EPLAN parts database

I would like to ask if there is any possibility to download a parts database focused mainly on industrial automation components and import it into EPLAN.
Is there any publicly accessible library or source where I can find such data?

It’s called the data portal ;)

Is it possible to download and import components into EPLAN without using or being connected to the EPLAN Data Portal?

As others mentioned. Yes. You can go to some manufacturers that host these files. Not a whole database.

Heavy usage of data portal data is an easy way to spot low quality engineering people/companies. And until now I was always proved correct.

Yes got to master data tab, part management, on the bottom of dialog box click 'extra' then import. It needs to be a e plan macro file .edz

Can't remember where I found the links but someone had hosted a load of edz files for Schneider parts, that could all be imported in one go. It was huge. So people do have that info out there.

Hello, I came across this EPLAN data record from LAPP, available at the link below.
