In EPLAN you can create your own sets of identifiers taking into consideration different standards, countries, and customers.
Precondition:
You have opened a project.
- Select the following commands: Tab Master data > Command group Symbols > Identifier sets.
- Select the New popup menu item.
- In the New identifier set dialog specify the designation for the identifier set and click [OK].
A new column with the appropriate header is displayed. - Enter the identifiers for the individual functions into the various cells. Identifiers can consist of multiple characters.

Note:
After each change, the changed identifier sets must be exported. If you receive a new function definition library in an update, you need to import your exported identifier sets into the new program version and add the new function definitions.
