Qelectrotech Siemens Library -

Integrating Siemens components into QElectroTech (QET) involves utilizing built-in elements or importing community-contributed .elmt files to represent PLC, S7-1200, and S7-1500 hardware. Users can expand the library by importing DXF files from the Siemens Industry Mall or by editing XML-based elements to create custom, searchable component collections [1]. For more information, visit the QElectroTech community forum and download section.

How to Use Siemens Library Elements

  1. In QET’s Element panel, browse to your Siemens folder.
  2. Drag a component (e.g., S7-1200 CPU) onto the drawing.
  3. Connect wires using the Conductor tool.
  4. Edit properties (part number, terminal names, comments) by double-clicking the element.
  5. For PLCs, use QET’s PLC I/O management feature to assign addresses (I0.0, Q0.1, etc.) to the symbol’s terminals.

Step 5: Add Dynamic Text (Informations)

Use the Informations field to embed metadata. This allows the element to auto-populate a Bill of Materials (BOM). qelectrotech siemens library
