The complete EleRun user guide

EleRun is a web application for industrial electrical circuits based on Draw – Run – Check. You can draw schematics, test supported device logic, and use Check to identify points needing review directly in your browser.

It suits industrial-electrical students, technicians, panel builders, people explaining circuit principles, and anyone wanting a quick logic test before detailed design or installation.

EleRun focuses on quick browser-based drawing, simulation, checking, and sharing. Dedicated electrical CAD is often stronger in engineering documentation, manufacturer libraries, numbering, reports, and large design workflows. EleRun does not try to turn every task into a heavyweight CAD system.

Create a project, place symbols and connect wires in Draw, switch to Run to test states, use Check to review, then save, export PDF/DXF, share a link, embed, or publish to the Community as needed.

No. EleRun runs in your browser. Sign in and work directly without installing a separate CAD suite just to draw or test a circuit.

These are not currently available user features. Drawing from descriptions, analyzing logic, and suggesting inspection points are on EleRun’s future Roadmap. Current Draw – Run – Check features are operated by the user.

Yes. A project can contain several circuit pages. Organize drawings into sections and switch between pages in the project tree.

In Draw, choose library symbols, place them on the canvas, connect terminals with wires, and arrange the drawing. Zoom, pan, and positioning tools help make the layout readable.

Yes. Undo returns to a previous editing step, and Redo restores an undone action. These controls are also available in the mobile interface.

Yes. Project management lets you reopen saved projects, rename them, and create a copy to explore another option without changing the original.

Do not assume so. Some symbols are for drawing only; Run simulates devices whose behavior EleRun supports. Placing an unsupported symbol does not automatically create a complete electrical model.

Draw creates and edits the drawing. Run lets you operate buttons or devices and observe circuit states. Check reviews the schematic for issues the current checker recognizes.

Run tests circuit responses to button presses and device-state changes, showing supported lamps, coils, motors, and other elements. It is a quick way to compare the schematic with your intended logic.

No. Check identifies points to review using supported rules. You still need to read the circuit, understand the control purpose, and choose a suitable correction.

Current execution focuses on the open page. Put closely related logic being tested on the same page so results are easier to follow.

No. Simulation and Check review logic within the software’s capabilities. They do not replace short-circuit calculations, protection selection, device catalogues, applicable standards, wiring inspection, or testing before operation.

In the page Devices panel, choose Status for device states, Signals for branches after Run, or BOQ for device quantities. Access to Signals and BOQ depends on your plan.

Start Run, open Signals and select a branch. Inspect the supply, load, return path (or three phase legs for a three-phase load), devices and open contacts. Selecting it highlights the path on the canvas and reveals terminals and control links. Signals reads the current page simulation result; it does not control Run.

Open filters branches with open contacts; Closed shows energized branches without an open contact. Trip shows branches open at a Trip-linked contact. Check device states and wiring on the diagram before drawing an electrical-safety conclusion.

Not yet. BOQ is a preliminary count from symbols on the open page, showing names, tags and quantities. Before quoting or ordering, verify the circuit, reconcile symbols belonging to one physical device, and confirm part numbers, configuration, accessories and ratings against catalogues.

Yes. Project content is automatically saved to your account. Before closing a tab, changing devices, or sending a link, check the save status and wait for synchronization.

Keep the working tab open, reconnect, and wait for synchronization. Changes not sent to the system may exist only in that tab’s memory, so avoid reloading while the status says unsynchronized.

Yes. Sign in to the same account to reopen it on another device. Editing-session controls help prevent uncontrolled overwriting from two devices.

If enabled for your plan, History saves page checkpoints so you can return to earlier states. The system can create checkpoints when a page changes, and you can also create them manually.

If your plan includes Trash, deleted projects or data are retained there for the applicable recovery period. Capacity and retention depend on your current plan.

EleRun supports PDF and DXF exports within your plan’s features and limits.

Use PDF for viewing, sharing, archiving, or printing. It is usually the simplest option when the recipient does not need to edit geometry in CAD.

Use DXF to transfer drawing geometry to software supporting that format. Exporting DXF does not turn an EleRun project into a complete AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN project with those applications’ specialized data.

Export can work with the current page or selected pages. Page counts and export usage may be limited by your plan.

Open the right project, wait for saving, select Share, turn on Enable sharing, and copy the viewing link. Anyone with that link can open the publicly shared drawing.

