QElectroTech Siemens Library: The Ultimate Guide to Automated Schematic Design Symbols for Sirius soft starters, contactors, and thermal

Enter – a powerful, free, and open-source software (FOSS) for creating electrical diagrams. While it is incredibly versatile, its native library often lacks the specific, brand-accurate symbols needed for Siemens hardware. This is where the concept of a QElectroTech Siemens Library becomes a game-changer.

When creating or editing a Siemens PLC element in the Element Editor, adhere to these standards: CPU modules, input/output modules, and power supplies

| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Missing dynamic text fields. | Re-open in Element Editor; add %ref and %manuf . | | Terminal numbers wrong (e.g., A1 instead of 13) | Wrong hotspot assignment. | Hotspots must match the datasheet naming. Edit element. | | Symbol doesn't scale | Drawn as "static shape" vs. "element primitive". | Redraw using lines/rectangles, not imported images. | | QET crashes when loading library folder | Corrupt .elmt XML tags. | Validate XML structure (e.g., with Notepad++ XML Tools). |

| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution in QElectroTech | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The terminal text was not set as a "dynamic label" | In element editor, select text → Check Dynamic text box. | | The PLC symbol is huge/small | Mismatched grid scale (QET default: 10px per unit) | Re-edit element; set Grid to 5 or 10 mm. | | Wires don't connect to terminals | Terminal contact point is 1mm off the wire grid | Use Snap to grid and move the terminal node precisely. | | Part number doesn't show in BOM | Missing manuf or ref info fields | Right-click element → Properties → Add manufacturer = Siemens AG . |
