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.

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!
