EPLAN Control Circuit Design
with Ammeter and Signal Lamps
Learn EPLAN Control Circuit Design step by step by building a complete power and control system, including ammeter wiring, current transformer integration, and phase signal lamps. This lesson teaches practical schematic drafting methods, real control panel wiring logic, and professional documentation techniques used in industrial electrical projects.
Structured EPLAN Control Circuit Design Workflow
In this lesson, you will perform EPLAN Control Circuit Design in a practical project environment using professional engineering standards in EPLAN Software & Service.
The focus is on creating structured and readable electrical schematics that integrate both control and power sections in a clear and logical layout.
We begin by configuring Embedded Forms and selecting proper contact representations to organize the schematic structure and improve documentation clarity.
Duplicating and Managing Control Circuits
You will learn how to duplicate similar control circuits efficiently and manually adjust device numbering for an additional feeder.
This is a common requirement in real industrial projects where multiple control sections must follow consistent engineering conventions.
Power Control Circuit EPLAN with Ammeter and CT
Next, we move to the Power Control Circuit EPLAN design stage.
Here you will integrate current measurement devices into the power circuit, including:
-
Installing an ammeter for current monitoring
-
Wiring and positioning a current transformer (CT) correctly
-
Designing a three-phase ammeter selector switch based on real manufacturer catalog data
This ensures accurate current measurement and professional implementation of monitoring equipment in the electrical schematic.
Phase Monitoring Using Signal Lamps
To improve operational visibility, you will add phase signal lamps before the main switch to indicate phase presence and system status.
This practical implementation reflects real Control Panel Wiring EPLAN standards used in industrial electrical panels for monitoring and safety.
Professional Schematic Appearance and Device Identification
Finally, you will refine the visual quality of your drawing by adjusting device tag fonts, symbol display settings, and schematic presentation standards.
These steps ensure your EPLAN Control Diagram is clean, readable, and professionally documented.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to complete a full EPLAN Control Circuit Design that includes structured control logic, power circuit implementation, ammeter measurement, and signal lamp indication, all presented in a professional industrial schematic.
