EasyEPLANner: Streamline ISA‑88 Modeling Directly in EPLAN

Automate the definition of tanks, boilers and operations to ISA‑88 specs and output ready‑to‑load Lua code—ideal for automation and software engineers working with EPLAN.

From the repo · “The EasyEPLANner is an Add-In to EPLAN. It reduces the work of an Automation and Software engineers. EasyEPLANner helps to describe technological objects (Tank, Boiler, etc.), operations, etc. according to the ISA-88 standard. Eventually, EasyEPLANner generates Lua files to be uploaded to a controller.”

What it is

Generates Lua files according to ISA-88 standard.

Real use case example

"A founder of a manufacturing startup wants to integrate automation into their factory's production line. They use EasyEPLANner to generate Lua files for their EPLAN software. In just a few minutes, they upload the files and the automation system starts working, increasing production efficiency and reducing errors."
