Siemens and EPLAN now are synchronizing updates of parts data available through the online EPLAN Data Portal, assuring users of the latter that the component datasets they import are identical in all respects to those on the Siemens Mall.
The EPLAN Data Portal is a unique online source of free device and component data for machinery and plant design. Downloads now exceed over one million datasets per month from a selection of 700,000 parts from 179 leading manufacturers that continues to grow.
Previously, data exchanges between Siemens and EPLAN, covering additions and updates, only took place once or twice a year. That sometimes led to confusion among users about discrepancies between listings on the two portals for basically the same items. To alleviate those concerns, Siemens and EPLAN now perform parallel updates of the Data Portal and Siemens Mall, and have standardized the selection structures of the individual articles. “The new process means our customers can be sure they are receiving standardized, up to date and high quality data every time – no matter from which source they select their products,” explains Stefan Domdey, Global Coordinator of the EPLAN Data Portal.
EPLAN users can import datasets directly from the embedded Data Portal right into their projects, ready to use, and not have to re-create that data manually. The portal provides essential data about the component which can include macros (essentially pre-engineered circuit schematics), dimensions, trade characteristics, connection and mounting properties, etc. that can be easily entered into the current design file with the click of a mouse or archived for future use.
非EPLAN用户可以访问数据门户,并获得电气原理图的DXF表示以及商业数据和BOM信息。目前,有43个参与的供应商为超过100,000个数据集提供了DXF文档,并且该数字正在增长。EPLAN数据门户上的每个产品也可以使用商业数据和BOM信息。
