Generate PLC schematics automatically 🦾. You should know this hidden function in EPLAN 💡

[@ctrlaltel]

Quick comment... It's easier to right-click and "Calculate pages" in the "Generate Schematics" dialog. It will generate the page names automatically, based on how much room the macro takes on the page.

Hi Kai
As usual, useful information.
I would like a video on drawing graphics. I mean:
e.g.
a)a straight line of definite length .(without having to go into properties) now, when specifying the length of the line, it turns out that it gives the angle that is to start.
b) use a mirror so that the line or graphics are also reflected. Currently, when I use a mirror, the object disappears .
Very useful for creating Panel Layout
Thank you

Hello,
what should be done if you also have a HMI? I am confused regarding slot/rack ID? Also when selecting PLC&cards and using "gen" search I cannot find generate schematic... Is it a license thing? I have a compact license.. Thank you for your videos.

Interesting video! Are you familiar with Preplaning? Can you make a video on how to use it?

Are these parts imported from data portal? And can we do the same for Other make PLC's?

Yes the data's are imported from DataPortal but you need to add Terminals Variant E as I show in the Video
