EPLAN Terminal Numbering & Advanced Terminal Management
Apply advanced filters with EPLAN Terminal Filters & Sorting, assign structured IDs using the EPLAN Terminal Strip Navigator, and perform clean EPLAN Terminal Numbering with automatic numbering features for professional project-wide terminal management.
Lesson 17 — Mastering EPLAN Terminal Numbering & Advanced Filtering
🛠️ In this session of the EPLAN P8 comprehensive training (new version), we focus on EPLAN Terminal Numbering, a critical feature for real-world electrical projects.
📦 We begin by working with terminals in electrical schematics and learn how to select and filter them as single-ended or double-ended connections using EPLAN Terminal Filters & Sorting.
🔍 You will understand the importance of advanced filtering and learn to define AND/OR logic for precise terminal selection. These techniques are essential for efficiently managing large projects with hundreds of feeders and terminals.
🧩 After selecting the terminals, we demonstrate how to assign structured identifiers to each terminal strip using the EPLAN Terminal Strip Navigator. This helps maintain an organized, professional project structure.
🔢 The session then covers automatic terminal numbering in EPLAN, showing how to configure settings to ensure a clear, logical numbering sequence.
✏️ We also teach how to retain identification letters like PE while automatically numbering the terminals, producing sequences such as PE1, PE2, PE3, and so on.
⚙️ Additionally, you’ll learn how to add prefixes and suffixes to terminal numbers, making the numbering fully customizable and suitable for professional projects.
🛠️ With the EPLAN Terminal Strip Navigator, you can quickly edit terminals and apply wide-scale changes efficiently, saving time in complex projects.
🔎 The session also explains how to filter schematic components within navigators, so you only see and work with the parts you need.
🧪 Towards the end, we explore different scenarios for editing symbols and demonstrate practical implementation of these changes.
📑 Finally, we introduce methods to generate specialized reports from terminals, ensuring you are fully prepared to manage your project effectively.
✅ This free course includes the first 20 sessions of our full 90-session Complete EPLAN P8 Program.
