You only have to set one, like here in the Page type. You simply activate the required value, here the to-be-iltered page type.

This can still be used to ilter search results or to ind and ilter speciic structure identiiers. The main area is the working area for editing the schematic the graphical editor. A number of dialogs can be associated with the main area. These range from the page navigator to user-deined toolbars. The graphical editor is not restricted to a single representation. The familiar idea of work- spaces can be used to rapidly switch the entire EPLAN user interface from one represen- tation to another, including all the associated dialogs, toolbars, etc.

The most important function of the title bar is the display of the cur- rently open project name. This display can be customized by the user. The information logic shows the page type and the scale of this page.

The example shows an open logical page at a scale of This does not apply to all functions, but looking at the status bar can be a great help for some EPLAN actions. The last characters in the status bar have the following meaning: The hash means that the project contains connections that have not been updated. This is easy to remember and the command then only requires a single keystroke. The current system messages can then be read here. There are diferent points of view: the graphical system and the logical systems for the areas of electrical engineering, luid power and process engineering.

This means that when the page scale changes, the page is enlarged upwards and to the right. These positions are always measured from the original element and its origin usually the so-called insertion point in diferent directions.

In this case these are negative values, since the property is Fig. The grid is visually displayed with small dots. These grid settings can then be selected in the Fig. They can all be assigned to a keyboard shortcut as well. This function enables or disables Snap to grid. When Snap to grid is enabled, elements can only be placed on the activated grid.

Intermediate positions or free placement are not possible. When the grid snap is switched of, then all elements can be freely placed this also applies to logic elements such as symbols. This Snap to grid function allows you to align diferent elements outside the grid to the currently set grid.

The design mode allows you to align graphical elements to speciic points, i. If the design mode is enabled, irst you select the action, Move for example, and then you select the object and deine its starting and end points. Then use the mouse to pull a window around the misaligned elements. The window can be pulled in any direction.

When inished all elements are contained in the window , release the mouse button and EPLAN will align all elements that are inside the window to the grid. It also works the other way around. First select the object s you want to align and then click the button. EPLAN will then align the selected objects to the set grid.

These two features relate to the cursor position. If the use grApHicAl coordinAtes option is deactivated, then it is only possible to enter integer values, such as 1, 3 or If the use grApHicAl coordinAtes option is activated, then it is also possible to enter Increment input real numbers such as 1. Coordinate input Fig. The X and Y positions can be directly entered in this dialog. NOTE: The mouse should not be used here because it would probably shit the position where you want to jump.

During coordinate input, it is also possible to switch between the diferent coordinate systems graphic, electrical engineering, luid power and process engineering.

The relAtiVe coordinAte input function is accessed via the options menu. This means that you could start drawing a new line and then call the relative coordinate input. In the simplest case, you could enter the length of the line, and EPLAN would use this length, place the cursor in the position and terminate the drawing of the line. In contrast to the static coordinate input, the input here is always relative to the current cursor position. You should take this into consideration when drawing.

In order to redeine the base point, for example, to calculate the horizontal values from the center of the circle, you place the cursor on the center, press the o key and then press enter. All positions are immediately calculated using this new base point and displayed in the status bar. You can reset the base point shit using the o key or you can simply change pages. EPLAN also ofers true to scale drawings with many dimension- ing possibilities and many additional well-known CAD functions, such as stretching, trim- ming modifying the length and grouping of elements.

This will not be explained in detail here because the calls and the functions are very simple and easy to understand.

If you require 1 millimeter in- crements, then you should set the grid for this page to 1 1 millimeter , either by using the buttons of the grid settings or directly in the page properties i. Now there are three options. Option 1: You draw rectangle using the mouse or the keyboard by counting grid in- crements. In addition to the pure graphical functions, such as drawing a rectangle or circle, EPLAN also lets you edit these graphical objects later.

Such editing could include the following: changing the length of graphical elements, cutting out parts of graphical elements, round- ing corners and much more. Then, you have to deine the center of rotation around which the object is to be rotated. Now you enter the rotation angle directly in the input box and conirm with enter. EPLAN has rotated the object. You can also rotate pure symbols components.

But you can only use the rotation angles that already exist as a symbol variant. Then you select the object to be mirrored. You can also mirror pure symbols components.

