EPLAN P8 Automotive Upgrade

My current automotive control-panel drawings sit in an older release of EPLAN and no longer reflect the hardware now being installed on the line. I need the entire electrical project converted and re-designed in EPLAN P8 so the documentation matches reality and supports future expansions.

The scope is clear: we are upgrading an existing system, not starting from scratch. That means importing the legacy project, cleaning the device data, and redrawing the schematics so they comply with today’s automotive standards.

During the conversion you will:
• Add several new components recently introduced to the machine build.
• Replace every instance of the obsolete drives, I/O cards and safety relays with their modern equivalents.
• Re-work the PLC, HMI and safety networks so the drawings show a fully integrated system (all cross-references, PLC addressing, terminal plans and cable lists must update accordingly).

Deliverables I expect at hand-off:
1. A complete, error-free EPLAN P8 project file (.elk) with all pages validated by EPLAN’s message management.
2. Updated device, terminal and cable reports exported to PDF and Excel.
3. A concise change log summarising what was added, removed or replaced.

I already have the original EPLAN project, the new BOM, device data sheets and the latest company drawing templates ready to share once we start. If you have a solid track record with EPLAN P8 in automotive applications, I’m keen to review your approach and estimated turnaround time.
