14 eplanet Technology and sophistication from A-Z EPLAN Electric P8: Microsoft Office integration – Transfer of standards – Workgroup engineering – Project Manager – User interface configurator Added performance: Microsoft Office integration Integration into the Office environment ensures an added productivity boost. Excel is the standard tool for editing mass data where routine tasks are eliminated. This integrated solution offers extremely high standards of flexibility. Every company has its own standards with regard to the labeling and sorting of components. An assistant helps the user to transfer each EPLAN data record into the Excel editor; no programming knowledge whatsoever is needed. This way, the system becomes a universal tool. Any number of data records may be edited at the push of a button. What is more, Excel is fast becoming the universal data exchange format – more and more companies are transmitting information in spreadsheet form. As well as producing a clear and manageable output, this allows easy subsequent processing of large quantities of data. Not just by you either: this data may also be used in the production department for component labeling purposes, for example. Once the information has been entered, it is available for other process stages – the emphasis is on productivity, from the first click right through to the last. Automatic transfer of standards EPLAN Electric P8 supports all international standards such as IEC 61346, JIC, NFPA or the Russian GOST. The automatic conversion of standards helps to ensure your global compe- EPLAN Technology and innovation How can the future of engineering be rendered flexible and profitable? By applying simplified solutions for increasingly complex tasks. EPLAN Electric P8 tackles the new requirements with real class, thanks to a range of new features and benefits. Discover the ideas of a new era in international CAE with EPLAN Electric P8. titiveness against a backdrop of growing internationalization. The standard templates, evaluation forms and mapping of the different symbol libraries are defined. The system automatically converts existing projects into the chosen standard, eliminating the need for additional work. One click, and projects are dispatched instantly via e-mail and PDF export – for global data exchange beyond national borders. Going totally global with workgroup engineering The decision is yours: EPLAN Electric P8 allows any number of users to work simultaneously on one project. Workgroup engineering operates across an entire network, across different locations, and across national borders. Distributed working means that your sub-processes are parallelized. The most significant benefit: you can compensate for tight deadlines without any loss in quality. The consistent Unicode capabilities of EPLAN Electric P8 allow circuit diagrams to be supplied in all languages. For example, everything is translated, from Chinese wiring schematics to Russian bills of materials, either online or following completion of the work. You simply design projects in your own native language and the system translates as required, whether into one language or several. Progress for innovation Precision for design-to-order
EPLAN Technology and innovation April 2006 Project Manager – the perfect assistant Utilizing the full performance capability of the software while retaining a full overview is every bit as good as it sounds. The Project Manager function is the key, as it guides you through the engineering process, without the need for specialist expert knowledge. The Project Manager highlights the available opportunities and decision-making paths, explains the individual options, and guides you reliably to your goal. If settings are repeated, these may be stored in project templates for immediate availability. This way, your efforts are rewarded twofold. User interface configurator: it belongs to you The system’s openness to individual configurations will enable you to reach your goal even faster in the future. Not only can the user interface be flexibly adjusted - various tasks and work phases can also be configured and stored, then re-accessed when needed. This applies to both device-oriented project planning and graphical editing in the style of EPLAN 5. If PLC editing is the main focus of project planning, the views and editing dialogs may be adapted to bus and PLC data. The general rule of thumb is that all relevant information is immediately accessible for every processing stage. Even occasional users soon get to grips with the software, because the toolbars may be reduced to a few essential functions. This rapid overview helps to keep individual work phases short. Passion for future technology Premium for quality and reliability PLC and bus topologies can be collected and processed in detail, with processes consistently based on these topologies.
