All elements are stored in a human-readable XML format, making it possible to create or modify custom Siemens symbols using the built-in Element Editor.
The library is part of the broader , which contains over 8,000 symbols. Siemens-specific elements typically found in this library include:
Symbols for the S7-1200, S7-1500, and Logo! series, including input/output modules. i--- Qelectrotech Siemens Library -
The is a specialized collection of digital symbols and elements used within QElectroTech (QET), a free and open-source CAD software for creating industrial electrical diagrams. This library specifically provides standardized components for Siemens industrial automation products , allowing engineers and students to design professional-grade schematics including PLCs, motor starters, and HMI displays. Core Components of the Siemens Library
Elements come with predefined metadata like manufacturer , article number , and order number , which can be exported to a .csv nomenclature for procurement. All elements are stored in a human-readable XML
Using the Siemens library in QElectroTech offers several technical advantages for industrial documentation:
Circuit breakers, thermal relays, and residual current devices like the Siemens Sirius line. series, including input/output modules
HMI touch screens (ecran IHM tactile) and pilot lights.
Automatically updated links between related elements (e.g., a contactor coil and its associated contacts).
The library works seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and macOS versions of the software. How to Install and Use the Library Share the elements library (Page 1) - QElectroTech
