Phoenix Contact 3D CAD & EPLAN Macro Data

Provider：Phoenix Contact

Phoenix Contact provides 3D CAD models and EPLAN macro data across the portfolio — 2D dimension drawings and 3D cabinet-layout macros included — plus a 3D terminal-strip configurator that emits a BOM.

Readiness
L1 · Rigid-body ready
Rationale
Product pages and the configurator provide 3D CAD models (STEP and others) plus CAx data, and the EPLAN Data Portal carries schematic macros, 2D dimension drawings and 3D cabinet-layout macros for terminal blocks, power supplies and relays, with extractable mass and collision geometry, hence L1; the assets are component geometry and electrical connectivity definitions, with no material parameters for EM or thermal simulation.
Scale
Covers the full portfolio of terminal blocks, power supplies, relays, PLCs, surge protection and industrial Ethernet; product pages provide 3D CAD models and CAx data, while the EPLAN Data Portal supplies schematic macros, 2D dimension drawings and 3D cabinet-layout macros by order number, and the online terminal-strip configurator places blocks on a 3D DIN rail and emits a BOM. (The macro types on the EPLAN Data Portal (schematic macros, 2D dimension drawings, 3D cabinet-layout macros) and the order-number lookup follow the official portal's entry structure; the terminal-strip configurator's 3D DIN-rail placement and BOM output come from Phoenix Contact's official configurator page. No single-vendor model count is published, so coverage is stated by product line and portal. Checked 2026-11-01.)
License
Proprietary but free — 3D CAD and EPLAN macros are free for product design and control-cabinet engineering; the intellectual property belongs to Phoenix Contact and the data may not be redistributed or used outside design. Searching the EPLAN Data Portal and some downloads require a registered account; the models are exterior geometry, and key ratings (voltage, current, conductor cross-section) must come from the official technical datasheets.

Why it is listed

Phoenix Contact spans the full electrical layer of a plant — terminal blocks, power supplies, relays, PLCs, surge protection and industrial Ethernet — so a control-cabinet or power-distribution twin needs its geometry and its schematic data together. It is listed here because both come from the vendor's own channels rather than from a community repository.

Readiness assessment

Product pages and the configurator expose 3D CAD models (STEP among the formats) and CAx data, giving rigid-body geometry with extractable mass and collision shells — that is L1. The EPLAN Data Portal adds the electrical layer: schematic macros, 2D dimension drawings and 3D cabinet-layout macros, retrieved by order number. The models are exterior geometry with no material parameters for EM or thermal simulation.

Practical notes

Use the EPLAN Data Portal to pull the macros for a specific order number — searching by type rather than by order number is the common reason a part appears to be missing. Product pages carry the 3D CAD models and CAx downloads. The online terminal-strip configurator lets you lay out blocks on a 3D DIN rail, then outputs a BOM with marking characters, jumpering and end plates. Registration is needed for the portal.
