AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS

AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS (3-SESSION COURSE IN 2 DAYS) DETAILED COURSE CONTENTS This 2-day course is designed to assist the students who are new to AutoCAD Electrical, one of industry’s most requested skills. After completing this course, students will be able to design wiring diagrams, insert components and terminals, create ladder diagrams, perform point-to-point wiring, create custom symbols, and add annotations like title blocks to drawings. This course will also prepare students to pass the AutoCAD Electrical Fundamentals competency test.

MODULE 1 -WORKING WITH WIRES  Insert different types of wires  Modify inserted wires  Create wire layers  Create and manage wire types and their properties  Insert, erase, hide, fix, and reposition wire numbers  Insert the special wire numbering  Insert in-line wire markers  Understand the source and destination signal arrows  Insert cable markers in wires  Show the source and destination markers on wires  Check line entities on non-wire layers  Manipulate wire gaps  Lab: Insert wire numbers  Lab: Create a wire type using the Create/Edit Wire Type tool

MODULE 2 - CREATING LADDERS  Create ladders  Insert a new ladder in the drawing  Modify an existing ladder  Understand the format referencing of ladders  Lab: Insert a ladder into the drawing  Lab: Stretch and revise the ladder

MODULE 3 -SCHEMATIC COMPONENTS  Insert schematic components  Annotate and edit schematic symbols  Assign catalog part number to components  Create parent-child relationship between components  Swap or update blocks  Insert components from the equipment, panel, and catalog lists  Add a new record in the Schematic Component or Circuit dialog box  Edit an existing record in the Schematic or Circuit dialog box  Lab: Insert a ladder with four rungs into the drawing  Lab: Add the catalog information to the component  Lab: Use the Swap/Update Block tool

MODULE 4 - CONNECTORS,POINT-TO-POINT WIRING DIAGRAMS, AND CIRCUITS  Insert connectors  Edit the existing connector and connector pin numbers  Insert splices  Create and edit point-to-point wiring diagrams  Insert wires and multiple wire bus  Bend wires at right angle  Create, insert, move, and copy circuits  Insert WBlock circuits  Save circuits using WBlock  Build a circuit using the Circuit Builder tool  Add multiple-phase ladders and wires  Add three-phase symbol to a multiple-phase circuit  Lab: Create a point to point wiring diagram  Lab: Create a point to point wiring diagram using connectors and a splice  Lab: Insert a user-circuit into the drawing

MODULE 5 -PANEL LAYOUTS  Understand the WD_PNLM block file  Create panel layouts from schematic list  Annotate and edit a footprint  Insert footprints from icon menu  Add a new record of footprint to the footprint lookup table  Insert footprints manually  Insert footprints from user defined list, equipment list, and vendors menu  Copy a footprint  Set the panel drawing configuration and footprint layers  Make an Xdata visible  Insert balloons, nameplates, and DIN Rail into drawing  Edit the footprint lookup database file  Lab: Extract schematic component list from the CADCIM project using the Schematic List tool  Lab: Edit the footprints  Lab: Insert a footprint manually in the drawing file  Lab: Create a drawing and insert footprint MODULE 6 -PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC)MODULES  Insert parametric and nonparametric PLC modules  Edit parametric and nonparametric PLC modules  Insert individual PLC I/O points  Create and modify the parametric PLC modules  Create PLC I/O wiring diagrams using the spreadsheet data  Map the spreadsheet information  Modify and save the new setting configuration  Tag components and wire numbers based on PLC I/O address  Lab: Insert a ladder and a parametric PLC module into the ladder  Lab: Generate PLC drawings using the PLC I/O Utility tool
