What you'll learn

Build, prepare and optimize your circuit diagram for the 3D routing functionality
Build a 3D panel layout from zero as a precondition to route the wiring inside 3D and to get the wire lengths
Route wiring / conductors inside wire ducts on the back plate
Route wiring / conductors between the back plate and the door - the wiring bridge
Route wiring / conductors on the door for different pilot devices
Generate an automatic routing path network
Define a custom routing path, both line and curve
Route wires under 90°angle but also free routing
Relocate the wiring between wire ducts / routing paths, all or only some of them
Difference with example of an automatic and local connection point patterns
How to resolve a small issue with connection point patterns (avoid banging your head against the wall to find a solution)
Functions related to fill capacity and how to even see the fill capacity - IMPORTANT PRECONDITION
Optimize wire lengths to stay on the safe side in case of e.g. changes during assembly / production

Course description

Hi,

welcome to my 2nd in the series Eplan Pro Panel course. This is one of the most interesting courses I have filmed so far and I've had a lot of fun filming this course.

It's an interesting topic and also a very perspective one, I would say that this is the future of engineering - simulation in 3D to an unbelievable detail.

As people of electricity, our job mainly evolves around devices and wiring and now we also got the chance to enter the world of 3D and not by only placing the devices in the 3D layout space but now also to wire them.

Join me in this course and learn how to wire devices in a 3D layout space and how to route the connections across the back plate, across the door and in between.

Check out the intro video, also the free preview videos and if you like what you see, enroll in this very interesting course.

See you in the lectures!

Stay safe and well.

Best,
Ivan
