Single Line Diagram vs Multi Line Schematics
| The single-line representation of schematics is used to provide clear documentation of the electrical configuration of machines and plants. In contrast to multi-line representation, which shows all component connection points and the total number of connections of cable connections, single-line representation shows greatly simplified components with one, or a maximum of two, connections and cable connections with a single line. |
Single-line components can be inserted into single-line and multi-line schematic pages. Depending on the page type where a function created in the device navigator is placed, the representation type of the function is automatically adjusted to suit the page type. This means that the function is placed as a single-line symbol on a single-line schematic page and as a multi-line symbol on a multi-line schematic page.

Net-Based Wiring Connections
| Net-based connections enable a schematic to be created without having to define immediately how the connections are arranged. This means that nets containing a large number of connections can be defined within a project. The connection sequence within a net will not be determined by the connection symbols in the schematic but must be defined later in the property dialog for the relevant net definition point. |
If you have a "Net Based Wiring" license, the Specify targets check box will be displayed in the property dialog of connection symbols with branching options (T-nodes, jumpers, double junctions). If this check box is deactivated, the target order for the relevant connection symbol will not be evaluated and the connection symbol will be shown as a point. In this case the connections are not automatically generated and must be specified manually.

PLC & Bus Extension
|
The module EPLAN PLC & Bus Extension supports the user in managing PLC controllers and bus systems. The PLC information in a project can be displayed and edited in a dialog. The module provides a navigator for the bus configuration, adding a central overview of all the PLC / BUS components of a project and their interconnection. This makes it easy to recognize where each BUS line an automation component belongs to, straight from the tree display. |
