Process phases
At each phase of the process, Siemens provides comprehen-
sive online functions free of charge.
This ensures that all the necessary information and product
data are available around the clock at any location
worldwide.
Configurators for products and systems
With just a few mouse clicks, you will find yourself guided by
the configurator to a suitable product or system. Simply enter
the relevant parameters and select your individual solution.
CAx Download Manager
The CAx Download Manager can suppl
y you
with all the
necessary CAx file types for the products of your choice for
use in all common CAE and CAD systems. The data con-
tained in the files is continuously updated. The whole process
involves only four selection steps and is free of charge. All the
files you select will then be compiled into a zip file and made
available for you to download for further use. This results in a
time saving of up to 80 % because there is no need for
manual data collection thanks to the universal manu
fac
turer
data for all commonly used CAE and CAD systems.
My Documentation Manager
To provide support when creating the plant documentation,
we have developed a manual configurator. My Documenta-
tion Manager enables you to assemble the standard-compli-
ant plant documentation individually with just a few clicks of
the mouse. Simply select the required sections from the exist-
ing manuals of the installed Siemens products.
EPLAN Electric P8 Macro – a big plus for EPLAN users
Using the EPLAN E
lectric P8
Macro in .edz exchange format
(EPLAN Data Archived Zipped) the overall time required for
data integration can be further reduced. With just a few
clicks, the data types for any number of article numbers can
be imported and combined. In this way, it is possible for the
installed Siemens products to be displayed across different
pages of the circuit diagram quickly and easily.
At a glance
Without Planning Efficiency a lot of time would often be lost
due to manual data transmission. Now you are a
ble to
conc
entrate on the essentials. All necessary information and
product data is provided by Siemens for easy retrieval.
This makes the control cabinet configuration process more
efficient and simplifies your everyday work.

The configurator supplies the appropriate 3D models and dimension
drawings for the control cabinet construction diagram.
The CAx Download Manager makes 11 universal data types
available, as well as the EPLAN Electric P8 macro.
The EPLAN Electric P8 macro in .edz exchange format offers even
more compared to the .ema exchange format.
