Siemens Revolutionizes Electrical Design in Industry with New Software

Dec 4, 2025 - Siemens Revolutionizes Electrical Design in Industry with New Software Designer

December 4, 2025

Electrical Designer: New Smart Software Feature Is the First & Only in the IEC Market Allowing for Electrical Planning from Switchgear to Cables

  • Software for standards-compliant dimensioning of a machine’s electrical equipment – from switchgear to correctly sized cables
  • Speeds up electrical design by eliminating time-consuming, manual steps, making work easier and more reliable
  • Enables location-independent, collaborative work on projects using planning data that is always up to date

Siemens has expanded the TIA Selection Tool Cloud with the new “Electrical Designer” feature for electrical planning. This smart software is the first and only in the IEC market (application of International Electrotechnical Commission standards) that includes basic electrical knowledge and standards expertise, eliminating the need for time-consuming research and complex manual work. Electrical Designer simplifies main circuit design by automatically selecting components, verifying short-circuits, sizing cables, and creating all necessary documentation in one easy process.

Electrical planners often encounter limitations when designing electrical equipment for machines. An overabundance of caution and time pressure can result in the adoption of old plans, including outdated or inefficient concepts. Frequently, mechanical design data and documents cannot be processed seamlessly in the electrical design and have to be reworked. This offers enormous potential for savings and quality improvement. Siemens’ Electrical Designer, part of the TIA Selection Tool Cloud, helps save time and avoid errors, therefore improving planning quality.

Tasks that used to take hours can now be done in less than half the time: the Electrical Designer automatically selects the components for the complete main circuit in accordance with IEC 60204-1, provides short-circuit verification, allows for precise cable sizing, and creates the necessary documentation – all in one workflow. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual calculations. Thanks to cloud technology, users can collaborate on projects from anywhere and always have access to the latest planning data. 

This innovation strengthens Siemens’ position as a major technology name in digital control panel design and opens up new possibilities for more efficient engineering.

Electrical Designer from Siemens is a quantum leap in electrical planning. It’s the world’s first browser-based solution to combine standards compliance, short-circuit analysis, and automatic dimensioning. It cuts planning time in half, eliminates errors, and provides specific standards knowledge. For us, this is the future of engineering

    • Benefits at a Glance

    • End-to-End Short-Circuit Analysis: Electrical Designer is the first and only solution on the market to offer end-to-end verification of short-circuit resistance in accordance with IEC standards, from the individual load to the feed point in the machine. 
    • Complete Machine Design Instead of Individual Calculations: If the software knows the loads for the machine, the tool automatically selects suitable switchgear, controls, and network components and generates parts lists and complete documentation.
    • Up-to-Date Knowledge of Standards: Electrical Designer automatically checks the requirements defined in the relevant standards (currently IEC 60204-1). 
    • Cloud-Based & Future-Proof: As a completely browser-based solution, there is no need for installations and updates. Electrical Designer offers device-independent access at any time using the latest software, enables easy project transfer, and helps companies cut planning times in half. This increases scalability and ensures investment protection. 
    • Simulate & Test Load Limits: Thanks to flexible calculation logic, planners can simulate different short-circuit scenarios in order to optimally adapt the electrical system to local grid conditions.

    Electrical Designer is available free of charge to all TIA Selection Tool Cloud users.

    ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

    Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

    Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
