Mounting plate configuration is specified via variables or values. For instance, the 3D macros required, as well as the preassembled standard layouts for mounting plates, will from version 2.4 also be utilised in EEC One. In the shared component database, data is available for Eplan Pro Panel and is thus also accessible in EEC One. Eplan Pro Panel, the 3D solution for virtual control cabinet and switchgear construction, is an elementary component of the Eplan Platform. At the Hannover Messe, users are getting a first glimpse of the software, which will be available beginning in autumn 2014 with the new Eplan Platform 2.4.
At the same time, the degree of re-utilisation increases substantially. Standardisation and automation produce significant gains in efficiency. Eplan is now expanding this technology to also include control cabinet engineering: mounting panel layouts will soon also be automatically generated. Starting with Version 2.4, EEC One automatically generates mounting panel layouts.ĮEC One enables the automatic generation of electrical or fluid power schematics based on standardized macros and components. The coupling of EPLAN's EEC One and Eplan Pro Panel shortens development times and leaves room for innovation. Standardisation, re-utilisation and automation are gaining importance in control cabinet build.
