Standardise electrical engineering documentation
EPLAN simplifies collaboration with your suppliers
If the electrical engineering documentation is well structured, it simplifies things for everyone. As a system integrator, you can more easily check the schematics from your suppliers. In addition to this, wiring can be accomplished in no time at all. Plant operators benefit because the electrical engineering documentation you supply is a dependable source of information for system maintenance and servicing. EPLAN supports you with standardisation in engineering.

Nobody wants chaos: Supplier guidelines bring structure to your electrical engineering documentation
When different suppliers are responsible for the necessary plant subsystems, the acceptance process can become chaotic. Each provides their documentation in a different data format or send a paper print out.
Supplier guidelines help standardise the electrical engineering documentation. This makes it easier for you as a system integrator to merge all the subprojects into an overall project and makes checking all the contents even easier.
Your customer hasn’t given you its own supplier guidelines? Then you can take care of it. We support you in this, from system and layout guidelines to design specifications.
Thanks to EPLAN you can use templates, define data and standardise schematic creation to achieve great things
How can you increase the reliability of your electrical engineering documentation? If you and your suppliers use EPLAN as the software for schematic creation, then you have already laid the foundation for reliable electrical engineering documentation in plant system engineering. If you then standardise your schematic creation, the full potential of EPLAN starts to unfold.
Practical tips: Easy standardisation steps for your schematic creation
- EPLAN Templates: Use templates for projects, data sheets and more
- Uniform labelling: Use reference labels in accordance with common standards including IEC and NFPA
- Create libraries: Clearly define recurring elements in schematics
- EPLAN Dictionary: Maintain keywords for translating texts for projects and devices
⇒ Standardise and accelerate schematic creation
⇒ Increase reliability through standardisation
Development that quickly pays off: Standardise once and save time over the long term
- Increase the depth of data: Augment schematics with important technical details
- Improve the project foundation: Use current standards and norms
- Expand libraries: Systematically create schematics templates, subcircuits and macros to reap the benefits across different project teams
- Complete documentation: Derived in accordance with individual customer guidelines
⇒ Automatic evaluations: Derive bills of materials, terminal diagrams, wiring plans and more
⇒ Re-use subcircuits
⇒ Simple testing of all subprojects and trouble-free acceptance processes and customer agreements

EPLAN in Practice
Use EPLAN to standardise your electrical engineering documentation and comply with IEC standards
EPLAN creates the foundation to easily standardise electrical designs. To achieve this, EPLAN provides templates that have already been standardised to comply with applicable standards such as IEC and DIN. Furthermore, EPLAN develops standards for you that facilitate the use of applicable standards in system integration.
Templates can help standardise the creation of schematics
The EPLAN Engineering Standard supports you in creating your first projects. You can use project templates and schematic examples directly as the foundation for your projects.
High-quality component data
The EPLAN Data Portal provides you with component data from hundreds of manufacturers for your project planning and designs. Take advantage of millions of data sets that meet the EPLAN Data Standards quality criteria and are continually being expanded.
Complementary solutions for current data and easy collaboration
EPLAN offers complementary software solutions that allow you to make the current status of your project centrally available to everyone involved in it. This lets you easily share work templates and recurring subprojects and simplifies coordination and collaboration.
Standard-compliant designs in accordance with IEC, NFPA and GB
Create schematics, project documentation and symbols in accordance with globally applicable standards. The latest EPLAN software supports you with this. EPLAN also takes local norms into account, including IEC for Europe, NFPA for the US and GB for China.
