WSCAD Compact

Course Overview

WSCAD can be used to produce circuit diagrams for a wide range of applications such as control and automation technologies, measuring and regulating equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, power engineering, electronics, control cabinet layouts and many other areas.

The combination of multiple functionality with ultra-simple operation is a key feature of WSCAD. In addition to all the expected functions, WSCAD offers some more unusual ones to make the production of circuit and wiring diagrams quick and easy.

What can WSCAD 5 do?

WSCAD is an ultra-modern tool for circuit design in all kinds of applications. WSCAD is the most productive CAD program on the market, combining maximum efficiency with economy.

WSCAD's rapid and intuitive access to all functions, its ease of navigation through the drawing sets, its simple operation and high processing speed allow you to create very large projects in a very short time.

Whatever your current design project, WSCAD can show you the simplest and most direct way to achieve your goal.

Something for everyone
With WSCAD 5 you simply obtain everything you expect from a modern circuit design software package.

The right tools and accessories make planning and order processing more reliable and accurate. All you need to add is the necessary measure of confidence.

A continual workflow from the start of planning through to contract completion ensures the smooth running of the production process.

The Compact version is often found in the maintenance department. The strength of the Compact version lies in the adaptable circuit design, such as when an installation or machine already exists and needs a fair amount of modification. In addition, this version is especially suitable for the creation of diagrams for small to medium-sized projects. Various automatic functions are available to the user, such as cross-referencing, terminal charts, numbering and contact mirroring.

A well-trained engineer can use the full functionality of the software, without having to waste time trying to learn it themselves. Investment in good training can pay for itself in a very short space of time. You can choose for yourself which is the best solution in terms both of training and economy: having standard WSCAD questions answered by IT specialists and colleagues, working from the manuals, or having the benefit of a WSCAD training course.
