Eplan added the Fluid and Harness proD products to the Encompass Program. With the Eplan suite of products, users can bi-directionally compare their engineering data with the control systems f rom Rockwell Automation. All products of the Eplan Platf orm have now been approved f or inclusion in the Encompass Product Ref erence program of Rockwell Automation.

Rockwell Automation has added Eplan Fluid and Eplan Harness proD to their portf olio of approved Encompass products. T hese products now join Eplan's other approved systems such as Eplan Electric P8, Eplan Pro Panel and Eplan PPE. T his means that all the systems of the Eplan Platf orm are now listed. Eplan has been a Global Encompass Partner of Rockwell Automation since 2008. Eplan Fluid is an engineering tool f or design and automatic documentation of circuits f or f luid power systems in hydraulics, pneumatics, cooling and lubrication. T he Eplan Platf orm connects the f luid-specif ic engineering with all other engineering disciplines, so that various engineering tasks can be executed in parallel. T his accelerates the whole engineering process - even when combined with other disciplines, such as electrical engineering. Eplan Harness proD is a modern 3D/2D sof tware system f or the ef f icient design and documentation of wire harnesses. T his system's strengths lie in the automated steps involved, f rom importing mechanical models as 3D environments f or wire harness layout and combining them with wiring lists f rom the Eplan Platf orm, right up to routing the cables and generating the engineering documentation and manuf acturing 2D nailboard drawings. T he ability to incorporate mechanically relevant inf ormation f rom various MCAD systems, as well as the ECAD connection inf ormation, means that Eplan Harness proD has the potential to be seamlessly integrated into PDM environments. T his allows a harness to be designed, even when there is no mechanical prototype available. To put it simply: Development times are reduced, productivity increases and project quality is improved on a continuous basis. T hese engineering solutions provide additional synergies between Rockwell Automation and Eplan. Users can now create their electrical designs using the database centric, object-orientated architecture and then use the bi-directional control data synchronization between Eplan Electric P8 and RSLogix 5000, and P8 via RSLogix Architect, f or hardware and tag synchronization, between both the control system and the electrical drawings. T hey will now benef it by being able to use Eplan Pro Panel to virtually design their switching cabinet layouts with 3D layout planning, supported by eTouch technology. T hey can then send the engineering data directly to the manuf acturing department. Solution providers, system integrators, machine and equipment builders (OEMs) and engineering f irms will all benef it equally f rom the partnership between Eplan and Rockwell Automation.
