: Simply drag and drop the desired Siemens element from the panel directly onto your drawing area. The element will appear on your diagram, ready for wiring. It allows electrical engineers, control panel builders, and

It allows electrical engineers, control panel builders, and automation technicians to seamlessly integrate Siemens PLCs (such as the S7-1200 and S7-1500), safety relays, contactors, and HMI panels into their schematics without drawing components from scratch. By utilizing these standardized elements, teams can drastically reduce schematic layout time and ensure compliance with international industrial standards like IEC 61082. Why Use QElectroTech for Siemens Schematics?

If a specific component is missing, QET provides excellent tools for creating your own elements. Some users have used this method to build custom libraries for major brands, including WAGO, highlighting the power of community contribution.

The official elements repository on GitHub ( qelectrotech/qelectrotech-elements ) contains the complete symbol library used by QET. You can browse the collection online via the online collection viewer or clone the repository for offline use.
