In modern electrical engineering, deadlines are getting shorter, precision is essential, and digitalization is no longer optional — it’s a necessity.
That’s why the launch of Schneider Electric’s new digital tool, EcoSet Config, represents a paradigm shift in the design and quotation of custom electrical panels.
This article explains what EcoSet Config is, why it’s the natural evolution of Rapsody, what advantages it brings, and how to make the transition to this new platform.
🔗 If you’re not familiar with Rapsody…
Before talking about evolution, it’s worth remembering where we come from.
For more than a decade, Rapsody by Schneider Electric was the reference software for low-voltage panel design.
Its configuration environment, compatibility with Prisma products, and automatic technical documentation set a benchmark for engineers and manufacturers.
However, Schneider Electric has now officially confirmed the end of support and updates for Rapsody, ushering in a new era with EcoSet Config as its successor.

Rapsody Schneider Electric: Custom Electrical Panel Design
1. What is EcoSet Config?
EcoSet Config is an all-in-one solution from Schneider Electric for the design, configuration, validation, and quotation of low-voltage electrical panels (up to 3,200 A), fully online.
Its main features include:
Interactive 3D environment to visualize the actual panel in real time.
Up-to-date catalogs with the latest Schneider Electric components.
Automatic generation of technical documentation and quotations.
Electrical and mechanical validation according to IEC standards.
Integration of the entire project flow, from product selection to final delivery.
2. Why is it the successor to Rapsody?
As explained in our previous article on Rapsody, that tool was for years essential for modular panel design using Schneider components.
However, it began showing limitations compared to today’s digital expectations.
EcoSet Config marks the transition because it brings clear improvements:
While Rapsody focused on modular configuration and documentation, EcoSet Config covers the entire electrical project cycle (design, validation, quotation).
EcoSet Config includes interactive 3D technology, dynamic catalogs, and a fully online environment — something Rapsody never offered.
With EcoSet Config, Schneider Electric envisions a connected, digital future, including online support, training, and order management within one ecosystem (e.g., via mySchneider).
For all these reasons, EcoSet Config is the logical successor for users who previously relied on Rapsody and now wish to modernize.
3. Use cases and who should adopt it
EcoSet Config is designed for:
Panel builders who need to offer complete, flexible, customer-oriented solutions.
Integrators and installers working with low-voltage panels who want to reduce engineering time, avoid errors, and generate professional quotations.
Engineering offices requiring accurate documentation, digital tracking, and automated design validation.
Industry sources indicate that EcoSet Config is primarily intended for low-voltage panels up to 3,200 A.
If you’re a former Rapsody user or currently designing low-voltage panels, EcoSet Config might be the digital leap you’ve been waiting for.
4. Key benefits of EcoSet Config
By adopting EcoSet Config, you gain tangible advantages such as:
Faster design and quotation: 3D modeling, automatic validations, and updated catalogs save valuable time.
Fewer errors and rework: Using verified digital components avoids incompatibilities and design mistakes.
More professional proposals: detailed quotations, customer reports, and high-quality presentations.
Full digitalization and sustainability: designed for Industry 4.0, energy efficiency, and digital project continuity.
Complete project traceability: from design and validation to manufacturing and delivery — all within one consistent digital environment.
5. How to get started with EcoSet Config
Although EcoSet Config is a relatively new tool, it’s already available on Schneider Electric’s official website. Below you’ll find the link to access it directly.
Keep in mind that since it’s still being improved, you might encounter minor bugs or missing features in some sections. However, at Automatismos Mundo, we’ll continue monitoring all updates and improvements released for EcoSet Config.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can projects be migrated from Rapsody to EcoSet Config?
No — unfortunately, project files from Rapsody cannot be imported into EcoSet Config, as they use different and incompatible formats.
What is the learning curve like?
Although it includes new features (3D, dynamic catalogs), Schneider designed EcoSet Config to be intuitive and fully online. The learning curve is minimal thanks to many automated tasks.
What panel capacity does it support?
EcoSet Config is designed for low-voltage electrical panels up to 3,200 A.
Does it require local installation or is it cloud-based?
It’s a 100% online tool, operating in a digital environment with real-time catalogs and cloud-based access.
What are the advantages over continuing with Rapsody?
More advanced design (3D, automation)
Reduced risk of using outdated software
Better digital support and long-term compatibility
More complete project traceability
Conclusion
EcoSet Config represents a major step forward in the evolution of electrical panel design — faster, more digital, and more professional.
If you’ve been using Rapsody or you’re simply looking for the best tool to design custom electrical panels, now is the perfect time to make the switch.
Keep in mind that Rapsody will no longer receive updates or support, which may eventually cause problems if you continue to use it.
