Description du logiciel Electric P8
EPLAN Electric P8 is an electrical design solution which supports 2D computer aided engineering for the creation of schematics and circuit diagrams. The software supports a variety of engineering methods including manual creation, template-based and standardized approaches. Electric P8 automatically generates detailed evaluations as a component of project documentation, with options for ongoing or post-completion combined evaluation as required.
EPLAN Electric P8 allows users to choose between design approaches including graphical, logical, and device-oriented to support their different work processes. Autoconnecting enables instant logical connection of circuit symbols to increase the speed and quality of schematic design, and up to 26 variants of a system or circuit can be saved for each of the 12 representation types. Reports including terminal and wire diagrams, and bills of materials (BOM) are automatically created for use in downstream project phases. Users can also edit mass data with the “Search and Replace” and “Edit in Excel” functions, and generate schematics in multiple languages with support for global design standards.

ePlan opinion
With this software I spend less time for doing my job.
Vastly increased productivity
We've seen improvements in time-to-produce schematics.
Features I like
Not happy. Consider it a waste of money
Opportunity for a fresh start
It took several months but now the automation features are working for me instead of against me.
Powerful, expensive
EPLAN definitely eases the process of reusing designs. Copying completed designs into new projects is easier.

ePlan opinion
Avantages
This software allows you to create electric schemes easilier than others. Moreover, you can create your own data base with differents articles for making the purchase list automatically.
Inconvénients
You must to have enough knowledges about this special field for knowing how does it works and not makes mistakes.
Vastly increased productivity
We've seen improvements in time-to-produce schematics.
Avantages
My first engineer who we got using ePLAN came from a company with exclusively used AutoCAD Electrical. Within a couple of months, the engineer feels they can work 2-3x faster in ePLAN, access to the parts portal is a massive saving for us, as new products are generally available from the parts portal and do not require us to create a new intelliegent block.
Inconvénients
It feels like there are a lot of "options" which come at a great cost. Full migration to use ePLAN is going to take us multiple years due to the software investment.

Avantages
The one benefit I like is the parts database. Panel layout is a challenge.
Inconvénients
The software is extremely difficult to use and there is no clear documentation explaining the features and methods to setup the software to make it easier to use. Symbols are not correct for NFPA standards and I need to modify them constantly. Parts downloaded from Data Portal do not always have the correct macro or symbol associated with it. There does not seem to be a standard for the symbols regarding size and functions. All symbols seem to be based on IEC which does not work well for NFPA projects.

Hi Kenni, Proper training is key to using EPLAN effectively, and would directly address much of the frustration you are having with symbols. Our Data Portal contains over 950,000 parts from 300 manufacturers, and is constantly improving in size and quality. Give me a call if you'd like to chat. -Shawn O.
Opportunity for a fresh start
It took several months but now the automation features are working for me instead of against me.
Avantages
The Data Portal integration and library of manufacturer provided macros.
Inconvénients
The learning curve is steep and there are many options that are not well documented.
Powerful, expensive
EPLAN definitely eases the process of reusing designs. Copying completed designs into new projects is easier.
Avantages
1. Getting data exported out to Excel is easy and powerful. We create different types of reports for ordering parts, labeling parts and wires, and machine tagging.
2. Electric P8 makes it easy to upconvert projects to a newer P8 version, but they are not backward compatible.
Inconvénients
1. This is our department's largest expense.
2. Converting from a non-P8 platform to P8 is not trivial. For this reason we do not upgrade EPLAN 21 and EPLAN 5.7 projects into P8
3. Once they stop supporting a version, hope that your databases don't become corrupted.