But you can only use the mirroring angles that already exist as a symbol variant. You must enter a decimal point in the scaling factor for it to work. Then, you select the right-hand section of the rectangle in this example with a window. EPLAN places round markers in the corners and waits for you to deine the starting point of the stretch. NOTE: Using cutof for grouped objects is not quite the same.

If you want to cut sections of grouped objects, you have to keep the SHIFT key pressed and then cut the relevant section. Ater launching the function, you can click the desired corner and deine the illet radius in the input box. Chamfer does not illet corners, it gives them a sloping edge.

EPLAN uses these parameters ater you press enter or let-click the object. The same chamfer setting can be applied imme- diately to the next corner.

Every element must be manually adjusted to its new size via the properties dialog, or when multiple elements are selected, the elements that are not to be scaled must be manually deselected. You use the mouse to select all elements that belong together and then call up the group command from the menu or alternatively use the g key.

You simply select one of the grouped ele- ments EPLAN automatically selects all the elements in the group. EPLAN removes the grouping and all elements are once more individually accessible. Individual elements within a grouping can also be edited independently. Press and hold the sHiFt key, and then double-click the desired object within the group.

The remaining group objects are not afected. In addition to inserting and drawing new elements, you can also copy and delete ele- ments. In this menu, you can call up the func- tions copy, MoVe, etc. To use the functions on ele- ments, you have to irst select an element let mouse click and then select the function. EPLAN ofers accurately scaled dimensioning, depending on the page scale that is set.

Dimensioning types include, for example, continued dimension and radius dimension. The procedure for dimensioning elements is just as simple as drawing the elements themselves. The various dimensioning methods will be illustrated with an example. This allows EPLAN to start precisely at the ends or the midpoints of elements, without you having to tediously try to reach the ends of a line, for example. This usually cannot be done precisely.

In this example, a rectangle will be dimensioned. EPLAN sets this point as the start of the dimensioning. For the dimensioning itself, there are a number of properties that can be called by double- clicking the dimension itself. The Format tab is where you deine the settings for dimension values, etc. This does not afect the dimension lines. No numbering or coding system is used, so that the user can always see what the text is and does not need to look up a number in a text ile to know which text entry the number refers to.

Normal texts are texts that have no further functionality except their visual display. Translation of this type of text is possible without problems. Normal text should usually only be used to place text that does not need to be used in any other way, for example to provide extra information in a black box.

It is only possible to later change normal free text to function text by activating the pAtH Function text selection box. Path function texts should generally be used to automatically ill speciic devices with function text, for example based on the page path. Automatic path function text Fig. It is therefore advantageous to always work with path function texts, since subsequent conversion from normal texts to path function texts is possible, but requires unnecessary extra work.

If path function texts are gener- ally to be used, the keyboard shortcut for free text should be redeined to path function text. In this case, the keyboard shortcut for normal free text should be set to a diferent keyboard shortcut. Path function texts. But this might not be desired, for reasons of space or because the path function text is to apply equally to several devices. This way, it will not matter whether the insertion point is directly below the device or not.

It is suicient if the path function text and the device are located in the same path the column. NOTE: But extending the reporting of text to the path can also result in the text being assigned to objects in the path where this is not wanted. There- fore, you need to be careful when using the Extend path function text on the schematic path.

Special texts can be page property texts or project property texts. They are generally used in forms project properties or in the plot frame page properties and less so as text on project pages. This way you can place text from the project properties or the page properties on pages. This can save a lot of time in manu- ally changing this information. You select text and press enter key or a let click to open the dialog. The dialogs for normal text and path function text are the same.

Only the win- dow title bar of the text input ield has a diferent text type name. You enter text in the Text ield. You can translate the text at this point, or remove the translation. A number of ields are also free input ields, such as the ield for the Angle property.

Here, you can select default values, such as the layer setting default for the angle, or enter your own values. Depending on the existing project languages, you can then select in the One language variable selection ield the desired Displayed language. This node contains properties, for example, to always limit the Width or Height of a text. These functions are very useful, especially for translations. This prevents translations from overlapping each other since the width of the text expansion can be limited.

