New Page Type "Function overview (fluid power)"

You can now create special overview pages in EPLAN Fluid for the simplified representation of complex fluid power functions. To do so, you can use the new "Function overview (fluid power)" page type.

Benefit:

Thanks to the simplified representations on the function overviews for the fluid power you can identify the control-relevant items more easily.

In these function overviews for fluid power all cross-references to the functions in the Fluid schematic are shown. The pages of this type furthermore contain autoconnecting, connections and interruption points.

Settings for cross-references

The settings for the cross-reference display, in which the page type plays a role, have been extended by the new page type "Function overview (fluid power)":

The menu path for these settings is Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Cross-references / contact image.

New representation type

In the course of this extension the new representation type "Function overview (fluid power)" is now available for functions, connections and macros.

The synchronizing of functions distributed in this manner has been extended correspondingly.

Icons in the tree views

In the page navigator tree view, pages with the new page type are identified by the icon.

In the device, in the connections and other project data navigators, the functions, macros and connections with the new representation type "Function overview (fluid power)" are identified by the icon.

Check run messages for function overviews

The new check runs 024017 and 024018 are available in the Message class 024 "Fluid power" to find the functions / connections on the project pages for the function overview for which no appropriate multi-line functions / connections are available in the fluid power schematic.
