"Switch cabinet and machine views" refer to the graphical representation of control cabinets and machines in industry, particularly in the fields of electrical engineering, automation technology, and mechanical engineering. These views are used to visualize and document the spatial arrangement of electrical components, circuits, controls, and other devices in a control cabinet or machine.
Typical functions of software in the area of "switch cabinet and machine views" include:
Graphic modeling: The software allows for the modeling and visualization of control cabinets and machines in a 2D or 3D environment.
Component library: An extensive collection of standard components, circuits, and parts that can be used in control cabinets and machines.
Drag-and-drop functionality: Users can easily drag and drop components and parts into the view and place them where needed.
Wiring diagrams: The software enables the creation of wiring diagrams to illustrate the connections between the electrical components.
Collision checking: Automated checking for collisions and interferences between components in the control cabinet or machine view.
Labeling and documentation: Ability to label components and add notes or annotations for documentation purposes.
