Eplan has long been the gold standard for Electrical Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) in the automation, manufacturing, and panel building industries. With the release of Eplan 2022, the platform introduced a refined user interface, cloud integration, and enhanced macro technology that changed how engineers approach project design.
Whether you are migrating from older versions (like Eplan 2.7 or 2.9) or starting from scratch, this Eplan 2022 tutorial will guide you through the core workflows: from setting up a new project to generating a complete manufacturing dossier.
One of the most powerful features of Eplan 2022 is the seamless transition to Eplan Pro Panel (included in the standard Professional license). eplan 2022 tutorial
Step 1: Synchronize In your 3D window, click Tools > Synchronize Project. This reads all the parts you placed in the 2D schematic (Part 2) and populates the "Material list" for the panel.
Step 2: Auto-Placement
Step 3: Manual Adjustment Use the "Move" tool (blue arrow triad). Eplan uses magnetic snap points on DIN rails. Drag a circuit breaker onto a rail; it clicks into place automatically, respecting required air gaps (per IEC/UL standards).
If you have assigned cable definitions in the schematic, EPLAN can generate a Cable Overview page, showing which cores go to which pins automatically. Eplan has long been the gold standard for
For a more advanced draft (e.g., including parts list, cable data, PLC addresses):
