BURGAW, N.C. (September 10, 2003) – Wieland Electric Inc. has been awarded the iF Design Award in the field of Communication Design for its terminal block assembly software “Wieplan”. Industrie Forum Design Hannover, also known as iF, is among the leading design institutes worldwide dealing with industrial design. The iF awards are granted to companies for products which are outstanding for their functional and trendsetting design. The major purpose of “Wieplan” is ordering and managing terminal block rail projects, but it also automatically generates drawings, part lists and ordering data documentation. All terminal block types in the Wieland electronic catalog can be ordered via a shopping cart individually or as a completed DIN rail terminal block list for a rail assembly.“This innovative software allows design engineers to create DIN rail terminal block assemblies in accordance to the specifications of their projects and assists them through every step, from design, to a technical drawing of the rail, to marking tag designation, and finally to a complete part list for ordering,” states Engineering Manager Marc Immordino. “It then can interact with our “Wiemarc” marking tag program that generates the custom marking tags for the completed rail assembly”. A very special feature of the software is its user-friendly menu guide with several program-supporting “help” functions. For example, wieplan provides a favorites function which saves basic terminal block configurations and makes them available for other terminal block models in the future. A cross check function prevents users from designing illogical terminal block assemblies, and prior to the ordering mode, “Wieplan” checks all data for correctness. Errors in the terminal block assemblies are avoided in advance, providing optimal results for the engineer.
