Once again, the software intuitively updates the new information in real time, thereby ensuring data accuracy and consistency throughout the entire project. For example, the user has the flexibility to modify the part number of a limit switch directly on the bill of materials or edit terminal numbers right on the terminal diagram. And it gets even better: With EPLAN Electric P8 v1.8, modifications can also be executed in the overall project reports. Naturally, changes made using the in-place editing feature are automatically updated online wherever the same information is referenced in the project. Commenting on the importance of this release, ARC Advisory Group Vice President Jim Caie says: "The additional features EPLAN has incorporated into their already leading edge EPLAN Electric P8 product will save users significant engineering time and help them generate even more robust designs." Users can now benefit from the following enhancements: Bi-directional in-place text editing between schematics and reportsEPLAN Electric P8 v1.8 includes a direct editing function allowing the users to edit properties such as device tags and function texts directly where they are displayed in the wiring diagrams without having to call up a device dialog box.
EPLAN Electric P8 v1.8 will enable electrical designers to create and manage controls hardware schematics with greater speed, ease and accuracy than ever before. Version 1.8 inproves the speed and flexibility for generating comprehensive wiring diagrams complete with all associated reports.

Bus data are no longer deleted when changing the representation type. This allows bus data to be input into the schematic and displayed without a single-line representation being specified. What’s now available to users in the properties dialogue for bus connections is the “Bus data” tab for all representation types. If an individual bus port is assigned to another configuration project, this value can then be manually changed, all of which provides more flexibility in engineering.ĮPLAN Electric P8 users could previously only input bus data for single-line network/bus wiring cable connections. Potentially existing bus port entries are hereby updated. With a new menu item, users can now transfer configuration projects-for instance the data for a PLC box-to the corresponding bus ports, eliminating the time-consuming task of manually inputting the data for each individual port. All devices selected in the appropriate context menu are then assigned to the marked terminal strip. In the “Edit terminal strip” dialogue, users will soon be able to assign several alignable accessories at the same time. In Nuremburg, users can discover how the AutomationML format more effectively supports round-trip engineering, which optimizes the configuration of PLC data. The first step includes improvements in the bidirectional interaction between EPLAN and TIA Portal. Individual systems such as EPLAN Electric P8 are showcasing new features. Offering comprehensive information, it includes tips and tricks that make users’ everyday work easier, as well as news and innovations from the EPLAN product portfolio, tutorials, details about training opportunities and more. A new portal directly integrated into the software solution welcomes users upon start-up. A new graphical user interface, increased ergonomics and enhanced macro technology are all hallmarks of the new EPLAN Platform, Version 2.8.
