Electronic – Automation schematic software for linux

automationindustrialschematicssoftware

Is anyone aware of a good linux program for drawing automation schematics?
Not PCB design, circuit simulation and fine electronics. Industrial automation.

Example:
Example schematic

I looked at a couple of different EDA applications, but did not find any functionality for multiple sheets in a single schematic. I will also need cross-reference symbols to handle nets/symbols that go across multiple sheets.

Perhaps someone knows about an EDA application with multiple sheets and good scripting capabilities to create the cross-reference system?

Solution:
I ended up using gschem with some custom scripts for cross-references and titleblock stuff. They can be found here.

I haven't done this is a very long time (more than 10 years now) but what I used to do to draw cabinet wiring schematics is to use a PCB design tool and build my own custom component library.
