EPLAN Pro Panel Professional convinces through its deep degree of integration in the EPLAN platform and utilizes its manifold basic techniques such as the EPLAN device concept, the macro and options technology, access to the EPLAN Data Portal, etc. The design approach is individual: Optionally on the basis of a schematic or directly as layout of the enclosure in 3D. The devices provided for the mounting layout are displayed well-structured in Navigators or lists. During placing the system checks whether the positioning is carried out on the correct mounting panel.

The innovative eTouch technology allows components to be comfortably aligned and positioned exactly. Installation regulations and minimum spacing to manufacturer specification are taken into account as are the correct positioning of devices, wire ducts and mounting rails, including collision checks. The overview of all the designed devices and components allows the items to be checked simply on the basis of the parts data. Reports and bills of materials contain precise information also about items that vary in length such as wire ducts or mounting rails. Exact specifications therefore for manufacturing and mounting. Changes in the schematic or mounting layout are included in the entire project. The system informs interdisciplinarily and updates the associated drawings, bills of materials and legends automatically if desired. Thus ensuring uniform and consistent data that are always up to date.

Complete consistency
The software makes professional 3D layout planning easy even for the occasional user. Production relevant NC data for holes or cutouts is taken account in the 3D model and can be further processed. In addition to associative mounting diagrams special drilling templates for manufacturing can, for example, also be created. Modifications to housings, doors or mounting panels are transferred directly to the NC production systems via an NC interface. The deep manufacturing integration is also continued in the virtual wiring of the enclosure. The results of the length-optimized virtual wiring and cabling can in turn be used to optimize the schematic. The new quality in enclosure engineering covers all the phases of product development. The realistic 3D representation ensures high-quality data for manufacturing, mounting and operation. It facilitates the consistent creation, provision and maintenance of the documentation and accelerates the product engineering process persistently.
