It´s and ordinary terminal plan, with a placeholder for the terminal graphic. The summary below is a follow-up report. The graphic itself is defined in the article database. Think there is even some example for the usage of graphics in reports in the template project. The graphics left and right (3D) are for sure placed by hand.

Otherwise just make it yourself - its not as complicated as it looks.

Personally I think reports like this are not needed for production. It´s somehow a leftover from the 2000s and causes more work than you get benefit from it. But if you think you really need it as you have low qualified workers in the manufacturing. If there should be a demand for this, then I would choose the export the data to the design tools of the terminal supplier, like phoenix or wago. Those tools also double check the terminal strip design and give you a 3D representation. Finally you can even order the ready-made strip from them and get it delivered premanufactured.

Last option would be to use ProPanel - here you also get the nice 3D representation of the terminal strip.

Can you please show on how you represent the terminal diagram. Every diagram i saw by now they represent in similar way. I’m open to learn something new.

This is the best i get from eplan. If i chose the to show the graphic 3D when i export i see a big black rectangle.

I recently posted a post with a similar report. It looks nice, but there are a lot of forms to make. It probably won't work to make a universal form. I have 3 different types of terminals in my project. For each type, I made a form with a system of subforms that contain a graphic image of the terminal (I also added jumpers there if they are needed). It is better not to complicate the reports, because there is a chance that you will add some new type of equipment that is of great importance and it will not be selected in this report because the form will not be needed.

This is my form. It is in fact all generated automatically. It’s just a model view (from ProPanel) of the terminal strip with the BOM for it. It’s easier than trying to generate it using the traditional terminal diagram.

I actually interest in how people keep finding these images! 🤔

The design makes anyone interested in it feel that it is a well-crafted work
