Course content

1 section11 lectures2h 10m total length
  • Introduction to the course3:03

    Learn advanced PLC part creation in Eplan, including overview macro and multi-line schematic macro. Generate 3D macros, navigate PLC and devices navigators, insert parts into the database, and export labels.

  • Creating the macro project and structuring.7:50

    Create and structure a macro project in eplan by naming plc project, setting storage location, switch to macro to define function designation, installation site, pages for power, digital inputs, outputs.

  • Importing and defining the project Plot Frame2:57

    Import and define the project plot frame, standardizing it with hidden lines, set the plot frame directory, apply it to all sheets, and identify rows, columns, and writing lines.

  • Creating the PLC overview sheet.20:38

    Create the PLC overview sheet by building the PLC box, labeling the device, inserting pins for 14 digital inputs and 10 outputs, and configuring their properties and cross references.

  • Creating the PLC multi-line scheme. (1 )7:30

    Create the first PLC schematic by importing a dxf file, setting the power supply pins and contact points (normal and closed), and inserting the PLC box with correct connections.

  • Creating the PLC multi-line scheme. (2)14:52

    Create a plc multi-line scheme by updating connections, inserting a plc box for input pins, and dragging pins into a macro box within a multi-line diagram.

  • Reviewing important points and using the command to create the part6:36

    Create and save a PLC part in the database by ungrouping power pins, copying and pasting, adjusting representations, grouping sections, and generating the part for revision and main function checks.

  • Creating the overview and multi-line Macros8:15

    Create overview and electrocardiogram macros in Eplan Electric P8, insert macro boxes across navigators, adjust grid, save macros with consistent naming, and configure Schneider Electric PLC macro in device management.

  • Creating the 3D Macro.6:54

    Create and insert a 3d macro for the plc in Eplan by importing layout space, defining placement, and saving the macro. Synchronize parts data and test in a new layout.

  • Testing the PLC in a schematic project.31:29

    Test a plc within a schematic project by creating a test plc, configuring overview, power supply, and digital input/output pages, and wiring via the plc navigator and devices navigator.

  • Bonus class! Importing settings and forms.20:22

    Learn to import settings and forms in Eplan Electric P8 and Propanel, customize templates, create cable device numbering patterns, and export settings to Excel or text files.

Requirements

  • Beginner's knowledge is necessary because we will go into advanced concepts in detail.

Description

This course covers a comprehensive approach to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) projects development using EPLAN software. With a focus on standardization and efficiency, participants will learn to utilize macro schemes to streamline the project creation process, ensuring a consistent and high-quality methodology.

Throughout the course, participants will be guided from the basic concepts of industrial automation to advanced techniques for standardization and optimization of PLC projects. The classes will be taught by experienced industry instructors with extensive practical knowledge and technical skills in automation projects.

The course is divided into carefully structured modules, starting with a comprehensive introduction to EPLAN and PLCs, followed by an exploration of the fundamentals of standardization in automation projects. Participants will learn to create and utilize macro schemes in EPLAN to simplify and expedite the project development process, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.

Additionally, advanced strategies will be discussed to ensure the consistency and quality of projects, including the integration of best practices in real-world automation projects. Case studies and practical examples will be presented to illustrate the application of discussed concepts in real-world situations.

By the end of the course, participants will be empowered to apply the acquired knowledge in their own automation projects, contributing to the improvement of efficiency and quality in industrial operations.

Who this course is for:

  • Design engineers and anyone who works in the electrical sector and wants to develop their knowledge in EPLAN.