In this case, it does not matter whether it is pure text or device text. The procedure is always the same. Depending on the direction, the lines will increase or decrease in height, improving legibility. This means that, if you wanted to, you could set diferent line heights everywhere. Logical connections and reports can be generated based on components and their entered properties or assigned function deinitions.

In this dialog, you can select the appropriate symbol. You can either use direct entry List view , in which case you must have a certain amount of knowledge of identiiers, and enter the symbol names directly into the Direct entry ield, or you can select the symbol selected from the list using the mouse.

Symbol selection list dialog Fig. EPLAN generally provides symbols with eight variants. As with many other dialogs, it is possible to set a ilter in this dialog via the selection button. You can use the ilters to display only Multi-line symbols or only a special Symbol library. In addition to the List view, the syMbol selection dialog also lets you select symbols from a tree view. In contrast to the list view, symbols here are listed according to a struc- ture.

Depending on the application, a symbol can be found more quickly when you search, for example, for the motor overload switch symbol using plain text. Symbol selection tree dialog Fig. Here is where you ind ields for the Displayed DT can be edited , the Full DT ield can be edited indirectly via the selection button and the follow-up Full DT dialog where the DT is split into its elements, which can be edited individually , the Connection point designation selectable from the selection list , Connection point description selecta- ble from the selection list , Technical characteristics, Function text of the symbol!

Aside from these items, there is also an important check box: Main function. This box lets you decide whether this symbol is to be a main function can carry a part , or an auxiliary function does not contain parts data. The button can be used to add new proper- ties. Here, you can select a new property and then click oK to apply it in the properties coMpo- nents dialog. All properties that are not gray in the Value column of this dialog can be changed. The Display tab also contains all elements for changing the display of the properties.

On this tab, you can change the format, font size or font for each property, including the connection points of devices. In this case, you would open the Connection points tab in the property arrangement. The toolbar can be used to insert new properties, move the sequence of properties, or dock and undock them. Docked proper- ties are those that do not have a symbol in front of the property name. These properties are assigned to the next higher property that has a symbol. Now it is independent of the other properties and can be placed freely.

To undock a property, you select it and Fig. Then, Undocking a property using the direction buttons, you move it to the end of the property arrange- ment. The procedure is the same as with texts and will not be discussed further here. The control of the language display will also not be discussed again. One example is the Activate leader line setting.

The Activate leader line setting allows you to activate a leader line for each property dis- played on a device. A diferent angle variant of the symbol can be selected in the Variant ield. You simply open the selection list and select the desired variant.

All other ields Library, etc. All other ields are then derived automatically from the applied function deinition. This may be neces- sary, for example, if you wish to create or represent an overview on a multi-line schematic page. Aside from the previous graphical and functional information, there are additional settings options under the logic button.

In a targeted manner, you can change or adjust logical information such as Connection point type or the Number of targets, Potential type and much more for the individual connection point of a device. This makes it possible, like with terminals, to use the same designation several times PE rail , and the check run will not ind any duplicate connection point designations.

Click the Part number ield and then use the that appears to switch to parts management. Parts management automatically closes ater the part is applied. In addition to simple part selection, this dialog also has a deVice selection button. In contrast to simple part selection, this will ofer only devices for selection that it the exist- ing functions of the symbol in the project.

When automatically generated, they create visual and logical connections, e. NOTE: Inserting and illing out of the corresponding symbols for the cross- reference display examples will not be explained at this point.

More details are available in the following sections. The auxiliary contacts physically belong to the motor overload switch or pushbutton switch symbol and, for the sake of clarity, should also be displayed at the switch. In the following, a motor overload switch is inserted into the schematic. The motor over- load switch initially has no auxiliary contact at the symbol.

As such, this is not a problem, because EPLAN creates a report on the auxiliary contacts used in the schematic on the basis of the settings on the Display tab in the Contact image selection ield the selection here is set to on coMponent. This way, the contacts used and their cross-references are displayed automatically. Not all auxiliary contacts are always used, and EPLAN would display the motor overload switch only with the auxiliary contacts used as graphical representation at the motor overload switch.

To display those contacts anyway, a device with the appropriate Function deinition must be assigned to the Motor overload switch symbol. You open the properties of the symbol, switch to the Parts tab and click the deVice selection button.

