In Version 2. I will present and discuss some solutions. Others you will discover yourself and ask yourself why no one has ever tried it this or that way before.
This book will recommend solution approaches and demonstrate solutions that will help simplify your everyday work. It will help you make necessary decisions. I would also like to sincerely thank my family, especially my wife Susanne. They have always been, and continue to be, very patient with me.
I would also like to thank all of the readers who have made this book a success. All feed- back, whether criticism or praise, has always been a strong motivator for me to revise this book. Furthermore, the book assumes that the user has all of the user rights in EPLAN and is logged in as the local administrator. Some of the settings used in this book, such as those for filters or schemes, differ from the standard EPLAN installation.
All of this additional data is available in the sample data. In addition, some custom, non-standard shortcut keys were also used. The following text boxes are used to visually highlight notes, tips, etc. This box provides additional information and tips. By design, EPLAN does not overwrite user-related master data because the user may have modified the original system master data and saved this under the original name assigned by EPLAN.
During installation, EPLAN does not recognize whether this data has been changed on purpose and would therefore simply replace it. Usually the user does not want this to happen. EPLAN then opens all selected pages. With three pages, the sequence starts at page 1 followed by page 2, page 3, back to page 1, etc.
EPLAN then closes all selected pages. To create a new page that uses the content of an existing page, you need to copy one or more pages. EPLAN then draws a thick gray border around the page to show it is selected.
Copying pages within a project and across projects Fig. EPLAN always suggests the highest free page name available in this structure. Once all entries are correct, you click OK to apply the page. After selecting the desired setting, you exit the dialog by clicking OK.
EPLAN then copies the source page, generates a new target page, and sorts it into the page structure. Again the following applies when copying pages: Without asking for confirmation, EPLAN automatically sorts new identifiers into the existing structure alphabetically or at the end, depending on the setting. They can be resorted later in structure identifier management. You can, of course, copy more than one page. After you make all desired entries and confirm any subsequent dialogs, these pages are inserted into the EPLAN project in the selected structure.
These two commands always relate to the selected pages. All page-related commands, i. Since you can open and edit several projects at once in the EPLAN page navigator, it is very useful to have a function that lets you conveniently copy pages from one project to another.
As already mentioned, a project does not need to be open in the page navigator in order to copy pages from it. The lower area of the Copy pages dialog shows additional information about the selected page. A preview for the selected pages can also be activated.
The right field in the Copy pages dialog is fixed and always indicates the current project. It cannot be changed. You can use the any other project. Initially, only projects currently open in the page navigator are listed. In this dialog, you can select and open one or more projects to be used in the Project selection dialog. First you select the project s , then click Open to add the selected project s to the Project selection dialog.
Note: Only one project at a time can be added to the selection for the Copy pages dialog. However, EPLAN remembers the projects that were added to the Project selection dialog so that later copying can take place without having to re-select a project. When you need to copy many subpages and convert them to main pages, for example. Any follow-up dialogs, such as the Insertion mode dialog, must be confirmed as required.
This completes the copying of pages from external projects. You can now copy pages from other projects. If this is not required, you can exit the Copy pages dialog with the Close button. EPLAN closes the dialog and all temporarily opened projects and returns to graphical editing of the currently opened project.
This page name can include alphanumeric characters. The page name number is renamed using the Rename page menu item. In the page navigator, you can also simply select the page and press the F2 key.
EPLAN then lets you change the page name number without directly opening the page properties of this page. Pressing Enter saves the changed page name number.
Renaming the page name number Fig. Sometimes you need to delete them. You are already familiar with the procedure. The pages to be deleted are selected in the page navigator and then deleted using the Delete function in the page navigator popup menu or by pressing the DEL key. Before the actual deletion, EPLAN displays a Delete pages dialog with a warning message asking if the page s should actually be deleted.
Note: I recommend that you read the messages carefully before blindly clicking Yes or Yes to all. Note: The following is very important and should be noted when deleting pages. It makes a difference how pages are selected in thepage navigator. Only these four pages will be deleted. In Fig. Unintentional deletion of pages is usually noticed immediately, since the page navigator is updated after a deletion and the missing pages, higher-level functions, or locations are or should be immediately obvious.
Note: If the project was closed in the interim, the deleted pages are irretrievably lost! This prevents accidental deletion of entire projects from the page navigator popup menu. It closes open pages. The Close function is accessible in the Page menu and also via the page navigator popup menu. It is possible to select several open pages in the page navigator and close them all at once. The Close function only closes the project page s and not the project, not even if it is selected.
