Devices

Often, you have particular specifications from which it can be deduced as to which devices are used in a project and how often they are used. If you work with predefined devices, you can select such a device and place it.

Two methods of working are possible with EPLAN:

In the logic-oriented approach, you first define certain devices. Subsequently you select such a device – using the device selection – and place the corresponding symbol or macro in the project. The existing functions of a particular device are integrated into the project from the very beginning. You can insert the entire logic from the parts data into the project in a single step. We call this manner of working the (logic oriented) engineering approach.

In the graphics-oriented approach, first the functions in the project are placed and the finally the device selection is performed.

Both methods can also be combined.

Working in this engineering approach involves the following steps:

Devices allow the following working steps:
