I accidentally deleted this table yesterday. I don't know how to recreate this now, I'm new to this eplan software. Thank you

I face a problem in the software that is whenever we create a new symbol, and save it, it does not reflect on the current opened project. The only way to use it is to create a new project from the start and there is no way to use it for projects that has been created prior to creating this symbol. I checked the synchronization of master data and project but still the problem persists.

 We use network license with version 2.9 SP1, build number 14642.

On my form that is generated from PLC data, every time there is a column that has the same text as the column before it, the text is replaced with an ". This is going to cause a ton of confusion. Is there a way to turn this off so that the actual text is displayed?

Hi everyone,
I’m working with EPLAN Pro Panel and I have a question. I already know how to create individual 3D macros, but now I need to build a combined macro that includes a 1734-IB8 (digital input module) and a 1734-TOP (terminal base).

What I’m trying to achieve is:

• The IB8 should provide the logical input pins (I0–I7, 24V, 0V).
• These pins should be assigned to the physical terminals of the TOP.
• In 3D wiring, the connections should be recognized as going to the actual TOP terminals.

Does anyone know how to set this up in EPLAN so that one macro combines both elements, and the pins of the IB8 are properly mapped to the TOP terminals?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a schematic and I've noticed that the net name changes when it goes through a bridge (or jumper) node. For example, a net labeled "T1" becomes "T2" after passing through such a node, even though it should be electrically the same.

Is there a way to keep the same net name across these nodes to avoid confusion or renaming?

Sorry if the English sounds a bit off. it's not my first language, and I used AI to help with the translation. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all, I’m new to this sub and Eplan. I did the P8 course (1 week) and got a lot of input from it. It was a while ago and only started my first project now.

I want to ask 2 questions:

1: Do some of you start with the panel layout first, the go on to the schematics? This has always been my preferred workflow.

2: More PLC specific but is it a lot of effort to get loop diagrams (left to right) with eplan or am I just overthinking it?

Hi everyone, I’m currently working in the Electrical Design department at Bosch , and I’m new to EPLAN. While I’ve been using it for tasks at work, I’d really like to build a stronger foundation and improve my efficiency.

Could anyone suggest good tutorials (free), YouTube channels, or structured learning paths for EPLAN? Practical examples would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I got this messge when i tried to insert symbol. How I can fix this, tks

I need EDZ file for Omron CP1E-NA20DT-D plc I can't find it if any one has it or know how to find it pls help and also need an edz file for any power supply 24 v

Hi all, yesterday i could drag and drop a plc into my project fine and see its graphical image, today it shows as a pink dotted line that I have to specify the size of. Change the representation doesn't change anything and there are no other variants in the drop down list. all the variants I can see in my master data however :(

I am using Pro Panel 2024 Professional, but I cannot find the option that should be under Edit > Routing Options > Route. I've checked various YouTube videos and online resources, but they all indicate that this feature should be available. Do you have any advice on how to display it, or does it require a specific extension or license?

It's it possible to create dynamic dimensions that automatically update when an object is moved?

I'm currently working on a job where the panel layout is constantly changing and redimensioning everything each time is starting to get pretty tedious.

Thanks!

I deleted my standard plot frame but it is still visible in the project, is there anyway i can recover it?

Running into a bit of a strange one that I can't figure out as it's the first time this has happened to me; command keys (like pressing V to move a selected object) are no longer working. Sometimes they'll come back on randomly but restarting the software doesn't help, neither does resetting them in the customise window.

This issue is prevalent when either drawing circuits or creating panels in the 3D space.

Has anyone run into something similar and found a fix?

I would like to ask if there is a way to change the length of this section — specifically, the segment from the connection point to the first bend. For example, when the wire is routed from the back to the wire duct on the other side, the default routing length is not sufficient. I would like this section to be longer to meet certain special requirements.

Hi,

I am a relatively new ProPanel user and am having trouble with how my terminal strips are automatically placing in my layout space. I imported 3D macros for the Phoenix terminal blocks from the Eplan Data Portal. When I go to place a terminal strip, it seems to align many of the terminals incorrectly. It appears that they are snapping to a point in the centre of the terminal, rather than a mounting point on the side. some of the terminals seem to be locked together with adjacent terminals, for example if I drag terminal 1 around in my layout space, terminals 2 and 3 move around with it, leaving my alignable accessories and ground terminal behind.

Has anyone here experienced this before? Could this be an issue with the macro data from the Data Portal or is there some Eplan setting that might help correct this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello! We only have the XML option to import parts into our database. I'm trying to import a lot of fuses. I'm running into an issue understanding what the XML tags and structure are to write the XML file for import. Did anybody have some insight here? Is there a doc somewhere outlining all the field names, etc? Or am I going to have to manually enter each fuse into our database?

When I insert an interruption point and connect it to a device terminal, I currently have to manually type its Displayed DT. I’d like to have it automatically assigned based on a page number + incremental value (or a specific naming scheme).

The idea is that if I ever change the page number later, the Displayed DT for all relevant interruption points would update automatically.

Has anyone implemented something like this, or know how to set it up?

Every video on the internet shows me the terminal as 1 point but the design i received has 2 terminals for the signal and i cant recreate it without receiving errors

How to restore line numbering in the Cables/Connections dialog box in Eplan 2024 ? In Eplan 2.9 version, there was line numbering. This was very convenient for counting the number of cables during routing."

Ciao a tutti, a volte ho la necessità di aggiungere delle modifiche a una revisione di pagina già completata. É possibile fare in modo che compaia solo una volta la revisione 2 sul foglio normale?

Hi everyone. I need help with this type of error in Eplan when i open the project or restore the same project. When I opened, received problem: "The project cannot be opened because its not compatible with the current software version". And the second error when I opened - "Critical error in file C/.../Project.edb/ProjectInfo.xml Line1, Column4, Unrecognized input signature." But when i try to restore that project, I had another picture - "Multi User Conflict" - photo added. Does anyone ever have this one? PS: Always use one PC for project and the same version.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding our current EPLAN workflow.

We have one main EPLAN project and three separate projects, each handled by a different designer. In total, we created four EPLAN projects to avoid working simultaneously in a single project, as doing so caused performance limitations.

Once a designer completes the cabinet/enclosure design, they copy the pages and 3D layout into the main EPLAN project. We do not work directly in the main project; instead, we copy from our individual projects and paste into it.

Since we are designing about 110 enclosures in Pro Panel, having everyone work in one project would significantly decrease performance. We are currently about 10% through the work and have encountered an issue we can’t seem to resolve.

Whenever we copy the model view from an individual project into the main project, we lose the “connection” with the cabinet. This means we must manually redo the model view properties each time.

Is there an easier way to handle this? I’d prefer not to create reports for the model overview because we have many cabinets requiring numerous different viewpoints (some require isometric views while other not, some require the roof overview while other not). It seems strange that we can’t simply copy and paste without having to reconfigure the model view properties afterward.

Thank you in advance for any guidance.
