EPLAN Compact is a streamlined edition of the EPLAN electrical design platform, focused on the essentials for creating and managing 2D electrical schematics and project documentation. It’s aimed at smaller teams or organizations that need professional schematic design without the overhead of advanced, multi-discipline modules.
Key capabilities include device and terminal management, automatic cross-referencing, use of parts/article databases, and the generation of reports such as bills of materials, wiring lists, and terminal diagrams. Macros and templates help standardize projects and speed up repetitive tasks. Typical outputs include maintenance-ready documentation and manufacturing deliverables, with support for common formats like PDF and DXF/DWG. Depending on configuration, it can also exchange data with PLC and ERP lists.
Note: Feature sets and licensing can vary by release and configuration, and advanced disciplines (such as fluid engineering, cable harness design, or 3D panel layout) generally require higher editions. EPLAN Compact runs on Windows.
EPLAN Compact is developed by EPLAN. The most popular version of this product among our users is 5.7. The name of the program executable file is Epl6000.exe.
