Discover Eplan Platform 2025: Smart Features for Effortless Engineering

Eplan Platform 2025 includes a host of upgrades that streamline the design process, enhance collaboration, and simplify the management of complex cabling systems. In this blog post, we will introduce the key features and improvements that are exclusive to Platform 2025 and cater to the evolving needs of engineers.

Key Enhancements in Eplan Platform 2025

1. Macro Preview in Device Management

Introducing macro preview within device management, a standout feature in Platform 2025. This functionality allows users to view images associated with components and detailed information such as 2D models, digital twins, and schematic macros. Users can easily ascertain the relevant data without navigating through multiple properties by providing a comprehensive overview of each component, like a motor. This enhancement simplifies device management, saving time and reducing errors.

2. Device-Specific Property Display

Engineers can find it challenging to understand the diverse properties of components, like cables, terminals, and conductors, but Eplan Platform 2025 addresses this by making device-specific properties readily accessible upon clicking a component. Users can see this information instantly in the properties overview, device management, and Insert Center. This fully configurable feature allows teams to tailor the displayed data to meet their specific needs.

3. Enhanced Comments Navigator for Better Collaboration

The expanded Comments Navigator in Eplan Platform 2025 supports effective collaboration, which is essential in engineering projects. Directly accessible from the ribbon menu, the Comments Navigator facilitates communication among team members, allowing users to leave comments or corrections directly on schematics. These new functionalities allow for easy creation and management of comments, viewing history, and saving status information. Further, cloud-based collaboration, complete with redlining and greenlining options, guarantees that everyone is aligned, regardless of their physical location.

4. Intelligent Connections for Machine Cabling

Prefabricated cables present unique challenges in machine cabling, particularly in defining and measuring lengths. Eplan has developed a solution that elevates machine cabling through Eplan Cable proD, which integrates with Electric P8. This innovative product serves as a bridge between 3D models from MCAD systems and precise cabling information. This enables engineers to define, route, and order cables with accuracy and efficiency.

5. Terminal Strip Planning for ClipX Engineer

To simplify the planning of terminal strips, Platform 2025 introduces a new interface with ClipX Engineer. This connection allows users to export complete terminal strips from Eplan Pro Panel directly to Phoenix Contact applications. ClipX Engineer automatically checks for missing or incorrect accessories and returns a fully completed terminal strip into Pro Panel. This ensures that terminal strips are correctly planned from the outset, streamlining the workflow and reducing costly errors.

6. QR Codes and Images for Enhanced Clarity

A significant improvement in Platform 2025 is the ability to link QR codes and images with symbols in schematics. This feature adds depth to the data represented in the diagrams, allowing technicians to scan QR codes for direct access to installation instructions or maintenance information. By embedding such intuitive features, Eplan makes schematics user-friendly and accelerates the workflow for production, commissioning, and servicing technicians.

7. Automated Mechanical Cable Routing

Platform 2025 simplifies mechanical cable routing by automatically recognizing dependencies between cables and components. This ensures that any changes are reflected across connections and cabling lists, drastically reducing the chances of missing cables during production. Additionally, the software’s ability to route cables through components without manual intervention guarantees no connections are overlooked, enhancing the accuracy of connection and conductor lists.
