realAscot/kicad-symlib: Adam Skotarczak's cabinet-building symbols

All symbols and drawing sheets in this package are by Adam Skotarczak (ionivation.com), from github.com/realAscot/kicad-symlib. The package is built from the demo fork johnAdom/kicad-symlib (made to show the workflow; Wolfgang can use his own fork the same way), packaged here as Wolfgang's cabinet symbols (fork of realAscot/kicad-symlib). Back to Wolfgang's KiCad library.

Credit and licence

(c) 2025 Adam Skotarczak, ionivation.com. Adam's licence, as published in the repository's LICENCE (English part):

License: Free to use, modify and redistribute (including commercial use).

Requirement: Please give credit to the original author when using or redistributing.

So: free to use, change and share, including in commercial work, as long as you credit Adam. The full text ships in the package as resources/LICENCE.md. KiCad's PCM schema only accepts a fixed list of licence names and Adam's is not on it, so the package's licence field says unrestricted; the credit requirement is in its description.

What the fork changed

Symbols are Adam's, unchanged, except:

• Footprint fields on PILZ_PNOZ_mi1p, PILZ_PNOZ_mo3p and MCR-SLP-1-5-UI-0_(U), pointing at the PCM_realAscot_DIN footprints.
• Pin numbers of the two Pilz modules, renumbered by terminal (X1.1 to X2.5) so each pin maps to one pad: upstream, four mi1p pins were all E1 and the mo3p repeated 24V and 0V or left numbers empty. The mo3p output names were also corrected from A0/A1 to Pilz's O0/O1.
• Added footprints/realAscot_DIN.pretty and 3dmodels/realAscot_DIN.3dshapes for those three modules, built from the manufacturer datasheets.

Upstream also notes: its README recommends adding the library by raw GitHub URL, which KiCad cannot load (that is why this package exists), and its VERSION file holds an unresolved merge conflict (0.7.1 vs 0.7.0).

Drawing sheets

PCM has no drawing-sheet folder, so Adam's three sheets ship as project templates: realascot-de-a4 (A4_DE_landscape), realascot-de-a3 (A3_DE_landscape) and realascot-leer (blank). After install they are in ${KICAD10_3RD_PARTY}/templates/inc_adom_john_realascot-kicad-symlib/ (KiCad 9: ${KICAD9_3RD_PARTY}). Start a project from one with File > New Project > New Project from Template and browse to that folder, or pick a .kicad_wks there in File > Page Settings > Drawing sheet.

All 95 symbols, with English names

English names are translations of Adam's German symbol names by the packager. The three linked parts have their own component pages with a DIN-rail footprint and a part-number-etched 3D model, and their symbols' Footprint fields point at them.
