The EPLAN Data Portal serves as an exchange portal between manufacturers of components and the designers of electrical engineering. It provides the master data of various manufacturers for downloading. In addition to alphanumeric parts data, this master data contains schematic macros, multi-language parts information, preview images, documents, etc. The data is directly integrated into the EPLAN platform during the download.

Access to the EPLAN Data Portal is provided for all EPLAN customers who have logged on as users of the Portal. Use of all the Portal functionalities, however, is only possible for EPLAN customers who are holding the proper license.
