General requirements
Microsoft .NET framework
Further information and the current version of this Microsoft component are available for download from the Microsoft website.
The following Microsoft .NET framework is required to operate the Eplan platform:
| Eplan Electric P81, Eplan Fluid1, Eplan Pro Panel, Eplan Harness proD, Eplan Cable proD | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Version | Up to 2.8 | 2.9 up to 2023 | As of 2024 | |
|
.NET Framework |
4.8.1 | X | ||
| 4.7.2 | X | |||
| 4.5.2 | X | |||
1 As of Version 2026 Eplan Fluid is part of Eplan Electric P8.
Note
When switching to .NET Framework 4.8.1 as of Eplan Platform Version 2024 and Eplan Harness proD Version 2024
- Existing offline API programs can no longer be run directly with Eplan Platform 2024. They have be recompiled once with the .NET Framework 4.8.1.
- API add-ins should not be compiled - this means that they remain executable in the Eplan Platform version in which they were created and in all newer versions of the Eplan Platform.
An API program adapted in this way can be run with Eplan Platform 2024 and with the older Eplan Platform versions 2.9, 2023 and 2022.
API add-ins compiled with the .NET Framework 4.8.1 are only executable in the Eplan Platform Version 2024 and higher.
Workstation
The computer platform is a PC with an Intel Core i5, i7, i9 or compatible processor.
| Recommended workstation configuration | |
|---|---|
| CPU | Multicore processor based on x64 architecture like Intel i5, i7, i9 or compatible with the instruction set AVX2 |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| Harddrive | 500 GB |
| GPU | AMD or NVIDIA with the latest Direct3D driver (comparable graphics performance as a RTX 3050 board with at least 4GB VRAM) |
| Monitor / graphics solution |
2-screen solution with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080, recommended 2560 x 1440 |
Note
Please do not use Microsoft OneDrive (or similar systems) as storage systems for multi-user work with Eplan products. This can damage your Eplan projects.
The usage of a CPU with the instruction set AVX2 is required to run the Eplan Platform 2024 and higher.
- Hardware components such as the processor used are also checked for compatibility when Eplan starts. An error message could indicate hardware at this point in which processors with instruction sets unsuitable for Eplan are still installed. These are usually processors that are older than approx. 10 years.
- If Eplan is also to be executable on virtual computers, the two processor options "CompatibilityForOlderOperatingSystemsEnabled" and "CompatibilityForMigrationEnabled" have to be deactivated when Hyper-V is used.
WebView2 Runtime
WebView2 Runtime from Microsoft is required to run the Eplan Platform 2024 and higher.
- A check is carried out when Eplan is started. An error message could indicate the missing installation of WebView2 Runtime at this point.
As a rule WebView2 Runtime is already installed as part of the operating system.