The Full page name can be changed for example, you could change the page number from 2 to 3, which will move the page or modify the Page description. The Properties area displays additional properties, such as page scale Scale or the currently set grid Grid. These properties can all be edited when they are not grayed out.
New properties are added via the button. Here you can select the desired properties multiple selections are possible and apply them in the Page properties display by clicking the OK button. If several pages are selected in the page navigator and the popup menu is then used to call the Properties function, then the properties of all selected pages can be edited in a single step.
Edit the properties of multiple pages Fig. If the page properties are different from each other, then they are displayed visually using the string in the corresponding input fields. Note: Care should be taken when changing fields containing the string because when an entry in a field is changed, all other entries that are not the same on other pages are overwritten with the new changed value.
When all entries are complete, you can exit the Page properties dialog by clicking OK. EPLAN saves all entries and then closes the dialog. Double-clicking an empty area will not open the page properties. To do so, you first create a filter scheme and then activate the quick entry column. You only have to set one, like here in the Page type. You simply activate the required value, here the to-be-filtered page type. Note: The filter function from previous versions prior to the Versions 2.
This can still be used to filter search results or to find and filter specific structure identifiers. The main area is the working area for editing the schematic the graphical editor. A number of dialogs can be associated with the main area. These range from the page navigator to user-defined toolbars. The graphical editor is not restricted to a single representation. The familiar idea of workspaces can be used to rapidly switch the entire EPLAN user interface from one representation to another, including all the associated dialogs, toolbars, etc.
The most important function of the title bar is the display of the currently open project name. This display can be customized by the user. The information logic shows the page type and the scale of this page. The example shows an open logical page at a scale of This does not apply to all functions, but looking at the status bar can be a great help for some EPLAN actions.
The last characters in the status bar have the following meaning: The hash means that the project contains connections that have not been updated. This is easy to remember and the command then only requires a single keystroke. This opens the Synchronize master data dialog. The current system messages can then be read here. When the System messages dialog is closed, the icon disappears until the next system message occurs.
There are different points of view: the graphical system and the logical systems for the areas of electrical engineering, fluid power and process engineering.
This means that when the page scale changes, the page is enlarged upwards and to the right. These positions are always measured from the original element and its origin usually the so-called insertion point in different directions.
The grid is visually displayed with small dots. They can all be assigned to a keyboard shortcut as well. This function enables or disables Snap to grid. When Snap to grid is enabled, elements can only be placed on the activated grid. Intermediate positions or free placement are not possible. When the grid snap is switched off, then all elements can be freely placed this also applies to logic elements such as symbols.
This Snap to grid function allows you to align different elements outside the grid to the currently set grid. The design mode allows you to align graphical elements to specific points, i. If the design mode is enabled, first you select the action, Move for example, and then you select the object and define its starting and end points.
Then use the mouse to pull a window around the misaligned elements. The window can be pulled in any direction. When finished all elements are contained in the window , release the mouse button and EPLAN will align all elements that are inside the window to the grid. It also works the other way around.
First select the object s you want to align and then click the button. EPLAN will then align the selected objects to the set grid. These two features relate to the cursor position. If the Use graphical coordinates option is deactivated, then it is only possible to enter integer values, such as 1, 3 or If the Use graphical coordinates option is activated, then it is also possible to enter real numbers such as 1. Increment input Fig. Coordinate input Fig. The X and Y positions can be directly entered in this dialog.
Note: The mouse should not be used here because it would probably shift the position where you want to jump. During coordinate input, it is also possible to switch between the different coordinate systems graphic, electrical engineering, fluid power and process engineering. The Relative coordinate input function is accessed via the Options menu. This means that you could start drawing a new line and then call the relative coordinate input.
In the simplest case, you could enter the length of the line, and EPLAN would use this length, place the cursor in the position and terminate the drawing of the line. In contrast to the static coordinate input, the input here is always relative to the current cursor position. Note: If a grid is enabled and the jump to the cursor end point is not on the grid, EPLAN will still jump to the next grid point.
You should take this into consideration when drawing. In order to redefine the base point, for example, to calculate the horizontal values from the center of the circle, you place the cursor on the center, press the O key and then press Enter. All positions are immediately calculated using this new base point and displayed in the status bar.