All these have to be taken into consideration during device selection. This is important to know because in certain situations this can result in devices not being displayed in the device selection. Back to device selection: EPLAN recognizes that the motor overload switch consists of the motor overload switch itself and a placed auxiliary contact considered a function. Now all parts that it the selected motor overload switch including its used functions , i.

In the upper area of the deVice selection Function dialog, you can now select the right part and click to apply it. If you now leave the syMbol properties dialog by clicking the oK button, EPLAN will use the stored function deinitions to graph- ically recreate the entire contact image for the auxiliary contacts.

It makes no diference whether the auxiliary contacts have been used in the schematic or not. But if you wish to, or must, deviate from this automatic setting, you can modify the item manually.

In the contAct iMAge position dialog that follows you can manually edit the position for the Y and X values. Similar to the previous example, at irst only the contacts used are automatically dis- played in the contact image. The procedure is identical to that already described in the motor overload switch example. Ater device selection, the full contact image is displayed. If this does not occur, then the Contact image entry in the displAy tab of the Symbol properties dialog must be checked.

It must be set to the In path entry. Every contact image can be individually moved it makes no diference whether the contact image type is On component or In path. You then click the contact image. You let click to place it in the desired position. But situations can arise where there are no parts with correct function templates. It is, ater all, only because of the function tem- plates that EPLAN knows, for example, that an illuminated pushbutton consists of several functions.

Using an illuminated pushbutton as an example, we will now see how contact images can be referenced to the interconnected functions even without parts. It is assigned a DT and is designated as a main function. In addition to the pushbutton, a lamp is also inserted. It is not assigned a DT, nor is it designated as a main function. The representation type of the lamp is set to Pair cross- reference.

Depending on how they are set or adjusted, they can inluence deVice selection and thus the selection of parts. This way, only parts will be ofered for selection that match the identifying func- tion data. Identifying function data is the data that is located on the tabs, e. General devices, Cable, Contactor, etc. If the Use available function data setting is disabled, you can select devices freely. This means that the function data available in the project at the function does not have to match the function data in the parts selection.

These can be window, page and symbol macros. Special macros are macros with value sets. These can be window and page macros. When using or creating macros exception: macros with value sets , it generally makes no difer- ence whether it is a window macro on a multi-line page or a macro on a graphical page. Window macros can include single or multiple devices and objects within an area, or several items within a page.

To create a window macro, you irst use the mouse to select the associated devices on the respective page. These may be individual devices or unrelated parts circuits on a project page. The irst thing you should do is enter a descriptive ile name for the window macro.

The macro directory is usually the company- speciic macro directory, but this can be changed if desired. The select MAcro dialog opens. Here you can select the desired variant or representation type from the default directory or a diferent macro directory by selecting a diferent directory in the Search in: selection ield.

When you click open, the macro will hang on the cursor and can be placed anywhere on the page. To summarize, window macros are only possible on one the same page but with diferent variations, such as the gathering of objects that do not all have to be within a single win- dow. A window macro can also be the contents of the entire page all objects on the page.

The MoVe HAndle menu item lets you save a separately created handle base point with the macro. It is a good idea to enable the object snAp setting here. This way, you can save many representations under one macro name. It is possible to have a macro for the multi-line representation type, one for the part placement and one for the single-line display.

Of course, this must be present in the macro. This just means that the same macro name ile name of the macro can have diferent content. Depending on the variant used and in connection with the representa- tion types, you can have up to possible variants macro variants within one macro. For example, you could save diferent macro variants of a PLC card in one macro. If this option is activated, then EPLAN reduces or enlarges the macro to suit the page scale when it is inserted into a page.

The familiar sAVe As dialog, as described in the 4. The ile name and description can be entered here. No handles, no representa- tion types, and no variants are possible with page macros. However, page macros store all the information relating to a page or pages page properties. This includes, for example, the structure identiiers or the form pages stored in the page properties. You open the page navigator, select the desired pages and use the right-click popup menu to call the creAte pAge MAcro command.

Here you select the desired macro and click open to apply it. In addition to the preview display which has a ixed size , the grApHicAl pre- View window can also be permanently displayed View menu. The advantage of this window is that the size can be changed, and you can see the details better. Here, the page s can be stored in the project and sorted into the existing page structure.

