It also allows for consistent electrical project data exchange with PLC programming software products. PLC/bus topology managementEPLAN Electric P8 v1.8 features a completely revamped PLC/bus topology management capability for centrally processing the automation components of a project in a simple and organized fashion. Once again, the software intuitively updates the new information in real time, thereby ensuring data accuracy and consistency throughout the entire project. For example, the user has the flexibility to modify the part number of a limit switch directly on the bill of materials or edit terminal numbers right on the terminal diagram. And it gets even better: With EPLAN Electric P8 v1.8, modifications can also be executed in the overall project reports.

Naturally, changes made using the in-place editing feature are automatically updated online wherever the same information is referenced in the project. Commenting on the importance of this release, ARC Advisory Group Vice President Jim Caie says: 'The additional features EPLAN has incorporated into their already leading edge EPLAN Electric P8 product will save users significant engineering time and help them generate even more robust designs.' Users can now benefit from the following enhancements: Bi-directional in-place text editing between schematics and reportsEPLAN Electric P8 v1.8 includes a direct editing function allowing the users to edit properties such as device tags and function texts directly where they are displayed in the wiring diagrams without having to call up a device dialog box. EPLAN Electric P8 v1.8 will enable electrical designers to create and manage controls hardware schematics with greater speed, ease and accuracy than ever before. Version 1.8 inproves the speed and flexibility for generating comprehensive wiring diagrams complete with all associated reports.
