The platform for the branch solution EB Instrumentation is Engineering Base (EB), the most recent Aucotec tool for the planning and documentation of electrotechnical plants.

EB is Aucotec's newest product generation.

Aucotec links more than 20 years of experience with the most modern technology.

The most important requirements for a really new project tool, i.e simple application, well-known methods of operation by Microsoft standard tools, absolute freedom in the process and automatic data consistency have been successfully realized in the EB concept.

Project without Limits EB Instrumentation has no limits, neither in the extension, an important point for the enormous amount of data required in process technique, nor in the graphical design of plant documentation.

Unicode allows EB to adjust to the special characteristics of each country and each branch.

The user has complete freedom in the process due to his access options per Explorer, table or graphic.

Furthermore, an unlimited structuring of plant objects and equipment is also possible.

Only EB uses Microsoft standard tools like Microsoft Visio to set and process graphics, VBA as a well-known programming language and the SQL server as a reliable database.

With its database EB guarantees a high amount of security, as, no matter where you work in the plan if you work in the tabular or graphic view, each processing entails the automatic consistency of data in every other view.

This prompt update is the advantage par excellence of object orientation driven by data.

All objects which are managed by the database can be displayed graphically under different aspects and in various documents.

The user specifies by a simple drag and drop if a device object leaves its marks in a PandI diagram, the loop or a hook up or in further documents.

EB is informed about all representations of an object and offers them for a fast navigation.

EB's typical oriented procedure is ideal for accelerated processing - in particular in new and redesign planning.

EB selects an appropriate master for a new measuring or consumer point and all necessary devices, cables, input and output of the control system will automatically be created and allocated.

Graphical plans are also created automatically by EB.

Planning work cannot be accomplished faster and more efficiently.

EB Instrumentation focuses on an integrated operation method, e.g the PandI diagram where the control and process engineering specifications are made.

EB has an interface for all relevant objects of the flow chart for process engineering designs, like piping isometrics and installation diagrams.

It is therefore possible for design planning to rely on the specifications, which have already been made.

For control processing, EB Instrumentation offers a complete range from Basic- Engineering up to details like wiring and production.

EB uses established methods like typical oriented loop generation and alphanumeric wiring, but offers also very simple functions like integrated work sheets, which enable a tabular processing of mass data.
