Project planning for terminal strips at the click of a mouse

6 November 2002 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Phoenix Contact's Clip Select project planning software has become particularly efficient in the new version, V3.0, now that it includes interfaces to EPLAN and to the Computer Marking System marking software. As a module in the process chain, the software takes care of data flow in the chain from project planning through to the labelling printer. Manual data entry can be eliminated. Additionally, it now supports ease of use in realtime with correct-scale colour graphics of the terminal strips.

The project planning software achieves 60% time savings in project planning for terminal strips. An autocorrect function automatically adds all necessary components such as covers and separator plates, thus providing high security to the user. A data export feature to text and graphics editing applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint gives the software universal applicability. It can also export vector graphics in AutoCAD's .dxf format. A bi-directional CSV/ASCII interface provides data exchange with other systems.

Full documentation for the terminal strips outputs to normal printers. This can be used for producing or directly ordering the strips. Users can get current product data, software updates, and handy tips by visiting Phoenix Contact's website: www.phoenixcontact.com/de/produkte/clipselect.