At this point, it is, of course, possible to adjust the structure of the pages as desired. Generally, symbol macros are completely identical to window macros in terms of handling and creation.

Further explanation will therefore not be provided. This may take a while depend- ing on the hardware and the storage location server, local. You do not necessarily need to edit these at the moment. This can be done later during project editing. The project proper- ties can now be adjusted or completely changed on the Properties, Structure etc. There is one limitation: The structure of the pages, located in the Structure tab, can no longer be changed grayed out.

It is fixed because the page structure was defined in the basic project. The project can now be edited. This makes it possible, like with terminals, to use the same designation several times PE rail , and the check run will not find any duplicate connection point designations. Click the Part number field and then use the button that appears to switch to parts man- agement.

In parts management, you Fig. Parts management automatically closes after the part is applied. In contrast to simple part selection, this will offer only devices for selection that fit the exist- ing functions of the symbol in the project.

EPLAN data fields and external data fields are assigned in this scheme. Here, the type of data source, the data source itself and, of course, the import scheme field assignment are configured.

It is also possible to select a different function definition instead of the default terminal. Generate functions Just click the button. However, this is not a precondition. All function definitions can be easily changed later using block editing in the terminal strip navigator. We return once more to generation of the functions: The functions can only be generated when all entered data is correct EPLAN will enable the OK button.

If an error exists in the numbering pattern, e. You must check for this. This data must can be assigned later using device selection. The entries are similar to the previous section. You need to select a DT, a numbering pattern, and, most importantly, a part the device from parts management.

When all entries are correct, you can start device generation by clicking the OK button. EPLAN saves the functions in the navigator as unplaced functions. They already have parts data. All feed- back, whether criticism or praise, has always been a strong motivator for me to revise this book. Furthermore, the book assumes that the user has all of the user rights in EPLAN and is logged in as the local administrator.

Some of the settings used in this book, such as those for filters or schemes, differ from the standard EPLAN installation. All of this additional data is available in the sample data. In addition, some custom, non-standard shortcut keys were also used. The following text boxes are used to visually highlight notes, tips, etc. This box provides additional information and tips. By design, EPLAN does not overwrite user-related master data because the user may have modified the original system master data and saved this under the original name assigned by EPLAN.

During installation, EPLAN does not recognize whether this data has been changed on purpose and would therefore simply replace it. Usually the user does not want this to happen.

If a license has not yet been installed, a dialog prompting or requesting a selection of the appropriate license is displayed before the program starts. What combinations of letters and page names are allowed for subpages?

How should paths be numbered: by page, by project or by struc- ture identifier? The most important parameter in these settings is the definition or sub- sequent changing of the global plot frame for the project. A separate plot frame can be defined for every page in the page properties independently of the global plot frame setting. The page settings always have priority over the global project settings. New entries addi- tion of symbol libraries are automatically stored in the project after the setting is saved.

Settings for displaying translation lan- guages displaying translations in the project are also configured here. You also have to define a source language here. This helps to prevent operating errors, e. Any storage location can be selected using the button. The usual range of templates and basic projects are available for selection.

NOTE: These fields cannot be changed later on. It is therefore very impor- tant to make sure you enter the correct data. After defining the above entries, you need to select a template. This can be a project tem- plate or a basic project. You simply click the More button. You can select the relevant project type in the File type field. EPLAN then returns to the Create project dialog and imports the selected basic project or the template project into the Template field.

The new project is created from the selected basic project.

The SOFIA research aircraft has now been operating for 8 years, enabling close observation of space by recording infrared radiation. The complex electrical engineering of this unique telescope has so far been available only on paper and in the form of PDF documents.

The underlying principle is consistent, cross-disciplinary design processes from mechanical and process engineering through to fluid power and electrical engineering. Good things sometimes come from chance events. Jeddah, Mecca, Benin City. Many systems are also travelling the high seas, i.

This is possible only by electrical design being as consistent as possible and highly automated. Everyone is talking about Industry 4. But what about the strategic digitization of design processes and designing control technology for machines and plant systems? Researchers at the E4TC in Aachen introduced an engineering workflow model among other things and prepared an evaluation matrix with five efficiency levels.
