PLC CPU Panel Footprint & 3D Component
PLC CPU is included as a reusable generic component for 2D panel and 3D panel. Its 90 × 100 × 75 mm panel envelope geometry gives you a practical starting point for PLC, safety, drive, and industrial-network panels, while every placed instance can retain project-specific engineering data.

What this component entry includes
The PLC CPU entry combines the editor symbol key “plc-cpu” with a physical representation sized for PLC, safety, drive, and industrial-network panels. Search terms such as controller, cpu are attached to the catalog entry so it is easier to find from the left component library.
- Library ID: panel-plc-cpu
- Category: Automation
- Editor symbol: plc-cpu
- Available in: 2D panel, 3D panel
- Panel envelope: 90 × 100 × 75 mm
- Mounting: Din rail
How it behaves in the editor
Add the part from the physical component library, then position it in 2D panel. The editor stores the physical part ID with the placed device so the schematic record, selected footprint, panel position, and reports remain connected instead of becoming unrelated drawings.
- Dimensioned footprint in the 2D enclosure view
- Shape-specific 3D geometry instead of an anonymous box
- Mounting classification: din rail
- Collision and enclosure-boundary checks
- GLB visualization export in metre units
Adapt it to a real manufacturer part
Use the custom part builder to record manufacturer, catalog number, terminal roles, symbol-pin mappings, width, height, depth, and mounting data. Saved project parts are versioned and placed devices retain an immutable definition snapshot.
- Check the latest manufacturer dimensional drawing
- Verify terminal or pad numbering against the schematic
- Confirm installation clearance and heat-dissipation requirements
- Record the exact catalog number and datasheet URL in the project
Use this component in five steps
- Open 2D panel and search for “PLC CPU” in the Components panel.
- Place the part, then select it to review its engineering and physical properties.
- Enter the real manufacturer and catalog number and adjust dimensions where the selected product differs.
- Position it on the backplate, DIN rail, or door; then check overlap and enclosure boundaries in 2D and 3D.
- Save or release the project so the selected physical data stays with the issued design.
Engineering boundaries
- This library entry is a generic, editable starting point—not a manufacturer-certified CAD model. Confirm the selected manufacturer drawing, pin numbering, tolerances, clearances, and cutout before fabrication.
- The 3D asset is parametric visualization geometry and GLB handoff, not an imported STEP/Parasolid manufacturer model.
- Electrical ratings shown in project fields are documentation inputs; they are not automatically certified against regional codes or the component datasheet.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PLC CPU available in the online editor?
Yes. Search for it in the Components panel while using 2D panel and 3D panel. The placed component keeps the library ID with its engineering record.
What dimensions does this PLC CPU entry use?
The editable catalog profile uses 90 × 100 × 75 mm panel envelope. These are starting dimensions and should be checked against the exact ordered part and its current manufacturer drawing.
Can I change the dimensions or terminal map?
Yes. Use the custom part builder to copy a compatible archetype, then define manufacturer, catalog number, width, height, depth, mounting, physical terminals, semantic roles, and symbol-pin mappings. Placed devices retain an immutable revision snapshot.
Is this a manufacturer-certified model?
This library entry is a generic, editable starting point—not a manufacturer-certified CAD model. Confirm the selected manufacturer drawing, pin numbering, tolerances, clearances, and cutout before fabrication.
