With EPLAN Version 2.5, users can work on macros in a tree diagram or within a table with multiple selections. Users can revise project areas such as functional structures, location definitions and disciplines independently, meaning that changes remain transparent throughout the entire process and for all project participants at all times. Version 2.5 of the EPLAN Platform now offers page- and area-specific revision management. With the EPLAN Data Portal Web service built into the EPLAN Platform, users can access device data from numerous component manufacturers and drag and drop the data into their EPLAN documents. The EPLAN Solutions Suite includes applications for control cabinet and switchgear engineering, electrical engineering, fluid power engineering, mechatronics and PCT engineering as well as applications for engineering configuration and ERP/PDM integration. It provides all the applications with the same basic data and functions as well as eliminates manual data reconciliation, which improves project quality and accelerates engineering processes, according to the company. The EPLAN Platform connects EPLAN solutions to one another. EPLAN also announced major enhancements in version 2.5 of the EPLAN Harness proD application for the 3D design and documentation of wire harnesses and for nailboard design.

Additionally, the company has expanded the terminal editor and streamlined cable planning for machines and plants with the FieldSys module in version 2.5 of the EPLAN Electric P8 electrical planning and engineering application. Key enhancements in version 2.5, according to the company, include faster template creation, simplified standardization and a new navigator functionality that facilitates the creation and editing of electrical and fluid power engineering macros. EPLAN Software & Services LLC has launched version 2.5 of its EPLAN Platform technology and associated applications.