No sign-in is needed to view and simulate a project whose owner has enabled sharing.

No. Sharing links allow viewing and simulation; they do not grant editing access to the original project.

No. The link still points to the shared project. Once changes synchronize, reopening it shows updated data; an already-open tab may need a reload.

Viewers can switch between the shared project’s pages. Before making a link public, inspect other pages too and remove customer details, internal notes, or private information.

Place it directly in a lesson, technical blog, or website. Readers can follow your explanation and test the circuit without leaving the page.

In Share, enable sharing and Allow embedding, then copy the HTML embed code. EleRun generates an iframe for the project.

No. Embedded frames allow viewing and testing without editing the original and retain EleRun branding.

First open the sharing link to confirm access, check Allow embedding is still enabled, and confirm the destination site permits iframes. If raw HTML appears, paste it into an HTML/embed block rather than a plain-text field.

Open Share and turn off Enable sharing. Revocation cannot remove screenshots or copies already saved by others, so avoid publishing sensitive data.

It is a public circuit area for discovery, searching by circuit or author, filtering categories, testing simulations, and learning from one another.

Send a link when giving a circuit to a particular person or group. Community publishing puts it in EleRun’s public discovery area, where it can receive views, likes, and comments.

Visitors can view and test it. Signed-in users can like it, follow the author, comment, and copy it into their account for practice.

Open it in the app, select Share, go to Publish to Community, fill in the required information, and publish. Only the project owner can publish, update, or remove the post.

No. The copy becomes a separate project in the copier’s account. They can edit it without changing the source project.

No. The Community uses the account’s display name, not its sign-in email, as the public author name.

Not necessarily. Removing the post can leave its sharing link active. Disabling sharing or moving the project to Trash makes the Community post no longer public.

EleRun exists to make learning, drawing, testing, and checking electrical circuits more visual, accessible, and fast. Instead of only looking at a static schematic, users can follow Draw – Run – Check directly in the browser: draw the circuit, run it, and review it.

EleRun is not trying to replace every professional electrical design platform. It aims to be a visual environment for turning an idea into a schematic, testing logic, reviewing issues, and sharing results quickly, especially for learners, teachers, technicians, and panel builders.

EleRun prioritizes one connected workflow: fast drawing → simulation → checking → signal and device tracking → BOQ → sharing. The goal is not to pile up disconnected features, but to help users move from an idea to a complete circuit with fewer steps and interruptions.

Yes. EleRun is developed as an evolving product. The symbol library, simulation, Check, interface, and supporting tools will keep improving whenever there is a clearer, faster, or more accurate way to work.

Yes. Friction in everyday use, missing symbols, incorrect simulation cases, and real user needs are important inputs for development. EleRun prioritizes solving practical problems over adding features simply because they sound impressive.

EleRun aims to turn an electrical schematic from a static picture into an interactive lesson. Teachers can create example circuits, share or embed them in lessons, while learners can draw, run, make mistakes, observe device states, and fix their circuits.

Users should focus on circuit logic rather than fighting the software. When a contactor closes, a lamp turns on, a motor runs, a relay operates, or protection trips, that state should be clear on the schematic so learners and technicians can understand the circuit faster.

Yes. EleRun aims to reduce repetitive work such as placing devices, wiring, arranging, naming, and managing information. Familiar circuits should not consume most of their time in mechanical editing; more time should go into logic and engineering decisions.

EleRun aims to build an increasingly broad community circuit library where users can search, view, run, learn from, and copy circuits for further practice. A well-shared circuit can become learning material and a starting point for many people instead of remaining isolated in one account.

Yes. Plans may differ in project limits, Check, exports, History, Trash, and other features. Refer to EleRun’s current pricing table for up-to-date values.

Yes. The mobile interface supports opening projects and actions suited to small screens. A computer provides more comfortable space for large or detailed drawings.

No. EleRun focuses on drawing, testing logic, checking, sharing, and learning. Detailed engineering documents may still require specialized tools, catalogue data, calculations, and separate verification.

Do not publish passwords, credentials, customer information, internal documents, or anything you lack permission to share. Public drawings can be viewed, captured, or copied through enabled features.

See the EleRun Roadmap. It separates available features from plans, including PLC simulation, teamwork, and AI-assisted drawing, analysis, and diagnosis.
