Planning and Project management

 Flexible consistent support of graphic and
device-oriented project management
Macro-technology scalable, based on sets of
technical values and graphical variants
Assured results logical check functions and
automated project evaluation
Totally global support of international standards

Planning and Project management

 The EPLAN Data Portal is a Web service integrated into the
EPLAN platform, via which high-quality device data from numerous
component manufacturers can be made available online, and then
dragged and dropped into the Eplan documentation.
All products anchored in the EPLAN platform have equal access
to this Web service.
Simply dragging the available components into the project file reduces
project planning work and enhances the quality of machine and system
documentation.

Design Calculation Verification
The application-dependent design of power
distribution components and climate control measures
is a key element in the engineering process of an
automation plant.
Rittal Power Engineering allows you to easily
configure standard-compliant Ri4Power low-voltage
switchgear and busbar systems with integral design
certificate!
One key criterion of efficient plant planning is
optimum design of the climate control system.
Design Calculation Verification
Here, our Therm product provides precise, fast
calculation of your climate control requirements and
helps you to design suitable climate control measures
also available as an App for iPhones and Androids!
The CAD data of the components provide the basis
for efficient planning.
This data can be retrieved online via the Rittal
website with our RiCAD-3D software, and worldwide
via Partcommunity.

Calculation program for enclosure climate control

The Therm software performs complex calculations of all

your climate control requirements. A user-friendly interface
guides you to the most suitable, correctly dimensioned
climate control component.
The calculation produces detailed documentation that you
can either print out directly or simply transfer into your
preferred word processing program, for maximum peace of
mind when calculating climate control components.

Virtual enclosure layout
Based on electrical project management and hardware engineering,
correct system-based design of power distribution and climate control,
backed up by technological data on Rittal system components,
EPLAN Pro Panel allows you to achieve a virtual enclosure assembly layout.
EPLAN Pro Panel is the software solution for technological project
management and 3D assembly layout of enclosures.
Fully integrated into the EPLAN platform, consistent product data from the
EPLAN Data Portal supports interdisciplinary engineering in electrical design
and enclosure project management, enhances project quality, and in this way
permanently accelerates the product creation process.
The virtual 3D product data model provides all data needed to control
NC production machines, automated wire assembly or the production of
individual copper busbars.

EPLAN platform
Eplan solutions are interconnected via the EPLAN platform,
so that all applications receive the same basic data and
functions for enhanced project quality.

By eliminating the need for manual data comparisons,

processes are accelerated, and you are free to concentrate
once more on essential engineering tasks.

The EPLAN platform technology offers major scope

for optimisation through gradual introduction of parallel
engineering.
