Focus on device data

Eplan Data Portal has been expanded with new updating, enhancing and filtering functions for device data
 At the Hannover Messe, Eplan presented a new, fee-based web service: Eplan Data Portal Professional. Users get comprehensive functionalities to update or enrich device data, as well as significantly expanded filtering possibilities.
When device data has been updated in the portal, the system alerts users as to which data is more current than that found in their local database. Now users can update their data at the push of a button, without manually searching and replacing. The portal’s new data enhancement functionality begins at the start of a project, when device data is not yet available in the device management system. Users can send lists of devices or model numbers to the data portal and then they receive a shopping cart to download with all the found device data.
Besides supplementing commercial data, these updates also include important engineering data such as macros, documentation and production data. Users can begin designing without having to go through the tedious process of setting up master data beforehand. Once device data is enhanced, the change is accounted for during the update routine for device data. Comprehensive filtering options such as the ability to save prefilters can be assigned to individual persons via the integrated rights administration. Components can be located more quickly, considerably increasing the speed of the design process.
