If you work in automation, you will accumulate hundreds of EDZ files. A messy library leads to duplicate parts and "Phantom macros" (symbols on the page with no linked part data). eplan edz files

Most major component manufacturers provide EDZ files free of charge. If you work in automation, you will accumulate
In modern electrical engineering and control panel design, efficiency relies on the seamless integration of hardware and software. The EDZ file format (EPLAN Data Standard) is the industry standard for exchanging digital product data. It allows engineers to drag and drop manufacturer components directly into their schematics, complete with 2D footprints, 3D models, and connection data, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
