Create, Test, Teach and Print Electrical Ladder Diagrams...
Once designed, any ladder diagram can then be virtually energized and operated on your computer. Great for training and troubleshooting.
New features in the Constructor 9.0

Create, Test and Print Ladder Diagrams
The Constructor program makes the creation, testing, trouble-shooting, teaching and printing of electrical ladder diagrams, schematics and one line diagrams fast and easy. The circuit will perform the same as a hard wired electrical circuit. The design can be edited and re-tested saving valuable time when it comes to hard wiring circuits and trouble-shooting scenarios. This program is unique in its ability to test an electrical circuit. You can see the power flow in the diagram and hear the sound effects when a motor or siren is energized. Once designed, any circuit can then be virtually energized and operated on your computer monitor.
Symbol Libraries and Symbol Editor
The built-in symbol libraries of over 600 symbols makes the creation of your diagrams
fast and easy. The built-in symbol editor allows you to create your own custom symbols for that special project.
Easy to Learn and Use
Help files, daily tips and a pdf manual makes learning to use this powerful software much faster and easier. Your complete circuit can be tested, from the three phase power components to the control circuit.
All the Features You Need
Powerful zooming features for faster editing and easier viewing of your electrical diagrams.
Over 50 color schemes allow you to set your personal color preference. Automatic legends and borders allow you to make professional looking diagrams quickly. You can print your ladder diagrams out on your choice of any printer or plotter that Windows supports. The diagram may be saved to your hard drive, flashdrive or a floppy disk for easy reference or modification. You can also save images from within The Constructor program as bitmap files. The bitmap files can then be used for printing or imported into other programs. Exporting your diagram as a DXF, DWG, JPG, GIF, TIF or PNG file is also an option.
Optional Additions Available
Optional PLC I/O libraries are available for most PLCs (Over 720 I/O modules)
An optional additional sound library allows you to add 126 more sound effects to your diagrams.
