What program can you suggest for industrial (PLC) diagrams

[edugimeno]

What program would you suggest (preferably free) to easily draw an schematic for an industrial cabinet containing some Omron PLC's and remote controllers, network wires, relays, and harting sockets?

I have been trying Q-electrotech, seems about right but it doesn't have any of my Omron remote devices, so Im having to download the DXF cad design from their website, export it to ELMT, remove unneeded views (side, top, etc), add terminals and labels, etc, for each missing component.

What else can you suggest?

Thank you!

you could use eaglecad7,
the pcb output is limited in the free version but schematics are unlimited.

or KiCad,
or Fritzing,
or loads of others built into most linux distributions.

It's not a PCB schematic, this is an industrial project.
I use Kicad regularly for electronics projects, but this is a "DIN RAIL" schematic

a schematic is a schematic,
as long as you have the parts in the library then i see no difference.

I know, but there are tools more aimed at the industrial diagrams rather than pure electronics schematics. Also what you say about parts is key too. I started with Qelectrotech and despite being an industrial schematic tool, it was missing all my Omron PLC's and modules. I seriously doubt that Kicad has all these devices either
