Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • -Provides a significant amount of functionality required for wiring diagrams, control panel layouts, and electrical installation, as well as built-in reports, pdfs, charts, lists, etc. -We also have the hydraulics & pneumatics add-on and the standard symbols are already available in the software. -Parts library is quite extensive and free! -PLC, terminal, contactor managers save so much time! -Also offers interfaces to many manufacturers like Siemens TIA, Weidmuller, etc. -Has a symbol editor -Custom wire numbering -Support team are very responsive and helpful!
  • 1) Comprehensive Electrical Design. 2) User Friendly Interface. 3) Symbol Libraries. 4) Automatic Cross Referencing. 5) Integration with Automation Tools. 6) 3D View.
  • The package offers an extensive component library which aids design speed. The automatic reporting again aids design speed and offers a excellent level of documentation for end users. The augmented reality application is an excellent add in for end customers ability to fault find.

Cons

  • - For optimum efficiency of the software, a good spec PC/laptop is recommended!
  • WSCAD might require relatively higher system resources, which could lead to slower performance on older computers windows 7or systems without adequate hardware specifications.
  • The software lacks a busbar function which would complete the offering.
