February 26, 2014 - EPLAN updates Engineering Center One software. EEC One is now available in 17 languages, and the software supports important international standards and norms for the global market. The integrated dictionary function also ensures direct access to the EPLAN dictionary and hence to translations of the entire documentation of the schematics in all possible languages. At the same time it ensures consistency in the descriptions due to the use of uniform terms, phrases or special characters. Language barriers are removed and the efficiency level of the software usage increased.
In particular, international companies with sites in multiple countries will appreciate this benefit. Efficient engineering is not only reflected in streamlined, automatic processes but also in the user-friendliness of the software. Furthermore, EPLAN continues to use the tried & tested Excel environment with the EEC One, which allows intuitive use. New coloring supports the error search function. Additionally, in the current version a fixed value can be specified for the position of macros with respect to the predecessor macro.
This supports rapid and clear positioning. The deep connection to the EPLAN Platform is also reflected in the integrated parts selection. The EEC One directly accesses the EPLAN parts database and transfers parts and their reference data. Transmission errors can be avoided due to the automated data transfer, and efficiency can be increased at the same time.
Moreover, the new EEC One version is compatible with the current EPLAN Platform 2.3 and the predecessor version 2.2. Nowadays, efficiency in engineering is no longer a supplementary benefit for most companies; it is necessary to remain nationally and internationally successful. Software tools that relieve the user from routine tasks are an important building block on the way to the efficient engineering process.
This leaves more time for innovative developments and problem solving. Based on the macro technology that already offers options for standardisation within the EPLAN Platform, the creation of schematics in electrical and fluid power engineering can be automated via EEC One.
