Importing EPLAN Pro Panel discipline libraries
Import EOX files for EPLAN Pro Panel
The T_ProPanel_Ui discipline library, as well as the T_Mechatronic_Architecture and T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem libraries created in the ‘Mechatronics’ section, must be available before the Pro Panel discipline components are imported.
Based on the initial situation, various EOX files that contain the corresponding libraries must be imported:
- The model is empty, i.e., only the system libraries are available (also see Filter). Import the following EOX files:
<EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\Mechatronic\Mechatronic.eox
<EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\ProPanel\ProPanel_Ui.eox
- The model contains T_Mechatronic_Architecture and T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem but not T_ProPanel_Ui. Import the following EOX file:
<EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\ProPanel\ProPanel_Ui.eox
- The model contains T_ProPanel_Ui but not T_Mechatronic_Architecture and T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem. Import the following EOX file:
<EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\Mechatronic\Mechatronic.eox
Proceed as follows to import the required EOX files:
- Start EEC
- Select File > Import....
The import wizard opens with the Import dialog:
- Select Model > Import wizard for model files in Engineering Object Format (EOX Format).
- Confirm via [Next >].
- Select Add in the Mode panel.
- Select the required EOX file in the Source panel.
- Select the required libraries.
- Press [Finish] to confirm.
- Use to apply all incoming changes in the Synchronization view.
- If necessary, repeat steps 2 to 9 and select the next EOX file that you need.
Importing Pro Panel libraries into T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem
To add the functions for the Pro Panel discipline to the T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem model, you will need to import the T_ProPanel_Ui library.
- Double-click to open the T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem library.
- Select the Imported libraries editor.
- Click .
The library finder now appears:
- Click [Search].
- Select the T_ProPanel_Ui library.
- Confirm with [OK].
The following screenshot illustrates the dependencies of the imported libraries:
Set preferences in EEC
The enclosure is generated using IEC_bas001.zw9, the default macro-project template delivered with EPLAN Pro Panel.
- Select Window > Preferences.
- Select Disciplines > ECAD > EPLAN Electric P8.
- In the Macro project template field, enter the path for the file IEC_bas001.zw9.
EPLAN Electric P8 is launched by EEC to generate the enclosure. For this purpose, the path for the executable file W3u.exe must be made known to EEC:
- In the EPLAN Electric P8 executable field, enter the path for the file W3u.exe.
The field is already pre-filled with a path, but that path may be different from the one in the version that you use.
- Confirm with [OK].
If a different path is shown, you must do a restart after confirming.
Note:
The versions of EEC and EPLAN Pro Panel have to have the same version!
