Working efficiently in EPLAN

Working efficiently in EPLAN

Bonus lectures - fancy EPLAN thingies

How to tag cables - special case (requirement from some customers)
A pump (electric motor) needs a possible phase switch - how to represent that? p4
Cable core spares - what to do with them in a circuit diagram - two options

What you'll learn

  •  To work with Layer Management in EPLAN (to see what layers in EPLAN can do for us)
  • To manage symbols and symbol libraries in EPLAN (create, adjust, new variant, import/export, delete etc.)
  • To work with the data within EPLAN project more effectively (Navigators, Edit in Table, Edit Properties Externally)
  • To tag a cable according to special requiremet from some customers (special case)
  • To graphically represent a phase reversal in the circuit diagram (required for some actuators like pumps)
  • To graphically represent spare cable cores (2 most common ways in the practice)

What students say

"Very informative"

Dear Student,

I welcome you to, according to my opinion, the intermediate course on EPLAN Electric P8.

In this short but intense course we are going to cover the following sections / function in EPLAN:
  •  Symbols and symbol libraries - masterclass - everything you need to know about custom symbols in EPLAN
  • Layer management in EPLAN - what layers in EPLAN can do for us in the real-world
  • How to be more effective when working in EPLAN
  • Bonus lecture - very interesting way to tag cables (a requirement from some customers in the real-world)
This is going to be one of my last courses on EPLAN Electric P8. I might do another one and for that one I will ask for a feedback from you, my students, to tell me which are the things you would like me to cover in the last one.

After EPLAN courses I will concentrate more on electrical design, with examples of projects I have worked on so far.

To help you master electrical design on a professional level so that you can consider a career in this field of electrical engineering.

I hope you will find my course valuable and fun and I wish you a great success in mastering EPLAN and electrical design!

Also please don't forget to rate my course and leave a short review. I thank you for that in advance.

Your Instructor for Electrical Design,
