!!exclusive!! - I--- Qelectrotech Siemens Library -

Since QElectroTech is open-source and does not come pre-loaded with official, encrypted Siemens .XML files (unlike EPLAN or TIA Selection Tool), this content focuses on how to build, find, customize, and manage Siemens components within QET.

1. Open QElectroTech.
2. Go to File > Preferences.
3. Navigate to the "Elements" tab.
4. Click "Refresh collection" or "Rebuild index."
5. Restart QET. If the "i" (indexing) icon is missing, check XML integrity.

Official QET Collection: This built-in, read-only library includes standard industrial symbols like motors, switches, and contactors compatible with Siemens specifications. i--- Qelectrotech Siemens Library -

The Workflow:

QET is designed to handle the complexity of industrial automation projects that frequently use Siemens hardware. Open QElectroTech

• Simple Elements: Static symbols (e.g., a generic Siemens motor breaker). These are used for single-line diagrams or simple connections.
• Macros (Dynamic Elements): The most valuable part of the Siemens library. Macros allow the user to place a complex component (like an 8-channel digital output card) and show/hide specific pins.
  • Siemens PLC modules (SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500, ET 200SP)
  • Contactors and overload relays (SIRIUS series)
  • Circuit breakers (5SY, 3RV, 3VL series)
  • Pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights (SIRIUS ACT)
  • Soft starters and frequency converters (SINAMICS G120, SIRIUS 3RW)
  • Power supplies (SITOP series)
  • Terminal blocks and relay modules
