Organize your Siemens content into logical subcategories within the User Collection to simplify navigation: PLCs & Modules : S7-1200, S7-1500, and ET 200SP distributed I/O. HMI Panels : Comfort and Basic panels. Drives & Starters : SINAMICS G120 series and SIRIUS motor starters. Switchgear : SENTRON circuit breakers and contactors. 2. Element Creation Workflow To develop specific Siemens components like the SIMATIC S7-1200 Base Template : Right-click an existing PLC element and select Edit element to use it as a foundation. SVG Import
: Symbols often follow standard sizing to allow for easy alignment in cabinet layouts. Drives & Starters : SINAMICS G120 series and
The easiest way to access Siemens components is through the official element collection that ships with QET. Starting with version 0.100.0, released in May 2026, the official collection has seen significant expansion in this area. The release notes specifically highlight: "New elements added for industrial and automation workflows (including Siemens-related elements, logic elements, sensors and Arduino components)".
