The casing and accessories, equipment such as mains switches and circuit breakers, and copper rails required are collated within Eplan from an online component library and put together to form a virtual prototype of the control cabinet. Any busbar and the associated connecting elements can be individually designed and assembled virtually. The “Copper” module allows planning of various components, including switchgear systems, based on the Ri4Power solution from Rittal or the RiLine60 modular busbar system and the TS 8 control cabinet. With Eplan Pro Panel “Copper”, users can simply transfer the results of the design process into the Eplan overall project to allow further virtual setup and assembly of the control cabinet. The comprehensive new engineering solution begins with the design of the switchgear systems. Fig 1- System configuration – 3 pole Rittal Flat PLS busbar system including Rittal system accessories With Eplan Pro Panel “Copper”, information from the “Rittal Power Engineering” planning tool, which is software used for the configuration and design of low-voltage switchgear systems, can, for example, be utilised to fit the necessary Rittal system components into a virtual 3D model. The new “Copper” add-on module for Eplan Pro Panel Professional allows free design, configuration and virtual assembly of control cabinets and the necessary busbar systems. Use the menu items Edit > Graphic > Rotate around axis, Edit > Graphic > Unite, and Edit > Device logic > Mounting surface / Handle / Mounting point / Placement area > Define to do this.Switchgear is used virtually everywhere that electricity flows. You can now edit the imported graphic and add functional logic, so that it can be used as an enclosure item, a device or a 3D macro.Function definitions are automatically generated for the individual 3D objects. The 3D graphic data will be imported to a new layout space with the description from the name of the STEP file. Enter the name of the required STEP file in the File name field, or select the file by clicking it in the file list.In the Look in field, select a directory containing STEP files."STEP file ( *.stp, *.step, *.ste)" is set as the file type. Select Layout space > Import (3D graphic).Once imported, the item data can be edited and given functional logic. A new layout space is generated for each import, and is given the name of the imported STEP file.
The item data must be available in the common international STEP format ( STandard for the Exchange of Product model data). You can import 3D graphic data from external CAD systems to create your own items and 3D macros.
