Eplan Engineering Configuration

Your company solution for configuration and automated engineering

EEC: Eplan Engineering Configuration

Eplan Engineering Configuration (EEC) lets you map your product portfolio into a modular system with interdisciplinary functional units. Using this as a foundation, EEC offers you the possibility of linking configurations and automatically generating engineering documentation for your electrical design projects.

EEC’s interdisciplinary approach integrates sales, order processing, electrical and control technology engineering as well as manufacturing and documentation. For optimal results, connect EEC with an upstream configurator, for instance on your homepage. This will enable you to generate engineering documentation such as schematics and panel layouts, manufacturing documentation and PLC software codes at the click of a mouse.

Your added value for configuration and automated engineering

Automated engineering
Automated documentation
Consistency and collaboration
Standardization and cost savings

Automated engineering tailored to your requirements

EEC supports the use of industry standard components, reducing the need for custom designs and improving the interaction between systems.

EEC can help reduce project costs by optimizing designs, reducing the need for rework and improving project efficiency.

Re-using data for automated documentation

EEC can generate a wide range of documentation, including:

Parts lists and bill of materials (BOMs): Accurate parts lists and BOMs are generated automatically. This allows engineers to keep track of components.

Schematic diagrams: EEC can create detailed schematics that show, how all components of a system are interconnected.

Wiring diagrams: Created schematics display, how cables and wires are laid between the components.

Panel layouts: Layouts show the physical arrangement of the components within an electrical control panel.

Terminal diagrams: EEC can generate terminal diagrams, displaying the wiring connections between components and terminals.

Reports: Eplan Engineering Configuration can generate detailed reports, including project status reports, design verification reports, and documentation for regulatory compliance.

3D models: 3D models of electrical control panels can be created. This enables engineers to visualize and optimize the physical layout of components.

PLC programs: EEC can generate PLC programs, helping engineers to automate the control of complex systems.

Structured text: Information in xml, txt or other formats can be used for further processing in downstream systems.

Continuous workflows for continuous configuration

With EEC, engineers can ensure that design configurations are consistent across all projects, reducing errors and improving quality.

EEC makes it easy for engineers to collaborate and share designs with colleagues, suppliers, and customers, improving communication and reducing delays.

Standardization and cost savings

EEC supports the use of industry standard components, reducing the need for custom designs and improving the interaction between systems.

EEC can help reduce project costs by optimizing designs, reducing the need for rework and improving project efficiency.
