Miscellaneous
This document describes the process of creating parts data in EPLAN Parts
management from the viewpoint of EPLAN Pro Panel Professional.
We distinguish between pure mechanical item types like wire ducts, mounting rails,
or enclosures and the parts for electrical and fluid power engineering. Only the part
properties of electrical / fluid power parts that affect installation in the enclosure or
the routing of connections need to be considered.
In addition, we will elaborate on differences that are important to existing EPLAN
Cabinet users.
3 / 56
Creating a part
The prerequisite for using a part in EPLAN Pro Panel is that the part is set up in the
respective EPLAN parts database.
Start Parts management.

All kinds of parts and data groups are maintained in the parts database:
 Electrical engineering parts

 Fluid power parts
 Mechanical parts
 Process engineering parts
 Accessory lists
 Accessory placements
 Drilling patterns
 Connection point patterns
 Customers
 Manufacturers / suppliers
4 / 56
The data needed for a part are first and foremost dependent on the chosen generic
product group, product group, and product subgroup.
To say it more simply: A contactor has different properties than a wire duct.
The following will only describe the data necessary for EPLAN Pro Panel for the
various part types.
Electrical / fluid power / process engineering parts

The following properties should be included for practical use of a part in EPLAN Pro
Panel:
"General" tab
Generic product
group
Product group
Product subgroup
You can select a group from preset entries in these fields. Depending on the
options selected under "[Extras] > Settings" for the tree view, the parts are
resorted in the tree according to the changes made in the product group.
Part number
The part number identifies the part, meaning, part numbers may only be used
once per hierarchical level. In the case of part variants, the combination of part
and variant number is the identifier. When saving parts or variants, this is
automatically selected.
Type number
In contrast to the part number, the type number, particularly for cables, is not
unique. The entry here should correspond to data from the manufacturer's
catalog as much as possible.
5 / 56
Designation1
Additional specifications can be made for the part in these fields, also
corresponding to the data in the manufacturer's catalog for instance.
Manufacturer
In this field you can use [...] to select the corresponding short and long names.
It is also possible to enter the short name directly, but the field for the long
name cannot be edited.
Supplier
In this field you can use [...] to select the corresponding short and long names.
It is also possible to enter the short name directly, but the field for the long
name cannot be edited.

Order number
Enter the order number for the part here, if possible, with the information
according to the manufacturer's catalog data.
Note:
Only the fields used by Pro Panel will be described in this document.
When using EPLAN Electric P8 you should make an entry in all the fields of course.
Note for existing EPLAN Cabinet users:

Parts data can continue to be used without modifications.
"Mounting data" tab
Width
Height
Depth
These fields are for input of item specific dimensions.

If you are not entering a macro for this part in EPLAN Pro Panel, these
dimension fields must be completed.
External placement Check this check box if the part should be labeled as "externally placed" and
thus excluded from evaluation in panel layout (e.g., motors or generators).
Parts marked this way will not be placed in the tree view and can be filtered out
of the 3D mounting layout navigator.
6 / 56
Graphical macro
Store the 3D macro in this field.
This will be an EPLAN macro with the representation type "3D mounting layout“.
Center offset
The default in EPLAN Pro Panel is to place a device in the center of a mounting

rail (except when a graphical macro is used).
With this parameter you can control placing the mounting rail in a position other
than the center.
Positive or negative values may be entered.
Clip-on height
The clip-on height describes the position in the side view or from the top /
bottom. The item is automatically placed on the rail to the correct mounting
depth, when it is placed on a mounting rail. If the rail is replaced, the height of
the item will move as well. The item is thus aligned above the top edge on the
base of the value entered here, rather than on the underside of the rail.
Cabinet graphical
macro
In Pro Panel this field is only used for bitmaps which are placed on the front side
of the part if no graphical macro is used.
Store the macro for EPLAN Cabinet here. This does not affect Pro Panel.
7 / 56
Mounting clearance
width left / right
Mounting clearance
height above /
below
Mounting clearance
depth front / rear
You can define a safety region for placement of the items with the Mounting
clearance. EPLAN Pro Panel will consider these clearances automatically during
placement. Infringement on the mounting clearances are checked during the
check run. Plus, you can select an optical display of the mounting clearances.
Note to existing EPLAN Cabinet users:

