festoPlanners and developers can quickly create their integrated circuit diagrams with the "Fluiddraw Professional" software from Festo. The intelligent software solution ensures clear structures in a user-friendly manner, from the idea through planning to system and machine construction, even with complex systems - now also with electrical circuit diagrams. The new software solution is based on the functional foundation of the Fluiddraw S5.

Fluiddraw Professional simplifies the planning of complete plants and simplifies the implementation of individual components. Even complex integrated circuit diagrams document and manage the software in a simple way. Users access the Festo product database and even imported databases, benefit from intelligent evaluation functions and create construction plans in the shortest possible time. Whenever it makes sense for holistic plant documentation, it links electrical symbols with pneumatic ones.

The software is embedded in the system of the Festo engineering tools, which provide paperless and uninterrupted support to users from planning, selection, design and ordering through to delivery and commissioning. Electrical components of pneumatic components are noted automatically. The contact mirror for Relais and Sagittarius is kept up to date. Worrying about forgotten connections is now a thing of the past.

Icons and BOM items are also intelligently linked on the screen. For more flexibility and individual design, all columns of the parts lists can be freely arranged. There are also various options such as totals or item BOMs. In addition, there are practical evaluation functions such as terminal and cable diagrams as well as cable lists for electrical circuits. The optimal overview is ensured by a freely floating navigation window.
