If a specific part is missing from the Data Portal, visit the manufacturer's website. Most major automation brands offer direct EDZ file downloads on their product pages under "Software," "CAD Data," or "Downloads." How to Create and Export Your Own EDZ Files
Definitions of how the part behaves electrically (inputs/outputs).
The is far more than just a technical detail. It is a strategic asset. It is the building block of a high-efficiency, error-resistant, and standardized engineering workflow. By understanding what this file format is, how to use it, and where to find the best data, you are not just managing files—you are mastering a methodology that can transform your electrical design process. Start building your digital component library today, one EDZ file at a time, and experience the profound difference it makes in your productivity, consistency, and peace of mind.
You can also export parts from your own database to share with colleagues or archive.
The EPLAN EDZ file is a powerful, structured container for device data that streamlines automation engineering. By bundling schematics, part information, and documentation, it reduces manual data entry errors and accelerates project setup. Engineers should prefer EDZ over raw CSV/XML when exchanging complete device definitions, while respecting version compatibility and source trust.
Visual 3D models (.ema) used for digital twin panel layout designs in EPLAN Pro Panel.
There are two primary methods for importing EDZ files: Via the Parts Management menu (for component data) or via the Macro menu.
