Data portal boosts project speed
Engineers need suitable component data that can be imported directly into a project. The web-based EPLAN data portal delivers around 100,000 pieces of the latest tested and certified component and device data from numerous component manufacturers - thereby giving users an extra productivity boost.
An extensive collection of device and component data provided directly by companies such as ABB, Rittal, Phoenix Contact and Lapp Kabel, which has been verified for use in the EPLAN platform ensures, seamless engineering at maximum speed. A desired component can be found by using a keyword, manufacturer name, product group or catalogue view in the direct search function. The time-consuming act of browsing through catalogues and manually transferring information are a thing of the past. Consistent and reliable data is entered directly in a project from the EPLAN data portal - with all the convenient functions of a web-based solution.
With just a click, complete macros of, for example, PLC devices, measuring transducers or frequency converters can be imported into an EPLAN project. Integrated connection diagrams and function templates provide the exact representation of complex devices and components. This not only ensures a smooth implementation due to the data being available in 'EPLAN-ready' format for immediate use in the project, but the result is a faster delivery due to more intelligent planning, more reliable placement on the mounting panel and more efficient wiring.
