Creating Modules

Modules form one of the possibilities in the EPLAN platform of mapping complex devices. Modules have the same properties as parts, but additionally contain lists of subparts (so-called module positions). These subparts are identified via a subordinate DT or a so-called "DT ID".

Preconditions:

  1. Select the New popup menu item.

    EPLAN automatically creates a new module with the part number New_<consecutive_number>.
  2. Enter the data for the module into the tabs on the right side of the dialog.
  3. Select the Technical data tab. For modules from the "Mechanics" generic product group, select the Mounting data tab.
  4. Click [...] in the Macro / Graphical macro field and select the macro previously created for the module. You can also display the preview of the macro using the check box of the same name. (The preview is displayed both in the selection dialog and in the Graphical preview window if this is activated.)
  5. Confirm your entries.
