Electrical Designer automatically selects the components for the entire main current circuit according to IEC 60204-1, performs short-circuit calculations, enables precise cable dimensioning, and generates the required documentation—all within a single workflow. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual calculations. Thanks to cloud technology, users can collaborate on projects from anywhere and always have access to the most up-to-date engineering data. This innovation strengthens Siemens' position as a technology leader in digital control cabinet design and opens up new possibilities for more efficient engineering.