You can reset the base point shift using the O key or you can simply change pages. EPLAN also offers true to scale drawings with many dimensioning possibilities and many additional well-known CAD functions, such as stretching, trimming modifying the length and grouping of elements.
This will not be explained in detail here because the calls and the functions are very simple and easy to understand. Tip: When using the graphical functions, it is a good idea to switch on the Grid or to enable the Snap to grid function.
Now there are three options. In addition to the pure graphical functions, such as drawing a rectangle or circle, EPLAN also lets you edit these graphical objects later. Such editing could include the following: changing the length of graphical elements, cutting out parts of graphical elements, rounding corners and much more. Note: All these examples were carried out with the input box in the Options menu activated. Then, you have to define the center of rotation around which the object is to be rotated.
Now you enter the rotation angle directly in the input box and confirm with Enter. EPLAN has rotated the object. You can also rotate pure symbols components. But you can only use the rotation angles that already exist as a symbol variant. Then you select the object to be mirrored. You can also mirror pure symbols components. But you can only use the mirroring angles that already exist as a symbol variant.
You must enter a decimal point in the scaling factor for it to work. Then, you select the right-hand section of the rectangle in this example with a window. EPLAN places round markers in the corners and waits for you to define the starting point of the stretch. Note: Using cutoff for grouped objects is not quite the same. If you want to cut sections off grouped objects, you have to keep the SHIFT key pressed and then cut the relevant section.
After launching the function, you can click the desired corner and define the fillet radius in the input box. Chamfer does not fillet corners, it gives them a sloping edge. The same chamfer setting can be applied immediately to the next corner. Every element must be manually adjusted to its new size via the Properties dialog, or when multiple elements are selected, the elements that are not to be scaled must be manually deselected.
You use the mouse to select all elements that belong together and then call up the Group command from the menu or alternatively use the G key. You simply select one of the grouped elements EPLAN automatically selects all the elements in the group. EPLAN removes the grouping and all elements are once more individually accessible. Individual elements within a grouping can also be edited independently. The remaining group objects are not affected.
In addition to inserting and drawing new elements, you can also copy and delete elements. In this menu, you can call up the functions Copy, Move, etc.
To use the functions on elements, you have to first select an element left mouse click and then select the function. EPLAN offers accurately scaled dimensioning, depending on the page scale that is set. Dimensioning types include, for example, continued dimension and radius dimension. The procedure for dimensioning elements is just as simple as drawing the elements themselves.
The various dimensioning methods will be illustrated with an example. This allows EPLAN to start precisely at the ends or the midpoints of elements, without you having to tediously try to reach the ends of a line, for example.
This usually cannot be done precisely. In this example, a rectangle will be dimensioned. EPLAN sets this point as the start of the dimensioning. For the dimensioning itself, there are a number of properties that can be called by doubleclicking the dimension itself.
The Format tab is where you define the settings for dimension values, etc. This does not affect the dimension lines. Fuerther information and examples.

Fig All reports are manually placed. Note: The Manual selection option cannot be used with all report types. This is not allowed for technical programming reasons.
Therefore, you should hide the dialog unless you need it. When project editing is almost finished and the project is to be checked for faulty entries, the dialog can be displayed for extra information, since all Errors, Warnings, and Notes generated by the corresponding Check run are listed here. Fig Message management When you start editing a project in EPLAN, various actions, such as inserting entire pages from other projects or inserting existing macros into the project, can result in unwanted data in the various databases.
For example, unwanted device combinations are created or new structure identifiers are added to the project. You cannot really avoid the creation of such data that do not really belong to the project without being constantly interrupted in your actual project editing. To make sure that you do not forget to change this unwanted data, EPLAN provides an online monitoring feature, or you can use manual check runs to check the project using a specified scheme offline and generate messages in the message database The visual appearance of message management The dialog supports the user with the following features: Display of the message type, the message priority, and further information such as a brief message description or the jump point to the faulty position in the project.
Small colored icons make it easy to visually distinguish between the different types of messages. Error Warning Note For example: Duplicate connection point designation For example: Connection point description missing For example: A placement lies outside the range. Layers are an essential element originating from mechanical engineering CAD.
Information of the same type e. For example, the form, color, font size or other formats of this layer can later be changed at a central place easily and without errors. This is a great advantage, because otherwise every property that is not located in a layer must be manually edited.
