Try the auto solve solution available in most of them or use them manually. Explore the different assistants and integrated functions below.
Place and edit labels and markers. Use the option to Automatically generate labels to create standard labels for each product on your mounting rail. Automatically adjust the font size and obtain the maximum font size per marker type.
Add wire end ferrules Automatically or manually edit the wires and wire end ferrules. Choose the colour, conductor type, length and further properties of the wires.
View the list of Supply parts with information like article number or material short text and easily adjust the quantity.
Use the function Add wire connection to connect two cable inserts with a selectable wire. The WMC marks possible connection points in red, which you can easily connect with two mouse-clicks. Afterwards, you can select the properties of the cable, such as the color, diameter and length.
By selecting the Add cross-connectors function, the WMC marks possible spots to place cross-connectors with grey squares. Select the desired terminals you want to connect and choose an appropriate cross-connector from an (automatically suggested) article list.
Select the function Add busbar to add busbars to selected components. The WMC marks possible places with a red dot. After choosing two dots to connect, you can select a busbar to be used.
By clicking on Verify in the top bar the verify assistent opens. With a click on Verify the WMC examines your terminal rail(s) on missing electrical as well as non-electrical components or acessories. In addition, it is also checked whether it is an electrically safe solution
If the WMC detects an error or a missing component, it is displayed and can be corrected either manually or automatically by clicking on Auto-Solve.
Download the project documentation for further use or submit an order request directly to Weidmüller.
By clicking on Bill of material you can download a csv-file including all the components of your configuration. This file can be uploaded to the Weidmüller eShop or to the website of your favorite wholesaler.
