What you'll learn

  • To work with Layer Management in EPLAN (to see what layers in EPLAN can do for us)
  • To manage symbols and symbol libraries in EPLAN (create, adjust, new variant, import/export, delete etc.)
  • To work with the data within EPLAN project more effectively (Navigators, Edit in Table, Edit Properties Externally)
  • To tag a cable according to special requiremet from some customers (special case)
  • To graphically represent a phase reversal in the circuit diagram (required for some actuators like pumps)
  • To graphically represent spare cable cores (2 most common ways in the practice)

Course content

4 sections • 11 lectures • 1h 3m total length

  • New custom symbol in an existing symbol library (IEC_Symbol)14:34
  • New symbol library and new symbol in this library5:07

    Create a new symbol library, define symbol with variant a using a protection device circuit breaker as a base, and exchange symbols between libraries in EPLAN.

  • New variant of a symbol1:27
  • Import / Export symbols (Symbol exchange between symbol libraries)3:51
  • Remove a symbol from a symbol library (not intuitive)0:57

    Delete the symbol from a symbol library after exporting and importing it, by removing the valve symbol from the EPLAN default library and then from the IEC symbol library.

  • Most important tip when working with custom symbol libraries2:48

Dear Student,


I welcome you to, according to my opinion, the intermediate course on EPLAN Electric P8.

In this short but intense course we are going to cover the following sections / function in EPLAN:

  • Symbols and symbol libraries - masterclass - everything you need to know about custom symbols in EPLAN

  • Layer management in EPLAN - what layers in EPLAN can do for us in the real-world

  • How to be more effective when working in EPLAN

  • Bonus lecture - very interesting way to tag cables (a requirement from some customers in the real-world)

This is going to be one of my last courses on EPLAN Electric P8. I might do another one and for that one I will ask for a feedback from you, my students, to tell me which are the things you would like me to cover in the last one.

After EPLAN courses I will concentrate more on electrical design, with examples of projects I have worked on so far.

To help you master electrical design on a professional level so that you can consider a career in this field of electrical engineering.


I hope you will find my course valuable and fun and I wish you a great success in mastering EPLAN and electrical design!


Also please don't forget to rate my course and leave a short review. I thank you for that in advance.


Your Instructor for Electrical Design,

Ivan
