The aim was also to benefit from the pilot project in future tasks. The result was an established and a useable component database, which will enable the commissioning of the program at the department. For the purpose, a common DC bus project was transferred to EPLAN Electric P8. A trial was finally carried out to investigate the functionality of the database in the design process and its visualization in the final documentation. This was realized by updating the database following the component list and the presented standard.

Based on the study a comprehensive structure was presented for the database and a model for every component type. The importance of the database was studied and taken into account in the project documentation and from an electrical designer’s point of view when using the tool. The initial work was to prepare a covering range of components, based on fresh project templates utilized when designing.

The main goal of the project has been to develop and create a component database in the program EPLAN Electric P8. The idea is to replace EPLAN 21 in the near future with its sequel EPLAN Electric P8. An older E-CAE technology based design tool is currently being used, when designing electrifications for cabinet drive systems.
