Eplan PLC & Bus Extension module speeds project planning
05 March 2010
Eplan has introduced the PLC & Bus Extension module add-on that enables product configurator data from various PLC manufacturers to be easily and conveniently imported - speeding project planning, administration, and evaluation of PLC and bus components. Schematic generation on the basis of PLC data or the synchronisation of project data is fully automatic.
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.
