E³.cable - describes the total electrical and electronic system.

With E³.cable the entire electrical and electronic system is documented. During the development predefined elements are used, which are either manufactured in-house, or purchased from a supplier, where their I/O behavior is documented. The complete system is a result of the predefined elements, such as PCBs, actuators, sensors and the connections between them.

PCB design data can be imported directly in E³.cable, where a function block is generated, the interface connectors are placed and the signal definition and additional attributes are imported. Using this functionality the data flow between PCB design and system design is done with just a few clicks.

This saves a lot of time-consuming work and prevents mistakes while manually inputting. The data is transferred via an E³.series standard format, a very simple CSV file or using specific E³.series interfaces.
