Reduce your engineering costs
by up to 50% with Mitsubishi
Adroit Process Suite (MAPS)
and Eplan Electric P8
A
t SPS IPC Drives 2014,
Mitsubishi Electric
demonstrated the
integration of the Mitsubishi
Adroit Process Suite (MAPS) with Eplan
Electric P8 data for the first time,
underlining the positioning of MAPS
as an integrated automation lifecycle
software solution. The integration
enables Eplan Electric P8 users to
generate a MAPS project directly from
Eplan Electric P8 circuit diagrams.
The Mitsubishi Adroit Process Suite
(MAPS) is a lifecycle software solution
with which users can create projects
in order to generate control codes,
SCADA templates, tags and documents
for parts of a system such as valves,
pumps and conveyor belts, for
example. Being able to integrate Eplan
Electric P8 data directly now makes the
task of creating these MAPS projects
significantly easier so that MAPS can
guarantee value growth along the

entire value chain, starting with the
electrical design process. Integration
enables system components to be
connected and commissioned in
accordance with documentation,
without having to write a line of
code for the control system, design
a single faceplate or generate a tag
in the process. System components
can be controlled and operated right
away, enabling development costs to
be reduced by up to 50 per cent and
commissioning to be carried out much
sooner.
Changes within the MAPS project are
reflected in the MAPS database. If
necessary, control codes, graphical
displays in the SCADA project, tags
and documentation can be updated
automatically at the push of a button,
thus ensuring consistency between
documentation and the actual state
of the system throughout its lifecycle.
This makes troubleshooting and

maintenance easier, guaranteeing
improved system availability, since
scheduled and unscheduled downtimes
can be kept to a minimum.
Eplan Electric P8 from e-F@ctory
Alliance partner Eplan Software &
Service facilitates project planning,
documentation and management
of electrical automation projects.
The automatic creation of detailed
evaluations based on circuit
diagrams is an integral part of the
comprehensive documentation facility
and can provide the data required for
downstream project phases such as
production, assembly, commissioning
and servicing. Engineering data from
other project areas can be exchanged
via interfaces to CAE software and
guarantee consistency and integration
across the whole product creation
process.
