EPLAN News 2.8

Preface

Dear EPLAN users,

Digitalization in engineering is consistently progressing. Only if all the project data are acquired at an early stage and continuously extended and managed throughout the project course, can project planning be carried out and high-quality automation documentation be created.

The new EPLAN version places its focus exactly on this aspect in order to optimally support you as a user in exactly this task. EPLAN platform Version 2.8 provides decisive innovations in ergonomics which not only accelerate the engineering process further, but also advance automization and standardization through extensions in the macro technology.

The greatest point is the new graphical user interface that impresses with flyouts. This means that a lot of space is available for editors, allowing work in the project to be structured much more clearly. Additional navigators, for example a second page navigator, can be displayed - so that users can view different project sections in parallel.

In the field of macros several highly effective extensions have been added. The integration of placeholder objects in the macro navigator which is now possible allows short-term modifications, such as a modified motor output, to be implemented rapidly and consistently in the project with a single click.

The speed of modification is one aspect, the other an informative interdisciplinary documentation. In EPLAN Fluid control system-relevant items can now be identified more easily through special overview pages.

In the topic of enclosure design the replacement of an enclosure, for example due to increased space requirement, can now be realized very rapidly. Simply replace parts and continue with the design of the enclosure.

The News document provides these and further details on the new features and highlights of the version.

Let yourself be inspired, and also utilize our online channels such as the EPLAN homepage or the EPLAN YouTube channel to familiarize yourself rapidly and easily with the innovations in Version 2.8.
