EPLAN Pro Panel:
New “Copper” module
Computer-assisted engineering of switchgear and busbars allows many of the construction parameters to be
checked ahead of actual implementation and manufacturing. This means that interference factors and other
aspects of consistent quality assurance can be calculated during the development phase and any problems
eliminated early on. Individual copper rails and connection components can now be freely designed with the
new “Copper” extension module for Eplan Pro Panel Professional. The complete 3D installation assembly is
visualised and checked for plausibility.
