InCAD is the fastest web-based design platform with which you can create control engineering designs. The system works with a library system that allows you to configure the process installations to be controlled. The inCAD server quickly develops your design into control schemes and 3D cabinet layouts.
The installations can be built in a simple and fast way by dragging ready-made systems from the inCAD library system into the project folder. The selected systems can then be further configured via the process diagrams (P&ID;).
After selecting the control fabric, the necessary control equipment can be calculated and added automatically. All I/O points are then assigned automatically. For added flexibility, it is possible to manually configure and assign individual I/O points.
Within inCAD there is a wide range of design rules with which the operation of the installation can be configured as you see fit. From what powers should a star/delta connection or soft starer be used for a motor, for example? Or what short-circuit resistance should be taken into account?
The different elements can be easily coded in a format that can be configured at your own discretion. The code can include the (sequential) number of the control box, the system and/or the digital controller.
After compiling and configuring the installation, inCAD calculates the required switchgear fully automatically, generates the control diagrams and creates the cabinet design. This process is fast, so that the result can be viewed immediately.

The required switchgear is automatically selected by the system. Depending on the type of article, selection is made on properties such as current, voltage, power, number of make/break contacts, characteristic, short-circuit resistance, etc. In this way, the switch material is selected as optimally as possible. The manufacture is easy to change.
Depending on the space required and the specified minimum reserve space, inCAD calculates a suitable assembly of control boxes and then arranges them based on a standard template. The user can easily modify this template to adapt the layout of the control box to his/her needs. The heat development in the control cabinet is also determined and cabinet fans are automatically introduced into the design to meet the design requirements for temperature.
Depending on the power, cable length and the way in which the cables are installed, inCAD automatically calculates the required cabling for each element in accordance with the NEN-1010 standard. Corresponding cable glands and cable clamps are also selected.
inCAD processes the information provided by the user fully automatically into a complete control scheme containing the principle schemes, main current, control current, material lists, terminal connection lists, cable lists and layout drawing of the control box.
For additional insight, the generated control box can be viewed in 3D. In addition, it is possible to adjust the generated cabinet layout to your own liking.
The cabinet layout can be easily adjusted to your own liking by means of the template system. Here the different parts can be divided into sections. There is also a wide range of settings with which it is possible to further adjust the cabinet layout so that it meets the needs.
