About Exporting Terminal Strips to Wago, Phoenix Contact and Weidmuller Applications

You can export terminal strips from AutoCAD Electrical toolset and then import them to Wago, Phoenix Contact or Weidmuller applications to design, manipulate, and validate the terminal strips.

During export, AutoCAD Electrical toolset extracts the terminal data from the selected terminal strips and outputs to an XML file compatible with Wago or Phoenix Contact, or a CAEDEX file compatible with Weidmuller. You then import the XML/CAEDEX file to the manufacturer tool.

The terminal strip data includes catalog numbers, terminal numbers, installation code, location code, tag, spares, and accessories.

Catalog Number Assignment

If a terminal in AutoCAD Electrical toolset does not have a catalog number assignment or has a catalog from a manufacturer other than the manufacturer tool, a generic terminal is shown. You can change the generic terminals to specific terminals types in the manufacturer tool.

In the Wago application:

In the Phoenix Contact application:

In the Weidmuller application:

Note: To avoid having generic terminals, assign catalog numbers from Wago, Phoenix or Weidmuller to the terminals before export.
