How Do You Draw a Connection in EPLAN?

You draw a connection in EPLAN by using the "Connect" function. This function allows you to create a connection between two or more components in your schematic.

Here's how to draw a connection in EPLAN:

1. Select the "Connect" tool: This is typically found in the toolbar or under the "Insert" menu.
2. Click on the first component: This could be a terminal, a contact, or any other component that you want to connect.
3. Click on the second component: This will create a connection line between the two components.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for additional components: You can connect multiple components by clicking on them in sequence.
5. Adjust the connection line: You can use the mouse to adjust the shape and position of the connection line.

Additional Information:

• You can customize the appearance of connection lines by changing their color, thickness, and style.
• EPLAN offers different connection types, such as direct connections, cross connections, and bus connections.

Example:

Let's say you want to connect a switch to a light bulb. You would first select the "Connect" tool, then click on the terminal of the switch, and finally click on the terminal of the light bulb. This would create a connection line between the two components.
