EPLAN launch PLC & Bus Extension module
05 March 2010
The PLC & Bus Extension module, an add-on from electrical design software developer EPLAN, ensures consistent data in hardware and software planning.
With its bidirectional data exchange, up to the level of complete system configuration, the data from product configurators from various PLC manufacturers can be easily and conveniently imported - this speeds up project planning, administration, and evaluation of PLC and bus components. The result: shorter processing times.In EPLAN the schematic generation on the basis of PLC data or the synchronization of project data is fully automatic. The EPLAN Platform, with integrated solutions for electrical, fluid and process engineering, is perfectly set up to take continual advantage of the potential for higher automation.
Currently, detailed PLC project planning application examples are being developed which depict the optimal workflow between EPLAN and manufacturer-specific PLC configuration systems.
With SIMATIC Step 7 or Unity Pro from Schneider Electric, users are led through the entire project planning process, step by step - with examples, sample projects and video sequences. Users can integrate their EPLAN systems into their own engineering process in an efficient and cross-disciplinary manner - without a long learning curve or unnecessary failed attempts due to a lack of information. Plans for applications for other PLC manufacturers such as Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff and Rockwell Automation are already in place.
