– Single line, multi-line display and mounting layout – Interruption points, contacts, symbols and components, PLC’s Automatic creation of cross references between.Automatic and individual DT allocation and connection numbering.The combination of standard functions and optional extensions in EPLAN Electric P8 allows you to optimise your entire planning process and increase the quality of your automation documentation in the long term. Thanks to continuous Unicode capability, EPLAN Electric P8 provides schematics in any language on the basis of your individual translation databases – from Chinese circuit diagrams to Russian part lists, everything is translated online or as soon as the plant is complete. The optional standard conversion ensures that you remain competitive as globalisation increases. Internationally standardised and continuously localisedĮPLAN Electric P8 supports global standards such as IEC, NFPA, the Russian GOST standard and the Chinese GB standard with appropriate master data and sample projects.EPLAN Electric P8 consistently goes a step further: partial circuits (macros) can contain graphical variants, different types of display and predefined value tables. Schematic macros for easy production of standardised partial circuits speed up your engineering process. Recycling and standardisation are the keywords for saving time over the long term.
In this way, the downstream stages of the process are provided with all of the required information from the engineering itself – continuous product creation through to manufacturing, installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance. With comprehensive and individually configurable check runs, you determine how strictly EPLAN monitors the quality level of your documentation. Project documentation – quantity and quality.You decide which method of operation is the most efficient for you, and EPLAN provides continuous consistency in the project data, regardless of your method of operation. The ideal situation is for an engineering system to support these different planning approaches with equal priority. Engineering data from other project areas can be exchanged via interfaces with the CAE software, thus guaranteeing consistency and integration throughout the entire product development process.Įach planning procedure has its advantages in certain project phases – be it generating initial graphical machinery/plant overviews, creating schematics or recording project information in the database independently of the graphics. The automatic production of detailed reports based on wiring diagrams is an integral part of a comprehensive documentation system and provides subsequent phases of the project, such as production, assembly, commissioning and service with the data required. Interdisciplinary working becomes reality thanks to the many different functions and the direct connection to fluid power, electrical instrumentation, control engineering and control cabinet engineering.ĮPLAN Electric P8 offers unlimited possibilities for project planning, documentation, and management of automation projects. The EPLAN platform integrates all relevant disciplines in the development and design process. Engineering data from other project areas can be exchanged via interfaces and therefore guarantees continuity and integration over the entire product creation process. Automatically generated, detailed reports based on the circuit diagrams are an integral component in completing the comprehensive documentation and supplying the data required for downstream product phases such as production, assembly, commissioning and service. The EPLAN ‘platform’ supports interdisciplinary engineering work, from fluid and process engineering to harness and enclosure design.ĮPLAN Electric P8 enhances efficiency in the design, documentation and management of automation projects for machinery and plant. EPLAN Electric P8 – electrical engineering design softwareĮPLAN is an electrical engineering design program, offering innovative options for the planning, documentation and management of electrical design projects.
