I have tried a couple of times to get into the basis of EPLAN because i'm sure the software can definitely improve the efficiency of the soon to be extinct company i'm working for, but the EPLAN website turns me off so quick. In 15min of the video you made me realize so much. Thank you.
Dear Mr.Roland Younk , You don’t have any idea about what support you did by doing this video.i heart fully thank you and appreciate your idea of sharing knowledge. Kindly keep up your same ideology and help more upcoming engineers like me. Regards, KOTTAM ANILKUMAR from India.
it was a professional and it will be good if you keep continuing. also solve the problem of stop at the end. your way of using this amazing software is professional at I liked it.
Damn. one of the best tutorials I have ever watched! - i would love to see such fast and structured Tutorials also in other branches (graphics, modelling etc.) Thank you very much!
Hi. At minute 3:51 you explain how to set "cross references", sorry, but I do not like this way. I prefer the cross reference to be the connection terminals, in your video, on one side should appear "CB2 29-2" "CB2 29-4" "CB2 29-6" instead of IL1, IL2, IL3. On the other side, similar references. Is it possible? Thanks for the video and your help
You may display what is connected on the other side. The cross reference as a number is typical NFPA' a row which includes the page and row. The naming 1L1, 1L2 is simply for better understanding of the signal. This is in particular nice when your a few pages down. Yet I understand why you also prefer the connection for the wiring. Have you look at my last videos talking about Smart Wiring? You see an even better and more efficient way to help fabricating and wiring your panels. By rethinking the classic methods we get you save over 33% of your delivery time. But to answer your question, it is possible in EPLAN to display the target of where the connection is going (connecting to).
Hi, many thanks for the tutorial. I have a question concerning cross-refference templates. I would like to have the interuption point cross-reference tags in curly brackets. Is there a possibility to define it somewhere so that it appears automaticly. In other words if an interruption point comes form page 7 column 4 in default the cross-refference look like /7.4. I would it to look like (7.4). I found the option of changing the preceeding sign (from "/" to "(" ) but that's not enough. Grateful for any help
macros are often shared during trainings. Here in Canada I share a special series of macros with our students. please refer to your EPLAN Expert, he has access to me and can ask me these files. I can not send them out to all on RUclips. Sorry.
This is not necessarily my personal choice, the roots are either IEC or NFPA. In my case I have a great history with NFPA. No doubts you are certainly right, but here in my area, people like this way. Sorry. I leave the other direction to other colleagues...
Please Friend. I'm working with EPLAN P8 2.2, and would like to create several pieces in the database, but not doing one by one, but using the export to 01 file in Excel and import after changes and additions are possible? Sorry my English Thank you, and congratulations on your videos.
yes this possible. The parts management has an import csv file option. From excel you can generate a csv file that can be imported with the right cfg file. cfg is a configuration that defines what fields are to be imported. Contact your EPLAN support, they should be able to help you with some consulting to define a given cfg file for a specific csv file. www.eplancanada.com/ca-en/company/locations/ pick the closest location and just call them. You can also use the EPLAN solution Center to get the answers on to do this.
how do you do the rotation of the PLC-card while in insert mode? "TAB" just toggles the network RJ45 and the terminals. Shift+TAB just shifts representations
use a macro project, insert your PLC, then rotate as wished, save the macros and now you can go back to your projects and inset via tab button get the rotated views.
EPLAN can be installed in different language which will affect your interface. Within an EPLAN project you can set the language in your project settings. Please contact our EPLAN experts locally, they will show you...
If you take a Basic EPLAN training, you will see how they modify title pages and table of contents. 2- between autocad and EPLAN depends on the level of intelligence you expect. Autocad only has graohical knowledge of things (lines circles text) missing os the function template, the connection intelligence and the parts assignement whcih all make up for a greater EPLAN. Yes you may export to Autocad, get a nice DWG draing to edit in Autocad, but the intention is not to excahnge sysmboles as you write, the intention is to produce wisely and efficiently with EPLAN, yet deliver editable drawing to an AUTOCAD user. But be smart and edit your schematics in EPLAN Only.
Hi! The default eplan zone of worksheets numbered 0-9 at the top of the sheet. Does exist that worksheet which has zones numbered 1-10 instead of 0-9, and the program can handle this with the cross references of the circuit components? If not, does exist that program which can do this? Thank you for your answer.
of course it can handle it.. as in IEC, the FN1_001 has 0-9, you may even change it yourself. Just modify the plot frame. If you do not know how, come to a basic training, we will show you. It is really easy.
With a name like Nikola Tesla I am impressed you find these advanced. Beginner videos are available directly on EPLAN's websites. The standard user will most likely take one or two EPLAN Basic trainings and this is where I come in.. I help out hereafter. Why do what others already have done. The world progresses by adding know-how together but not by doing the same thing over and over. Change and complementary information what makes us grow.
The very title is already misleading, because this video is actually not a tutorial. It's just a one-off example of how "easily" a project can be created in Eplan by someone who already knows how to use it. In other words, this is not intended to teach beginners at all, but rather to impress them with result and so motivate to spend time & efforts trying to achieve something similar, regardless of fact that Eplan is likely the most complicated to start working PROPERLY of all similar software (but they promise it will pay-off somewhat later, of course, ha-ha!).
ask your local support to provide you with the terminal project. Multi-level terminals are essentially using the same symboles, yet, the terminals are defined to be level 1 or 2 or 3. One of these levels keeps the check box "main terminal" where the part number will be defined. The best is to pick a multilevel form the dataportal from i.e..: Phoenix Contact and simply place the terminals. call your support people they will quickly help you
assign level 1,2 or more to the level property. Then in the terminal strip editor, sort the terminal sub-level so they align 1,2,3 as they do in the parts function template.
Hi Roland! I installed Eplan with student license and I can't find the templates. I think it is not available in education version. Do you have any suggestion? Maybe someone has a link to download one template to start learning. And I have searched inside all the folders in Eplan with no luck. thanks in advance
I have not tested it, but the NFPA_Bas001 may be available. send me an email, I'll send you a student education template... use your local EPLAN Channel, they will reach out for me, ask them to call Roland in Canada
In Canada we use Indeed to find jobs and you can find a few already that are looking for EPLAN knowledge. A big company such as Andritz uses EPLAN and they service the hydro plants. Look around, ask your EPLAN rep, we have have over 55 countries in the world were we are directly active locally. This platform here is probably not the best way to respond.
I am sure to understand the question. Understanding the basic of PLC is certainly helpfull when you generate the schematics related to your PLC input and output cards as well as the power supply portion. To some extent, you will also generate a network overview drawing wihch shows how your PLC Devices are connected from a network perspective. EPLAN has several interfaces to different PLC systems. These interfaces allow the hardware designer to exchange bi-directionnaly the PLC data between EPLAN and your PLC System. Yes does definitely help if one understands the basics of PLC.
It's a great piece of software that lacks any support in terms of tutorials / educations. I've tried my best to find some valuable learning resources but they are very scarce. EPlan developers obviously don't care about training perspective users of their software - the official tutorial on Eplan Electric is utter rubbish.
can't get the Marco used by you... sir kindly provide link to download the macro I have search in project data-macro-navigator but it is empty...also search on internet but could not get the macro file used by you in the video...kindly help
When you install EPLAN, you get these templates as zw9 files, they changed the names on v2.9. Please contact your EPLAN rep in your they will tell you.
Templates are found in the template directory of EPLAN by default, you can create your own by starting with the closest one, modify projects properties and settings, add some report templates to pre-define your standard reports such as summarized parts list, connection lists, terminal diagrams, table of contents, title page, you may even create a standard distribution page with placeholders to select the right main disconnect, save your template now using menu Project - Organize - Create basic project or template project
Please cal your EPLAN tech support. Ideally, you should not create a new symbol, you should create a symbol macros as described in one of my videos. It insures you stay compatible for years. Symbol creation, I leave it up to EPLAN programmers.
A template should be in yoru template folder. If not, use the menu Synchronize system master data and this will restore all default installed files from EPLAN in all your master data folders (see user settings - management - directories) Master data is: templates, forms, symboles, plot frames, function definitions.
Hi, I deleted "ESS_Sample_Project.elk" file because I thought it was not important. So do any of you have any idea how to get it? I would really appreciate it.
Run the master data - synchronize system master data. You should find it one of the options you installed, I believe it is attached to the platform data.

