Thesis deals with computer aided design of electrical projects. The presented software EPLAN is the global market leading tool for development of electrical, fluid, pneumatic schemes, plotting switch cabinets and wiring harnesses for 3D design and planning of industrial processes. The work in details presents the software module EPLAN Electric P8 2.5, which is aimed at the drawing of electrical projects. The aim of the thesis is to present the basic rules and tips on how to properly use the EPLAN software and to give instructions for quality and optimized design of electrical project.
The main content of the thesis is divided into nine subsections, which describe different stages of the project construction with EPLAN software. First part of the thesis presents the software and second part gives recommendations for installation and basic settings of the program. The third part describes the various ways and methods of drawing circuit diagrams with EPLAN software, and gives recommendations for the proper approach to planning. This part also includes the instructions for setting up different types of electrical components and their further processing, while the fourth part explains the procedure for plotting 2D prefabricated panel cabinets. The fifth part of the thesis describes the proces of automatic generation of project documentation, such as parts lists, cable diagrams and terminal diagrams, connections listsand cover page. Automatically generated report documentation specifically characterizes the EPLAN software. The sixth part describes the procedures of producing own forms, symbols and templates, the seventh part describes the procedure for archiving and exporting the project and the eightth part presents the database of components and the process of making a new component entry in the database. At the end of the thesis, in the nineth part, a real project of a machine for removing the rubber seals of residues from the manufacture of plastic windows is presented.
