Control panel software

[malinimv]

Is there a software for designing control panels ? Like, if we input a list of control devices, it automatically generates a wiring diagam. I vaguely heard of something like that, but is there actually some software that makes control panel design easier ?

Thanks

AutoCAD Electrical is meant for control system design, and will handle schematics as well as panel layout. I've been using it for a couple of years now. It still has a way to go, but I find I can customize the parts databases easily to add components that don't appear in the base package.

I create PLC I/O drawings with a standard field device in each line, then I export to an Excel spreadsheet, make my changes there, and import the corrected version. All the devices update to the correct symbol/name etc.
