New development: Eplan Cogineer Easily automating engineering

Automatically creating schematics is now child’s play. Solutions provider Eplan presents a brand new software for efficient configuration at the Hannover Messe, ensuring both a quick start using the soft-ware and impressive results, all with just a few clicks. Eplan Cogineer, which is completely inte-grated into the Eplan Platform, offers ease of use and maximum simplicity. Expert knowledge about configuration or variant management isn’t required – just standard knowledge of how to use macros.

Monheim, Germany, 15 March 2017 – Eplan Cogineer, an innovative new development to automatically generate schematics, will be celebrating its premiere in Hanover. Senior Vice President of Product Management and Development Dieter Pesch explains: “We’ve developed a solution that is easy to use and yet very innovative as regards functionality.” A mechatronic rulebook and configuration interfaces can be put together intuitively and quickly without knowledge of any high-level programming languages. Advantageous for users: experience with the use of macros suffices. And it’s the macros that serve as the basis for creating the sets of rules. It doesn’t matter if schematics are generated based on the functional structures or from the system-specific perspective. Eplan Cogineer meets every user exactly wherever he or she is right now and requires no changes to how they do engineering. The results are persuasive: a flexible solution for everyone that is enjoyable to use and saves both time and money. “One hundred per cent data continuity from design to construction allows Eplan Cogineer users to precisely process customer projects in this area without delay,” Pesch adds. “And it does this completely independently of the people involved in the process.” Eplan Cogineer’s essential features are clear time savings due to automatic schematic generation while increasing quality through error avoidance.

More efficiency and higher quality

Eplan Cogineer can generate complete electrotechnical documentation with just one click. This results in two crucial advantages. First, it ensures the error-free implementation of the defined rules and structures, thus guaranteeing high quality documentation. Second, substantially more projects can be developed in the same amount of time than was the case with the copying and pasting of pages and macros. Eplan Cogineer offers absolute data continuity from product structuring through to the specific project implementation and supports compliance with norms and standards. This ensures the greatest possible precision and maximum efficiency. The first project can be generated within just a short period of time thanks in part to the intuitive user interface.

“Learning by doing” is the maxim for users. Eplan Cogineer is designed to be an easily deployable tool for occasional users and power users alike, allowing them to configure projects and generate projects in Eplan Electric P8. It doesn’t matter whether machines or plants have already been structured according to functional aspects or to a system-specific perspective. The new solution takes a scalable configuration approach to the chosen working methods, too: a mix of traditional working methods and configurations – for instance with manual and configurable subprojects – can be combined as needed.
