Interdisciplinary cooperation best in class

Machine and plant engineers have long recognised that all cogs need to fit

perfectly together for everything to run smoothly. This is why the EPLAN Platform

incorporates all the relevant departments into the development and design process.

This means you can benefit from faster processes, optimised product quality,

consistent documentation and reduced costs.

Depth of integration leaves nothing to be desired

The EPLAN Platform sets the standard for engineering integration: it feeds all the

systems from a consistent database. This makes redundancy a thing of the past.

The platform also provides the basic functions that are required in electronic CAE,fluid engineering, control engineering and in control cabinet and switchgear

construction such as a graphical editor, a shared permissions administration

system, a viewer, translation functions and revision control.*

Used virtually everywhere

This openness and the continuity of the EPLAN solutions provide tangible benefits

in the everyday engineering process. Example: the devices and operating materials

that are implemented in electrical and fluid planning can be directly used for 3D

mounting layouts. The data synchronisation that is otherwise needed between

programs and the manual return of part list information is unnecessary. Tools from

third party providers can be incorporated in the EPLAN Platform.

Minimise coordination time and increase your

engineering quality. Put your trust in the innovative,

practical workflow optimisation solutions from EPLAN

Software & Service.

*The functions and options shown in this brochure always relate to the maximum configuration of the product.

Planning and assembly

of control cabinetsEPLAN Pro Panel for entry-level and advanced use

EPLAN Pro Panel allows in-depth integration of the EPLAN Platform and

consistently uses its basic technologies, including the EPLAN device concept,

macro and option technology, access to the EPLAN Data Portal and much more.

The configuration approach adopted by EPLAN Pro Panel Professional considers

the individual requirements of the user, the project and the different planning

approaches for individual configuration: You can either configure based on a

circuit diagram or directly within the control cabinet structure in 3D.

Safe planning

Whether it is dynamic collision detection or automatic checking of installation

rules: EPLAN Pro Panel paves the way for professional 3D layout planning. First,

the system shows the devices intended for the assembly construction in navigators

or assembly construction list. The EPLAN eTouch technology allows you to align

components and position them exactly. Fitting regulations and minimum distances

based on manufacturer requirements are taken into consideration, as are the

correct positioning of equipment, wiring ducts and support rails. An overview of

all devices and components installed makes checking components based on itemdata easier.

Flexible lay out

Based on the 3D assembly construction, the network definition and the connection

information from the electro-technical circuit diagram, EPLAN Pro Panel calculates

the optimum wiring routes for wires and cables, including checking how full the wire

ducts are. Automatic length calculation, increase your productivity. There is no need

for manual calculations and pre-assembly of wires, which increases efficiency in

production and assembly. Optimised-length wiring and cabling in turn helps

optimise the circuit diagram. The key lies in network-based wiring. Complete wiringlists with length information, wire end treatment, labelling and laying routes for wires

and cables enable perfect fitting components which are ready to plug in.

Quick start

Engineering without device data? Inconceivable! EPLAN Pro Panel Professional gives you all sorts of options for

accessing device data including 3D geometry, whether it is taken ready to use from the EPLAN Data Portal or

via the built-in STEP interface, directly from the component manufacturer, from data portals or data CDs from any

3D CAD program. The 3D geometry is loaded into EPLAN Pro Panel and transferred into EPLAN macros for 3D assem-

bly construction on a semi-automated basis. The selection of EPLAN accessories is perfectly tailored to the users'

requirements. It can be used, for example, to save system and accessory components including component know-

how and combinations allowed. It is all about configuring instead of constructing.

Consistency for lively exchange

The EPLAN Platform connects electrical engineering and 3D mounting layout directly with one another. The devices and

equipment planned within the electrical engineering can be utilised in the 3D mounting layout. No more time lost

thanks to redundant data, manual data transfer,

synchronisation, consistency checks and main-

taining parts list information.

The EPLAN Platform provides various interfaces for

the integration with the IT infrastructure within your

company and enables data transfer using, XML,

PDF, DXF/DWG with layers, PXF or STEP. The

integrative interface to PDM and ERP systems can

be automated by means of scripting processes or

EPLAN's own API. This not only produces perfect

results for the project engineers, the consistent IT

and system environment are also beneficial to

commercial departments and production.

Control cabinet construction is not a standalone

discipline. A consistent product development process

makes your work easier: redundant data storage,

multiple data entry and time-consuming reverse

engineering all become things of the past.

Directly into (NC) production

EPLAN Pro Panel provides information on the mechanical processing of mounting

plates, doors or entire cabinet casings. At the touch of a button, you can produce

production-related information on drill holes, threads or openings and make this

available directly to your NC processing machine. The NC add-on modules for

EPLAN Pro Panel support conventional machine tools by providing standard DXF

data or integration with Steinhauer and Kiesling machining centres into your product

development process by means of direct interfaces. For manual processing ofmounting plates and cabinet components, you can produce 1:1 scale drilling

templates simply print out, position and that's it!

Wiring made easy

Planning with EPLAN Pro Panel Professional makes wiring simple. Whether assembly

is manual or automated, all the information required for cable assembly is provided.

Data is output in neutral or machine-specific format, so you can connect standard

cable assembly machines and provide information for specialist suppliers. This

ensures optimised workloads for your machinery and allows 'just-in-time' availability

of precisely produced components. From virtual prototypes to the real wired control

cabinet in no time at all.

Integration across the line for fast, accurate production and installation!
