ECT's top-of-the-line
product, promis•e, is intelligent software
for control system design. With promis•e, a user can generate
control system schematics, panel layouts, bills of material, wire
lists, terminal plans, and more in record time, because promis•e
automates the design process.
promis•e provides a set of
powerful drawing functions including symbol libraries, macros, cut
& paste editing, and automatic line (wire) breaking. But in addition,
promis•e automatically performs many non-value
added tasks such as ID assignment, cross referencing, wire numbering
and list generation. These tedious operations are performed not only
much faster but with fewer errors. This intelligence is what sets
promis•e apart from ordinary mechanical CAD solutions.
promis•e
seamlessly integrates the elements of the total control system design.
By clicking on cross reference links, the Navigator function takes
you from one occurrence of an ID (say a relay coil) to the next occurrence
of that ID (such as an auxiliary contact) on another schematic page.
You can also jump from a schematic symbol to that same item in a panel
layout or wiring diagram drawing, or from a displayed part number
to the full database screen for that part. The result? You work rapidly
with maximum efficiency.
promis•e
is a multi-discipline design tool, suitable for electrical, process
control, hydraulic and pneumatic applications.
A truly international solution, promis•e fully supports both
IEC/DIN and ANSI/JIC page and symbol formats. Dialogs and menus can
be set for various languages including English, German, French, Italian
and Spanish.
The full-featured promis•e
software is available in two versions:
promis•e Add-On
Running as an application inside AutoCAD®, promis•e Add-on
control system design software allows AutoCAD users to remain in
a familiar environment while accessing the full functionality of
promis•e.
promis•e Standalone
A self-contained software system, promis•e Standalone requires
no additional CAD software to deliver its powerful control system
design functionality.
