UNI-TOOL
PLAN + AUTOMATION 100% INTEGRATED VERSION
UNI-TOOL
Professional
is the integrated version in a single
enviroment of the CAD programs UNI-TOOL
Plan and UNI-TOOL
Automation.
UNI-TOOL Professional
is software developed on Windows 95/98/NT
platform for the design of civil and industrial
electrical systems, electrical schematics
for industrial automation, electrical
panels and electromechanical devices.
CIVIL/INDUSTRIAL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN
UNI-TOOL
Professional consists of a
powerful 2D CAD that allows one to generate,
in an extremely easy and fast way, room
planimetries on which one can subsequently
position symbols and wires belonging to
the electrical (or other) system. Following
the planimetric system design you can
directly extract single/multi-wire schematics
of the corresponding electrical panels.
The program
has specific functions for cable and
protection device dimensioning.
UNI-TOOL
Professional directly extracts
from designs, bills of materials and part
lists (with detailed descriptions, prices,
technical data, etc.) extracted from the
UNI-TOOL internal database or from other
external database files.
UNI-TOOL Professional
was developed in a proprietary environment
absolutely independent from any other
CAD programs (such as AutoCAD® or
similar). Engineers and installers will
find in this product all the commands
and tools necessary for the completion
of an electromechanical design with no
need to resort to other external software.
INDUSTRIAL
AUTOMATION AND ELECTRICAL PANEL DESIGN
UNI-TOOL
Professional
is engineering software developed on Windows
95/98/NT platform for industrial automation,
electrical panel and electromechanical
device design.
UNI-TOOL Professional
consists of a powerful 2D CAD
that allows to generate, in an extremely
easy and fast way, electromechanical designs
with unlimited single/multi-wire auxiliary
and/or power sheets, terminal strips and
PLC schematics.
In
addition to its design functions, UNI-TOOL
Professional automatically
processes the wire numbering, the filling
of the coil/contact cross-reference
table for relays and remote control
switches, the terminal numbering and
the cable definition.
Finally, UNI-TOOL
Professional directly extracts
the entire project documentation composed
of terminal lists, cable lists, wiring
lists, reference lists and part lists.
UNI-TOOL Professional
also perfectly integrates and interfaces
with UNI-TOOL
Manager, another product
of the UNI-TOOL family. With UNI-TOOL
Manager it's possible
to extract more complex and detailed
bills of materials and estimates with
prices, labor tables, cost analysis
and warehouse management functions.
UNI-TOOL
Professional
can also automatically process a single
sheet belonging to a whole multi-sheet
project, in order to extract complete
bills of materials with part numbers,
codes, descriptions, prices, etc. You
may directly extract information from
an internal database containing the
product descriptions provided by the
leading component producers (Siemens,
Schneider, Klockner-Moeller, etc.).
UNI-TOOL
Professional is developed
in a proprietary environment absolutely
independent of any other CAD programs
(such as AutoCAD® or similar). Engineers
and installers will find in this product
all the commands and tools necessary
for the completion of an electromechanical
design with no need to resort to other
external software.
It's the UNI-TOOL
Professional complete independence
from other systems that has made it
possible to devise its specific procedures
and commands. Thanks to these features,
you can generate schematics and designs
in a much faster and more intuitive
way than compared with programs that
operate on already preexisting basis.
UNI-TOOL
Professional
is very easy-to-use because it works
in Microsoft Windows®.
UNI-TOOL
Professional is inexpensive
because it's completely autonomous software
and it doesn't require other CAD products
(such as AutoCAD®) to operate. Therefore
its cost is offset with the completion
of the first project!
