Dear Student,


I welcome you to, according to my opinion, the intermediate course on EPLAN Electric P8.

In this short but intense course we are going to cover the following sections / function in EPLAN:

  • Symbols and symbol libraries - masterclass - everything you need to know about custom symbols in EPLAN

  • Layer management in EPLAN - what layers in EPLAN can do for us in the real-world

  • How to be more effective when working in EPLAN

  • Bonus lecture - very interesting way to tag cables (a requirement from some customers in the real-world)

This is going to be one of my last courses on EPLAN Electric P8. I might do another one and for that one I will ask for a feedback from you, my students, to tell me which are the things you would like me to cover in the last one.

After EPLAN courses I will concentrate more on electrical design, with examples of projects I have worked on so far.

To help you master electrical design on a professional level so that you can consider a career in this field of electrical engineering.


I hope you will find my course valuable and fun and I wish you a great success in mastering EPLAN and electrical design!


Also please don't forget to rate my course and leave a short review. I thank you for that in advance.


Your Instructor for Electrical Design,

Ivan
