Eplan Electric P8
Your no. 1 software for electrical engineering and schematic design
Eplan Electric P8: More than ECAD
Eplan Electric P8 is your software for creating electrical schematics, related documents and managing engineering data. Use Eplan for electrical engineering of machines, control cabinets or complete plant systems.
Rely on the number one software for electrical design and save time while increasing your project quality.
Eplan Electric P8 offers you much more than traditional electrical CAD software: fast schematic design including component, device and cable data. Design-supporting functions let you create schematic-related documents on the fly, like auto connecting, online checks, translations and automatic evaluations.
Template-based design, including graphical and technical variant management, make change management faster and easier. Your benefits include less effort for your day-to-day work and more time for more important engineering tasks.
Your added value for schematic design
- Graphical design
- Device driven design
- Automated design
- Integration
Create schematics faster
Design with standard symbols, auto wire connecting, automated numbering and cross referencing
Use predefined device data
Access to millions of device data sets for your schematics, graphical and data-based engineering in one step from the Eplan Data Portal
Create electrical documentation in seconds
One-time set up of pre-defined template libraries, create schematics with a few clicks again and again
Integrate Eplan to other systems
Easy integration to ERP and PDM systems, seamless data flows from engineering to operations
Bill of material
Bill of material automatically derived from electrical schematic
Complete your electrical documentation with reports, lists and overviews that Eplan automatically generates based on the data from the circuit diagram - at the push of a button.
Graphical report
Graphical reports for more overview in the electrical documentation
Complete your electrical documentation with graphical reports. This makes schematics easier to read and all the important information can be captured at a glance.
High end electrical schematics
High end electrical schematics
Quickly and easily create high-quality circuit diagrams with device identifiers, automatic cross-references, part information, wire numbering and technical data all displayed and automatically updated in the circuit diagram.
PLC connection diagram
PLC connection diagram integrated into electrical schematic
The data on the automation technology such as PLC hardware, PLC addresses, function texts and the connection assignment can also be recorded, documented and managed in Eplan.
Single line diagram integrated
Single line diagram integrated into your electrical documentation
Single line circuit diagrams improve clarity and help in the first planning steps in the design and dimensioning of automation or energy distribution systems. All information stored in a single line diagram can be used to create the multi line circuit diagrams.
Graphical overview
Graphic overviews facilitate the structural and functional planning of a machine/plant. All information entered in the overview can be taken over directly in detailed circuit diagrams and other documents of the electrical design The synchronisation of this data is also guaranteed in Eplan.
