The common platform facilitates simultaneous, real-time, multi-user collaboration on the same project anywhere in the world,’ Mulherrin said. ‘Whether your design approach is graphic or object oriented and regardless of electrical standards, language, symbol libraries, component attributes, or database interface, your processes can now achieve literally unlimited flexibility. ‘An interoperable database structure combines the intrinsic benefits of the relational graphic database in Eplan 5 with the object-oriented database in Eplan 21.’ This lets users easily migrate from either environment to a new ‘globally uniform platform,’ he says, which allows Eplan to act as a collaboration hub. Not just a new version of the company’s successful Eplan 5 and Eplan 21 packages, Eplan Electric P8 is ‘a truly new dimension in electrical design automation,’ said Mulherrin. For electrical engineers in the controls design field, Eplan Electric P8 from Eplan Software & Services demonstrated a significant new version of a product that has been delivering ‘flat world’ benefits for 22 years.Ĭontrol Engineering talked to Eplan Technical Manager Sean Mulherrin about P8’s ‘powerful platform concept,’ which allows Eplan to act as the engineering center for interdisciplinary collaboration.
ARC ‘s recent conference in Orlando, which highlighted the development of systems for a ‘flat world,’ included a lot of talk on the topic, and a display area showing products that deliver that integration today. The ability to integrate and exchange data independent of data exchange formats is a trend that promises to make day-to-day design activities easier.
