EPLAN Fluid
Engineering Software Especially for Fluid Power Designs
EPLAN Fluid is your engineering tool especially for designing and automatically documenting schematics for fluid power systems including hydraulics, pneumatics, cooling and lubrication. The software supports a broad range of engineering methods, from manual creation to standardised and template-based work. Once entered into the schematics, the project data form the foundation for automatically completing machine and plant system documentation. In short, EPLAN Fluid offers you much more than “just” drawing schematics.
EPLAN Fluid for Your Fields of Application
Discover EPLAN Fluid’s many varied application fields – including for your industry and engineering disciplines.
Fluid Power Engineering
In fluid power engineering, it’s important to take an interdisciplinary approach in this field and to include electrotechnical designs in the documentation. EPLAN has the right solution for you for these various engineering fields – combined in an integrated software environment.
Automation Technology
Automation technology is used in all areas of technology for engineering machines and plant systems. With the solutions from EPLAN, you have an enormous range of functions at your fingertips for this discipline.
Service and Maintenance
Success for industrial companies is strongly related to their work in maintenance and servicing, which prevents machine and system failures and enables the best possible utilisation and availability of plant systems over their entire service life. EPLAN offers you integrated solutions for digitising your processes.
Configuration
The term automated engineering combines configuration with engineering. In practice, this means automating engineering processes, integrating these processes and connecting them with configuration processes in sales, order processing and directly to engineering. EPLAN offers you solutions for implementing automated engineering in your company.
Machinery and Plant Construction
The daily ordering business is getting much faster and time pressures are rising, no least due to international competitors. At the same time, customers are demanding increasingly more individualised projects through to mass customisation. EPLAN is here supporting you with integrated engineering solutions along your value chain.
Panel Building
You can optimise and industrialise your processes in control and switchgear system engineering using EPLAN’s engineering solutions in conjunction with Rittal’s system and automation expertise. Consistent data is the key to success here. We support you in saving both time and costs, in avoiding errors and in increasing your productivity over the long term.
Automotive
Hardly any other industry is facing such enormous upheavals as the automobile industry. Many car companies and automotive suppliers have been relying on EPLAN’s powerful solutions for years. With our solutions, you can optimise the entire value chain in vehicle manufacturing.
Food and Beverage
EPLAN offers you solutions for engineering the control systems of machines and plant systems, supporting you in the creation, production, further processing and packaging of agricultural products into foods and beverages.
Maritime
Digitalisation, standardisation and automation are all trends that no industrial sector can evade right now. This also holds true for the maritime industry. Integrated electrical engineering design and powerful ECAD software from EPLAN can significantly advance automation at your company.
Component Manufacturer
Efficient engineering requires a standardised and error-free database. With the EPLAN Data Portal, you have access to a vast number of high-quality device and component data from an ever-growing pool of manufacturers. The simple transfer of the available component data into EPLAN documentation is via drag and drop, which increases the quality of your machine and plant documentation.
Fluid Power Schematics on EPLAN Platform
Take advantage of the collective power of EPLAN solutions and realise parallel engineering tasks for various disciplines, including your fluid power system designs. You get all your planning and manufacturing documentation from a single source. EPLAN Fluid gives you an intuitive tool for fluid power designs – a tool that offers much more than just drawing up fluid power schematics.
Using EPLAN Fluid means you have software especially designed for fluid power engineering that is also integrated into the entire engineering workflow.
EPLAN Fluid helps you create fluid power designs using a mechatronic approach. The designs also meet the newest ISO 1219 standard and IEC 81346.
Thanks to macro technology, you can store standards and expertise in the system and re-use them.
With the EPLAN API development environment the doors to your individual further development of EPLAN Electric P8, EPLAN Fluid, EPLAN Preplanning and EPLAN Pro Panel are wide open. The development environment offers you an efficient possibility to implement your own required functionalities or automatic functions. With this individual customization in the core of EPLAN you can optimize your engineering workflow specifically.
Faster task-based processes
In the productive phase the EPLAN products can be integrated fully into your individual workflow through the API Runtime licenses. Use of the overall solution is thus facilitated for all participants. Processing times, planning errors and training times can be reduced. Users of other programs can use EPLAN functions and data without having to leave their original work environment. Results are thus available faster and more economically.

Valve Terminal Configurator with Festo
With Schematic Solution, Festo offers a web service that generates automatic circuit diagrams in seconds from the order code of an individually configured solution. This product was developed jointly with EPLAN. After configuring complex valve terminals online, Festo customers can then create electrical and pneumatic schematics in just a few minutes. The engineering foundation for this is delivered by EPLAN Engineering Configuration (EEC), EPLAN Fluid and EPLAN Electric P8.
Clever Configuration With EPLAN and Schematic Solution from Festo
How the valve terminal configurator works: Schematics are created based on EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Fluid, whereby EEC works as the generator in the background. As Festo customers enter the data into the configurator interface, EEC combines the stored data and generates the required information on the fly – including complete bills of materials, a 2D structural overview, PLC representation, a fluid power overview and a pneumatic representation. There is no need to manually create an EPLAN Project with all the necessary documents with Schematic Solution. This saves time and increases both project quality and productivity over the long term.