The layer management makes such editing actions a piece of cake. The Layer management dialog is displayed. The layer management is a project-specific setting, and you can recognize this from the window title bar that displays the currently active project. The layer management has the following structure. The dialog has windows at the left and right sides.
The left window contains a tree with the superior layer designations nodes and any subnodes and then the layer designation EPLANxyz , and the right window contains the associated sub-entries the actual layer information.
For example, these entries can be used for filtering purposes or as a sorting characteristic for the tree configuration. The entries themselves are limited to characters. Fig Attributes tab The Mounting data tab contains all the information that is necessary to use the part, for example, for a mounting panel layout.
A stored image file can also be useful, because this information is evaluated at different locations in EPLAN. Fig Mounting data tab. To do this, you click the [ Then, the Settings: Compression dialog opens.
Fig Settings options for a compression scheme Here you can use the familiar graphical buttons to create a new scheme or copy and change an existing scheme. In the lower Data to be compressed field, EPLAN offers a number of actions that can be performed during the compression. This setting removes all unused forms from the project and the project then contains only forms that are actually used.
Fig Setting to remove unnecessary forms Note: If, for example, forms documentation was created before the compression, all forms including the unused ones remain stored in the project, because they are needed for the forms documentation.
Here, the reports should be removed, especially the forms documentation, prior to the compression. The other, second, method is to use filters for the compression process. As usual, filters can be set and are either created or edited as schemes. But which project that is does not matter in this context. Fig Example representation for master data opened for editing Generally, you always edit system master data. Fig Prompt when stored master data have been modified If modified master data is also to be used in the current project, following the modification of master data the system master data must be synchronized with the project master data, i.
Otherwise, the modifications to the master data will not take effect in the current project, because they will not have been updated yet at that time. The option to create outlines is not discussed further at this point, because this is a subject related to mechanics and of less use to the actual electrical enclosure project planning.
You can now confirm this selection by clicking OK. Fig Preselection left and selection right of the property EPLAN closes the dialog and transfers the selected placeholder text into the dialog of the same name.
Fig Applied placeholder text Now confirm the Placeholder text dialog by clicking OK; the placeholder text now hangs on the cursor and can be placed at any sensible position in the form. Fig Choice of placement As with any other free text, placeholder text can be freely formatted. This allows the form to be appropriately constructed.
It is also possible to subsequently modify placeholder text and select a different one. To do this, select the placeholder text and display its properties by double-clicking or via the popup menu. You then proceed as described above. You use the button to call up the subsequent dialogs and select, apply and place other properties in the usual manner.
Upon completion, the form can be checked. To do this, one or more devices are selected and the Place menu entry in the popup menu is selected. The selected devices are now hanging on the cursor and can be placed in the layout space. Note: The 3D mounting layout navigator only displays those devices that have a part entry. Regardless of whether this part has additional technical data, such as width, height, macro data, or the like! Fig Project-specific setting 1. A book that describes all the functions would have thousands of pages and be impractical for the reader.
In Version 2. I will present and discuss some solutions. Others you will discover yourself and ask yourself why no one has ever tried it this or that way before. This book will recommend solution approaches and demonstrate solutions that will help simplify your everyday work.
It will help you make necessary decisions. I would also like to sincerely thank my family, especially my wife Susanne. They have always been, and continue to be, very patient with me.

You delete entries by selecting them and then clicking the delete button. If this is not possible, then you can also delete the entries in the fields device source, device target, and cable DT.
To do this, you click the field, select the desired entry, and then press the Del key. All entries are deleted after this, and new devices can be selected and interconnected. New devices are selected in the device source and device target fields using the button. In this dialog, the desired devices for the source and target one of each are selected, and the selection is applied by clicking the OK button. Fig Interconnect devices dialog.
EPLAN finishes the numbering process by writing back the new cable device tags. Fig Changed cable device tags The default settings for the schemes for the different cable editing functions, such as e. Fig Default settings for cable editing functions. All connection point designations are correctly transferred to the PLC terminals. But this only works if the addresses have been entered correctly. EPLAN derives the data types from the functions.

This is a special form that can be used to e. Everything is displayed together on a single report page. You can also use the familiar filter and sorting options to e. You use the structure identifier overview to obtain an overview of all the structure identifiers assigned or also unused in the project.
Filters and sorting cannot be selected for devices because these are already manually selected. Filters and sorting can be used for the functions themselves, though data such as plug pin or terminal.
