Standardized data is used in engineering tools and beyond. For example, it can be used in e-shops or catalogs. The item data is also useful for mechanical design, e.g., for imaging dimensions and connections.
Provision of data
Use item data across processes
Data for a wide range of applications
Item data, including commercial and technical features, is available via the Eplan Data Portal. MCAD-relevant information, such as DXF data, is also available. In conjunction with the PARTcommunity, manufacturers also provide their CAD data for direct download. The ECLASS-standardized component data from Phoenix Contact can be downloaded in BMEcat format from the company’s website.
Your advantages for greater efficiency:
