Tuesday, May 21, 2013: Based on the motto of “Integrated Industry”, the new version of the Eplan Engineering Center One (EEC One) is not only the individual discipline specialist combined to produce an overall solution. EEC One now has multi-lingual functionality to lift national barriers, thus ensur-ing improved interaction for automation on an interna-tional stage. Customers use the software to generate schematics and fluid plans automatically – now in Russian or Chinese too.
The key elements of this new development are even deeper integration into the Eplan Platform and increased international orientation with four additional software languages. The existing integration with support for value sets, variants and script technology has also been extended. In future, users will be able to access the parts database in the Eplan Platform directly from EEC One. Selected parts and their properties are adopted directly in EEC One and can be used for further automation purposes. The benefits are clear: Increased levels of automation for schematic production, reduced manual input and lower error levels, plus optimised, user-friendly operation. Of course, the new version supports the current Eplan Platform 2.2.
Automation with compliant representation
Companies active in the US American market need to con-figure their systems and plants not only in compliance with IEC standards, they also need effective mastery of ladder technology. The new version of the EEC One generates schematics to this typically American standard. Simple switching between IEC and ladder views is also a bonus. Depending on the setting in EEC one, plans are generated automatically either to the IEC standard or based on ladder technology. The real practical benefit: different target mar-kets can be served from a single data source.
Multi-talented – now in 6 languages
With four new languages (French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese), the EEC One is now all set for the global market.In conjunction with the Eplan Platform, configuration engi-neers can now generate projects automatically in their own language. The advantage: Language barriers are removed and the degree of efficiency of software use increases. Inter-national companies with cross-border locations will appreci-ate the new move – the Eplan Engineering Center One (EEC One) has already established itself in Germany and English-speaking countries within the space of a year.
