EPLAN Platform 2.3

EPLAN Platform is a professional engineering environment from EPLAN Software & Service GmbH & Co. KG that unifies electrical, fluid power, instrumentation and control, panel building, and wiring/harness design in one consistent system. It supports the complete workflow—from preplanning and schematic creation to 3D cabinet layout, reporting, and handover—so teams can connect disciplines, standardize data, and apply rules-based design for repeatable results.

Highlights

• Multi-discipline CAE/ECAD: Create and maintain electrical and fluid schematics, panel/cabinet layouts, and wiring/harness documentation in a shared environment.
• Intelligent automation: Use macros, device templates, and rule checks; automatically generate wire numbers and produce bills of materials, terminal diagrams, PLC I/O lists, cable schedules, and other reports.
• Centralized device data: Ensure consistency with managed parts and symbols, and access manufacturer datasets via the EPLAN Data Portal.
• 3D cabinet engineering: Place components, route wiring, verify clearances, and output production-ready manufacturing data.
• Collaboration and change control: Benefit from revision management, project comparisons, multilingual documentation, and variant/option handling for modular machine concepts.
• Integration-ready: Connect to ERP/PLM/PDM systems, exchange PLC tags, interface with MCAD and shop-floor equipment, and extend functionality through the EPLAN API and scripting.
• Cloud-enabled workflows: Share, review, and manage projects using EPLAN cloud services such as eMANAGE and eVIEW.

By consolidating data and automating repetitive tasks, the EPLAN Platform helps machine builders, panel shops, OEMs, and system integrators reduce engineering time, minimize errors, and deliver consistent, high-quality documentation across the product lifecycle.
