The latest version of the Wieplan software package assists the user in creating a customized DIN rail assembly. Wieplan v1.7 allows users to quickly review the library of the vendor’s terminal blocks, including dimensional and electrical specifications.
The software guides users through an intuitive selection of these terminal blocks, based on characteristics such as function, current, voltage and size, or by block type or part number. A photo of the selected terminal block is shown along with dimensions and ratings. After composition of the terminal rail assembly, individual blocks can be jumpered and/or marked, and other accessories added. Plausibility checks are made with respect to end plates, partitions, covers and jumpers. Along with a bill of materials, the completed rail assembly drawing can be displayed, printed and exported electronically as either a .dxf or .zip file. The custom marking information can also be directly imported into the vendor’s Wiemarc 2.0 software used for the Wieplot 500 marking tag plotter.
