Control Circuit 2026

Control Circuit 2026 is an electrical schematic CAD package built specifically for the people who design and build industrial control panels — a focused alternative to the heavyweight tools available elsewhere, at a fraction of the cost.

Data driven, it keeps a proper database under the hood: every symbol, wire, terminal and cable is a real object in a clean, human-readable XML model, and the canvas is simply a view onto it. That distinction is what makes the most useful things readily possible — automatic wire numbering and cable markers that stay consistent across every sheet, cross-referencing between coil and contacts, terminal plans and BOMs generated straight from the design instead of retyped by hand, and a component database so a contactor you place carries its real part number and terminal layout with it. Default symbol libraries are included, and a Symbol Editor — so you can create your own.

When the design is done you get a comprehensive printing and data export system, and for Pro License users you may publish to an interactive web viewer, so the panel wireman can open it in a web browser on the shop floor, click a wire, mark it off with a virtual highlighter pen, click a Tag and see component data — no paper, no stale revisions lying around. Pro License also gives you Smart PDF — with clickable XREFs — and whole project DXF Export too.

Control Circuit 2026 — built by an electrical and controls engineer, with all the tools you need, none you don't, and the workflow simplicity you've come to expect from XML Control apps.
