ePLAN Electric P8 Heavyweight Vol.1/2 - The Crash Course

Eplan Electric P8 Crash Course A-Z, to get you going ASAP, while working on a real-life example of an automation system

To get the most of Eplan Electric P8 by using it the proper way

To design a typical real-life example of an industrial automation project - cooling tunnel

To create a project, add pages, adjust project and page structures for your own need

To edit plotframe and forms to conform your company's design standards

To create various types of schematics to learn different aspects of creating schematics (going with wires between cabinets, motor power and control circuits, PLC, analog signals, shielded cables, general devices (black boxes)

To clean up your ePLAN project from errors and warnings with the help of the "Check Project" functionality

zw1), page/window macros, export to PDF and to DXF/DWG)

To prepare your ePLAN project for a final delivery to your customer

Eplan Electric P8 software 2.7 HF5 license (but any other version will do the job, since the version 1.9, including Education)

Basic knowledge of electrical symbols and electrical drawings

DISCLAIMER: Please note that this is not an official EPLAN course. For official training and certification as well as for the purchase of EPLAN software contact the manufacturer of the software.

Instructor's recommendation: If you are a total bner in EPLAN or you would just want to see the key features of this program then I recommend you check the course: "ePLAN Electric P8 - The Essentials - For Bners". This one is going to get you going and speed up your learning progress in the Eplan Heavyweight courses.

Important: Lecture 2 shows you how to and import parts from Siemens and Phoenix Contact without access to Data Portal.

Hi,

welcome to my first course in the series about EPLAN Electric P8.

In this course I have covered the essential topics / sections in EPLAN to get you going as soon as possible and to prepare you for the real-life scenarios in the electrical design.

That is why I decided to work on a real-life example of a project in the field of Industrial Automation. Simple but effective concept. Typical industrial automation systems consist of many different snts. Here are some of them:

- typically more than one electrical cabinet (that's why we work with 3 cabinets in our EPLAN project for our exercise)

- power distribution (in our EPLAN project some motors (fans) and a general device that needs 400VAC power supply)

- PLC cabinet (CAB3 in our EPLAN Project) - we work with Siemens S7-1500 PLC

- control and exchange signals (to control our motors and to exchange signals with a higher-level control system)

- analog input signals (in our case temperature measurement with transmitter in head of the instrument - typical industrial application)

- Technology overview (also in our EPLAN project, to get better understanding of what we are designing)

Moreover, throughout the lessons we cover EPLAN specific topics. Here are some of them:

- Creating new EPLAN project

- Editing plot frame and forms (advanced)

- EPLAN's "Check Project" Functionality (advanced)

- Rounding up our EPLAN project by adding various reports to the project (Title page, table of contents, teals diagrams, cable overview)

- Learning how to exchange EPLAN project, pages and parts of schematics (in different formats, such as EPLAN files, DWG/DXF, PDF) with our customer and our team members

- And much more

***IMPORTANT NOTICE***

In this course we are NOT going to be working with parts data and with 2D Panel Layout. I've decided to cover those snts of EPLAN in a separate course since (and I speak from my professional experience) not all of the customers demand that I assign parts to elements in the schematics and create a 2D Panel Layout in EPLAN. I work on projects rag from couple of tens of thousands dollars up to multimillion projects and in most cases the customer give their own parts database and standardized 2D panel layouts. The purpose of this course is to get you going ASAP in EPLAN and for those snts I do not find crucial I will be making separate courses. Bning from assigning parts and 2D panel layout (Eplan Course Vol.2), then later on Translation, Wire-numbering, custom PLC schematics etc.

I have decided not to talk to much during the lessons (the concept applied only in this course), but instead occasionally share with you some short real-life stories, additional tips and tricks and little assignments you could do on your own while working your way through lessons. I believe that you should take , dive into the lessons, follow them with good concentration and try to repeat all the things I do, on your own. Harder path, but pays off better.

As mentioned, by the end of this course you will be able to create any type of schematics in EPLAN. The proper way.

And by generating reports, checking your project for errors, being able to exchange various type of files with your team member and with a customer you will be able to create a well-rounded electrical project created in Eplan Electric P8.

I have been working in this software for almost a decade now and not once considered trying out software in the same category (Computer Aided Eeering).

It is today's standard on the CAE market so if you invest some quality and effort, it will pay off.

It has done a lot for me over the years. Just by knowing how to properly work in EPLAN I always was able to acquire new job, clients, projects, anywhere in the world!

I hope you will find my course interesting and valuable and I wish you a lot of fun and a great success in mastering Eplan Electric P8.

Your Instructor for Electrical Design,

Ivan

Generally everyone who would like to significantly improve their chance of getting a job anywhere in the world just by knowing how to work properly in Eplan Electric P8

Everyone considering to start to use ePLAN for electrical design

Electricians, technicians and eeers
