Compact Data Download: All Item Data in One Place
WAGO’s Smart Designer configurator offers a practical new function: With it, you can now directly download all the item data required for your configuration with just a few mouse clicks. This quick and easy function provides the complete data package for your further engineering process.
Here’s how it works:
Mini Terminal Block Configurator
A new feature is now available in our Smart Designer configurator for quickly creating the busbar terminal block you need from our wide range of offerings for Mini Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks. Just select the desired parameters for the application – such as the rating data, actuation type, number of pins, colors and accessories – and Smart Designer provides the right busbar terminal block.
Order Configurable Terminal Block Assemblies Directly from Your Wholesaler with Just One Click
The ELBRIDGE Interface is a standard developed by ETIM Germany for connecting wholesale shops to the industry's product configurators. Its big advantage is technically simplifying the ordering process. With the new version of the ELBRIDGE Interface 2.0, you start the process directly in the Smart Designer. After completing the configuration, you transfer the parts list to the wholesaler shop with just one click.
Here's how it works:
Familiar Planning in the CAE Tool
Use your familiar CAE tool for planning circuit diagrams. WAGO offers you high-quality CAE product data and CAE macros. Interfaces to several CAE tools (e.g., ePLAN or WSCAD) allow planned terminal strips to be created automatically in the Smart Designer configurator.
Configure Individual Products
Documentation
Export parts lists and assembly diagrams directly from the WAGO Smart Designer configurator to create production documents or support ordering.
You benefit from the automatic import of item numbers for individual components into your ERP system and from complete, standards-compliant PDF documentation (e.g., per FSF standard for track and rail vehicles).
Marking
Marking control cabinets is easy with the WAGO thermal transfer Smart Printer: Depending on how you work, you have the option of printing markings from a large variety of systems (with a standard CAE tool, WAGO's Smart Designer Configurator and Smart Script Marking Software).
You also benefit from a printer with a low purchase price that is universally suitable for marking everything in the control cabinet.
CAD Design
Use your usual CAD tool to import your configuration from Smart Designer. This is possible without exception thanks to the availability of various CAD formats (neutral and native 2D/3D CAD formats).
Technical and commercial item information is available to you in the form of high-quality data.
You determine the product data granularity yourself.