The "Cabinet graphical macro" field is not in use in Pro Panel.
After the data import of the Cabinet graphical macros and their conversion into EPLAN macros, these
newly created EPLAN macros must be entered into the "Graphical macro" field.
"Technical data" tab
Macro
Store the 2D macro or a macro of other representation types in this field (multi-
line, overview, etc.).
Note:
To achieve optimal work performance with the EPLAN platform, you should not
save 2D and 3D data together in one macro file, but always in separate macro
files. This way you can ensure that 2D users do not have to access the
extensive 3D data volume unnecessarily.
We recommend that you store the macro file with the 3D data and the "3D
mounting layout" representation type in Parts management on the Mounting data
tab in the Graphical macro field. The macro file with the 2D data and the other
representation types (Multi-line, Overview, etc.) should be entered, as before, in
the Technical data tab of Parts management in the Macro field. The files could
be distinguished, for example, on the basis of name extensions (e.g. 3D macro
ABC.12345_3D.ema and the corresponding 2D macro ABC.12345_2D.ema).
In all actions in the 3D environment for which a part macro is used (e.g., Insert
devices), the "Graphical part macro" is always checked first. If on the Mounting
data tab a graphical macro has been entered for the part, and if it contains the
desired "3D mounting layout" representation type, this macro will be used. If this
is not the case, the "Technical part macro" defined on the Technical data tab will
be used.
8 / 56
Connection point
pattern
You can assign a connection point pattern already set up in Parts management
for the item in this field. A connection point is the definition of geometric contact
data for the automatic wiring in Pro Panel.
Detailed information for setting up a connection point pattern may be found in a

separate chapter of this document.

"Manufacturing" tab
Drilling patterns

Define the assignment of one or more drilling patterns to a part in this table.
You can change the position of a drilling pattern in relation to the part's
origin/zero point by using the "Offset direction X" and "Offset direction Y".
The drilling pattern in line 1 is the standard drilling pattern and will initially be
used during placement of the part in the tree view. The drilling pattern may be
exchanged as needed at the part placement in the part reference data, if more
than one drilling pattern has been stored at the part.
Detailed information for setting up a drilling pattern may be found in a separate
chapter of this document.
Preview The drilling pattern including the part will be shown, if you activate the checkbox
and the graphical preview is selected open.
Click the desired table cell to go there.

9 / 56
Wires
Parts for wires are used during wiring in EPLAN Pro Panel.
These wire parts are assigned to the connection points that are to be routed in the
layout space.
The following properties should be included as a minimum for practical use of a part
in EPLAN Pro Panel:
"General" tab

Profile horizontal:
Height
If a profile frame (e.g. TS8) is given in an enclosure, then that value
determines the height of the horizontal profiles.
Profile horizontal: Depth
If a profile frame (e.g. TS8) is given in an enclosure, then that value

determines the depth of the horizontal profiles.

Profile vertical: Width
If a profile frame is assigned to an enclosure (e.g. TS8), then this value

determines the width of the vertical profiles.

In Pro Panel you have the option of placing the mounting rails directly in the macro. The entries of the
"Mounting rails" tab will then remain blank.

fastened immovably to the superior item" and "Suppress in device tag list (if filtered)" at the mounting
rail.

Item
49 / 56
Busbar adapters were always placed centered on the busbar system in EPLAN Cabinet. This resulted
in the limitation that a graphical macro really could only be created fitting for one rail size at a time.
This characteristic was changed. You can now place the adapters at the upper edge of the upper pole.
This should be considered when creating a 3D macro.
You can continue to use a centered placement so that an existing EPLAN Cabinet user will not have
to adapt all graphical macros again. But the new technology should be adopted when new 3D macros
for busbar adapters are created.
