Update PLC Database

[Anonymous]

What are the steps to updating the PLC database, I currently only have ABB, AB, and telemecanique. I would like to have updated AB and also add the GE PLC line.

Those three are what come in with a standard default install. You can add more vendors to the catalog after install. Any vendors you add to the catalog db should also get added to the parametric PLC db.

Here's a link to the Knowledge Base article explaining how to add catalog info to the database: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-electrical/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/201...

Remember though, the catalog info is pretty dated. Since 2015, I think only Eaton has submitted updates to Autodesk for the ACADE catalogs. You may not find the exact product line you need if it's something new. Be prepared to have to make entries in the parts catalog and the parametric PLC databases if that's the case.

Hope this helps,
