EPLAN – Teamcenter Interface Expanded

An expanded interface between EPLAN and Teamcenter® software, which offers more functionality, including catalogue part synchronisation and expanded support for Teamcenter releases is now available. This allows the EPLAN parts database to be matched with the data in Teamcenter. While the previously integrated functionality – announced one year ago – has been well received, users have been eagerly awaiting the electrical engineering interface between EPLAN and Teamcenter. Project data from EPLAN Platform can now be worked on directly in Teamcenter, the world’s most widely used product lifecycle management (PLM) portfolio. The integration module for Teamcenter seamlessly embeds EPLAN Platform solutions into the PLM environment. Electrical engineering has now become a component of the digital product model. E-CAD data such as connection lists, bills of materials and EPLAN reports complete the product model.

Create, save and revise parts lists

The interface covers the essential requirements of Design Data Management. These include management of construction data for EPLAN; opening, saving and revising data; support of all approval and change processes; creating and updating EPLAN evaluations; bi-directional synchronisation of project attributes; adopting naming and numbering rules from Teamcenter; creating, saving and revising EPLAN bills of materials in Teamcenter; as well as the authentication of EPLAN users and authorisation allocations in the Teamcenter environment. The integration of Teamcenter functionality in the EPLAN user interface means that users can easily access Teamcenter from their familiar working environment. The EPLAN integration for Teamcenter supports EPLAN Versions 2.2, 2.3, and shortly 2.4, as well as Versions 9.1 and 10.1 of Teamcenter.
