ControlDraw - Main Features
ControlDraw allows hundreds of pages of diagrams to be kept in one file and related to each other through hierarchical models and spreadsheet table
Diagrams can also contain useful data, and ControlDraw provides the means to build and add to that data, for example to generate an instruments database, control system Input/Output lists, and much more. The (MS Access) database can be automatically
populated from the diagrams in a ControlDraw model.
With ControlDraw you can:
- Draw diagrams by dragging and dropping symbols and connecting them together
- Build Models - hierarchically linked diagrams which you can drill down from a high level overview to the smallest level of detail.
- Draw procedural logic such as S88 Recipe
procedures, Unit procedures,
Operations and Phases
- Design state oriented modules such as S88
control and equipment
modules.
- Build state matrix tables where the rows and columns in the tables are from objects in the
diagrams, for example equipment state matrices.
- Draw a diagram once and then create multiple instances of the data associated with the
diagram.
- Make polymorphic diagrams, where one diagram can cover many similar but
different modules
- Build libraries of reusable modules or objects.
- Record data for each of the objects on your diagrams and each instance in
the model,
- Generate Complete documentation including specifications and test sheets
as PDF files
