Electrical
Ladder Diagram, Schematic and PLC Training / Simulation Software
for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7
The Constructor
program makes the creation, testing, trouble-shooting, teaching and
printing of electrical ladder diagrams, schematics and one line diagrams
fast and easy.
Software will be Downloadable. A
short time after Purchase, an Email will be sent with Download Link and
License Key
The Constructor
Software is unique in it's ability to test an electrical circuit.
Now the
complete circuit can be tested from the three phase power components to
the control circuit. See and Hear the circuit running. The
built-in symbol libraries of over 720 symbols makes the creation of your
diagrams fast and easy.
We also have
optional libraries containing
over 1800 Allen Bradley, Automation Direct, Cutler Hammer, GE
Fanuc, Idec, Mitsubishi, Modicon, Omron, Siemens, Telemecanique
and Toshiba PLC I/O diagrams. -

Create, Test and
Print Ladder Diagrams
The Constructor program makes the
creation, testing, trouble-shooting, teaching and printing of electrical
ladder diagrams, diagram schematics and one line diagrams fast and easy.
The circuit will perform the same as a hard wired electrical circuit.
The design can be edited and re-tested saving valuable time when it
comes to hard wired circuits and trouble-shooting scenarios. This
program is unique in its ability to test an electrical circuit. You can
see the power flow in the
diagram and hear the sound effects
when a motor or siren is energized. Once designed, any circuit can then
be virtually energized and
operated on your computer monitor.
The circuit simulator is a great teaching
tool. Our customers tell us the Constructor is the quickest and easiest
electrical cad software they've ever used.
Symbol Libraries
and Symbol Editor
The built-in symbol libraries of over 800
symbols makes the creation of your diagrams fast and easy. The built-in
symbol editor allows you to create your own custom electrical symbols
for that special project. Optional
PLC I/O libraries are
available for most PLCs (Over 1800 I/O modules) An optional additional
sound library allows you to add 126 more sound effects to your circuit
diagrams.
Easy to Learn and
Use
Our new Active help system, help
files, and a pdf manual makes learning to use this powerful software
much faster and easier. Your complete
circuit can be tested, from the three phase power
components to the control circuit.
Many of our customers have used
electrical cad software before and comment about how easy our software
is to use compared with other electrical cad software.
All the Features
You Need
Powerful zooming features for
faster editing and easier viewing of your electrical diagrams. Over 50
color schemes allow you to set your personal color preference. Automatic
legends and borders allow you to make
professional looking electrical diagrams quickly. You
can print your ladder diagrams out on your choice of any printer or
plotter that Windows supports.
The diagram may be saved to your
hard drive, flashdrive or a floppy disk for easy reference or
modification. You can also save images from within The Constructor
program as bitmap files.
The bitmap files can then be used
for printing or imported into other programs.
Portability
If you need to send a diagram to an
associate now you can export your diagram as a PDF
file. Exporting your diagram as a
DXF, DWG, JPG, GIF, TIF or PNG file
is also an option. Print wire labels using
pre-designed wire label templates for Brady and other label
manufacturers. Our auto wire feature allows you to quickly add wire
numbers to your diagrams with a host of options available.
Optional Additions Available

Regardless of the flashing method, you will need to gather the following:
Symptoms on cloned interfaces after updating to VCDS 21.x:
Before you start, you must confirm your cable uses the ATmega162 chip. Many newer "HEX-V2" clones use ARM-based STM32 chips, which require entirely different tools. The Physical Check
If the chip is corrupted, it might show generic naming. Right-click the device, select , and load your VCDS specific *.ept file. vcds atmega162 reflash 2021
Before starting, you must identify your cable's hardware. The methods and tools below will only work for interfaces based on the ATmega162 chip. If your cable has an NEC, ARM, or STM32 microcontroller, these methods are not supported. Physically inspecting the printed circuit board (PCB) inside your cable is the definitive way to confirm it has the ATmega162 chip.
For automotive DIYers and mechanics, VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) remains the gold standard for diagnosing and tuning Volkswagen Group vehicles (VAG: VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda). However, older VCDS interfaces using the ATmega162 microcontroller may hit compatibility roadblocks when connecting to newer ECU protocols in modern cars. With software updates and firmware evolutions through 2021, reflashing an ATmega162 chip can breathe life into legacy hardware, enabling support for newer diagnostics.
Use VAGCOM_EEWrite.exe or MProg to write the new configuration. Regardless of the flashing method, you will need
This flowchart illustrates the typical decision path for a bootloader-enabled cable, showing how to check the bootloader status and flash the EEPROM.
The ATMEGA162 is critical because it contains and a bootloader . Ross-Tech protects this firmware against readout by setting the Lock Bits and Security Fuses on the chip. Once locked, standard programmers (e.g., USBasp, AVRISP) cannot read the flash memory.

Reflashing a VCDS interface with an chip is a common repair for "bricked" clone cables (often caused by the software revoking the license or a failed firmware update). In 2021, the process centered on using specific hardware programmers and loader tools to bypass official Ross-Tech checks. The 2021 Reflash Method
Configure the Fuse Bits exactly as specified by your 2021 firmware documentation. Standard configurations for these interfaces typically look like this: 0xCD