Hi Roland, Thank for your tutorial, I have a suggestion, could you please speak slower to easier for the people, who have English no so good like me?
Noted
Good job! But where is the next part of this video? Thanks!
Pls help me should i watch the play list on its own sort? Because the first ones are for 9 y ago and the next ones for 7 y bot then again for 9 y

how come you draw everything in horizontal while in vertical is so much easier to have an overview

Is there any tutorial for :

I am using p8 2.6, I can't find any macros and devices that you have used in the video. Is there any way can I download macros and devices
The menu have been moved next to the macro navigator... check under Project data - macro - generate automatically...
I have just checked project data/macros but generate automatically and other obtion are not active, I can't click
It's a great piece of software that lacks any support in terms of tutorials / educations. I've tried my best to find some valuable learning resources but they are very scarce.

Thank you very much!!! good tutorial
can't get the Marco used by you...
sir kindly provide link to download the macro
I have search in project data-macro-navigator but it is empty...also search on internet but could not get the macro file used by you in the video...kindly help
When you come to Training in Canada, we are these macros. Come to one of our training.
je suis jeune étudiant est j'aimerais faire des études en tant qu'ingénieur voila merci à vous
than for information how i get EPLAN ???
www.eplancanada.com, look up the country nearest you and call them...
great tutorial but it stopped suddenly
hey guy
Im a beginner in this software

Wiemy, pomagamy :)
Hello, can you help me finding a Templet so I can continue my work, please? Thank You! :)
Templates are found in the template directory of EPLAN by default, you can create your own by starting with the closest one, modify projects properties and settings, add some report templates to pre-define your standard reports such as summarized parts list, connection lists, terminal diagrams, table of contents, title page, you may even create a standard distribution page with placeholders to select the right main disconnect, save your template now using menu Project - Organize - Create basic project or template project
Bro! i don't have Company name.
How do i do brother.
If you have no company name, just leave the "company name" or "Microsoft".
reinstall with a company name
Have a good day..
How to create new symbol?
Please cal your EPLAN tech support. Ideally, you should not create a new symbol, you should create a symbol macros as described in one of my videos. It insures you stay compatible for years. Symbol creation, I leave it up to EPLAN programmers.
I don't have Template. Please
How do i do ? T_T
A template should be in yoru template folder.

how i can download templates
several templates are included in the PELAN.
good job...good information..
Hi Sir, can you send to me some macros in your clip? thank you!
In our training here in Canada we share these macros. You may come to one of our trainings...
Helpfull :))
wow
Moving too fast I don't even understand even a word
Press the pause button... or come to one of my EPLAN trainings, we will show you to do it as fast.

Hi, I deleted "ESS_Sample_Project.elk" file because I thought it was not important. So do any of you have any idea how to get it? I would really appreciate it.
Run the master data - synchronize system master data. You should find it one of the options you installed, I believe it is attached to the platform data.
