Overview
My Ecodial L
My Ecodial L is software used to assist in designing low-voltage networks and includes:

 a diagram editor using standardised components,
 calculation functions that comply with standards NF-C 15 100 and UTE-C 15 500.
My Ecodial L offers a number of additional functions: project management, detailed calculation results,
printer configuration, product searches in the data base, association of circuit breakers for discrimination
and cascading, comparison of tripping curves. It can also be used to import a project created using
another program (XML format) and export diagrams and calculations in a number of formats. The
exported files can be used in other programs (e.g. word processing, drawing programs).
My Ecodial L can be used to design networks with the following general characteristics:
voltage 220 to 690 V

frequency 50 or 60 Hz
system earthing TT, TN or IT
arrangement
sources Up to four identical transformers or generators (two sets of sources
can be created, one for normal operation and the other for backup)
Loop networks are not covered.

Open an old project
When a project created using an old version of the software is opened, there are two possibilities.
 You can open the project and recalculate it. The network can then be modified without any particular
limitations.
 You can open the project without recalculating it. In this case, the existing part of the network is locked
and cannot be modified, but it is possible to add circuits. If necessary, the locked part can be unlocked
at any time.
Concerning locked projects
Display
 The locked circuits are displayed on a blue background in the network diagram (5).
Modifications
 It is possible to add circuits to a locked project. The new components are not locked and can be used
without any particular limitations.
 It is possible to modify the length of busbars and busbar trunking (BTS) that are locked.
 It is possible to display the characteristics of circuits that are locked, but they cannot be modified. They
cannot be moved or deleted either.
 The general characteristics of the network cannot be modified.
 The network cannot be renumbered.
Calculations
 Following a network extension, the power sum must be run, but the source cannot be modified. If the
latter is not suitable, a warning message is displayed when the power-sum window is opened. It is
necessary either to eliminate outgoers or to unlock the project and modify the source.
 Following a network extension, it is possible to pre-size the network, update the calculations or
recalculate the network. In a step by step calculation, it is not possible to modify the characteristics of
locked circuits. The network is completely recalculated, including the locked part, but the calculation is
run as if all circuits were set to manual.

Logical check on the network
Network → Logical checking F3
This command is used to check the validity of the network diagram. The checks listed below are run.
 Source configuration
The network can have three types of sources, transformers, generators and special sources created
by the user. The following configurations are authorised:
 The first set of sources is considered the normal source. All the elements in this group must be
identical (one to four transformers or one to four generators).
 The second set of sources is considered the replacement source. All the elements in this group
must be identical (one to four transformers or one to four generators).
 If a special source is used, all other types of sources may not be used.
 The network must have at least one source.
 Consistency of cross references

Each incoming cross reference must correspond to an outgoing cross reference.
 Problems with loops

Equipment can have only one incomer from the upstream equipment.
 Single network
A project may consist of only one network.
If you do not carry out the logical check on the network, it is run automatically prior
to network calculation.
Run the check
In the Network menu, click Logical checking. The result is displayed in a message.

Once the network has been created, a certain number of modifications are possible.
