Single-line diagram

This represents all conductors as a single line.
It is used to provide a quick overview of an installation.

Multi-line diagram

Each conductor is represented individually.
This type of diagram is more accurate and is often used for industrial wiring.

The schematic diagram

This highlights the logical operation rather than the physical wiring.

With SchemELECT, these different types of diagrams can be generated and organised automatically within the same project.

SchemELECT facilitates the creation of internationally understandable diagrams thanks to a library of customizable multi-standard symbols.

The symbols comply with the main global standards:

• IEC
• DIN
• ANSI
• JIS
• BS
• Other standards

This standardization ensures that the diagram can be read universally, regardless of the language used. It is the first essential step before any multilingual translation.

Ceodeux Servitec Automatec uses SchemELECT to create electrical diagrams for its equipment. The tool fits naturally into their business, which involves integrating complex components such as robots, motorized axes, and measuring units.

The production of structured and reliable diagrams is essential for the manufacture and assembly of this equipment. SchemELECT is now one of the solutions used by the department to support their electrical designs.

FTZ-Panel 3D offers a comprehensive approach to designing and manufacturing electrical cabinets: smooth 3D modeling, easy component integration, rapid busbar creation, automatic wire and cable routing with length calculation, and output of manufacturing drawings in SchemELECT or DWG format. The video also presents a concrete example of a machine file including external wiring, providing a clear and consistent overview of the project.structure the end of the project. In this way, the team ensures reliable execution and eliminates costly oversights. Finally, the parts list outputs facilitate purchasing.

This project serves as a large-scale pilot for the SchemELECT software on a major tertiary project. B. Philippe, a member of Jean Graniou‘s design office, sums it up:

“This was our first truly 100% BIM project with Revit. Before, we mainly worked with AutoCADTM. The arrival of SchemELECT (for diagrams) and LISETM (for calculations) has profoundly changed the way we design diagrams.” The pilot nature of the project revealed specific tooling and methodology requirements, while validating the ability of the SchemELECT/LISE ecosystem to support an industrial pace on a programme of this size.

A professional industrial electrical diagram must be structured logically, with a clear organisation covering the different parts of the diagram: the synoptic, power, control and automation.

SchemELECT facilitates this process thanks to:

• the functional structuring of the project, the basis of which is defined in the software,
• automatic and consistent symbol identification,
• dynamic cross-referencing of page references,
• automatic wire numbering.

These functions ensure perfect consistency between all elements of the file, even for complex or large projects.

To speed up preparation, IP France uses libraries and predefined assemblies on SchemELECT. The software then automatically generates summaries, terminal blocks, cables and equipment lists. In addition, PLC information is automatically integrated into the file, eliminating the need for re-entry. FTZ-Panel 3D then precisely dimensions the cabinets and integrates cable trays, rails, plates and components from the diagram. Finally, the drilling plans provide clear guidance for the workshop.

‘We think about the schematic first. However, it is the automatic calculations at the end of the file that are the most valuable,’ emphasises Adrien G. These functions structure the end of the project. In this way, the team ensures reliable execution and eliminates costly oversights. Finally, the parts list outputs facilitate purchasing.
