Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
Siemens' content, and adapt it for your own machine documentation. Training At the following address (http://www.siemens.com/sitrain), you can find information about SITRAIN (Siemens training on products, systems and solutions for automation and drives). FAQs You can find Frequently Asked Questions in the Service&Support pages under Product Support (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/ps/faq).

A SINAMICS topology configured in EPLAN can be used in Create MyConfig Topo. The SINAMICS topology is exported to EPLAN electric P8 as a file via the "Siemens DQ-Topo" Add-In. This output file is imported for further use in Create MyConfig Topo. The data already configured for the production of a machine can therefore continue to be used with immediate effect in CMC.
Safety notes Fundamental safety instructions 1.1.1 General safety instructions 1.1.1.1 Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed WARNING Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are not observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death can occur.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
Requirements In order to be able to use the EPLAN Add-In, you require the EPLAN functionality of the "API AddIns" interface. EPLAN versions This documentation applies to the EPLAN Add-In version V1.9. The EPLAN Add-In has been released for EPLAN electric P8 versions 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. The functionality of the Add-In is identical in all EPLAN versions.
Method of delivery and loading the EPLAN Add-in Method of delivery The EPLAN Add-In is delivered as a ZIP file "EPlanPlugin.zip" with the DVD for Create MyConfig from version 4.8. To load in EPLAN, unpack the EPLAN Add-In ZIP file in a directory of your choice. Requirement You require two licenses to use the EPLAN Add-In: ●...
