These symbols might be distributed on several different pages so how can they be seen collectively in the EPLAN platform? Where can the coil and all the relevant contacts or all the connections of a PLC card be seen clearly in one place? The basis of working with devices in the EPLAN project is accomplished by using navigators which display their composition precisely according to the Full DT.](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/why-you-should-use-device-navigators-4) [![](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/hubfs/Add%20a%20heading.png) 31/03/23 How to Insert a Symbol or Device into an EPLAN Diagram Symbols can be inserted into diagrams in one of three ways: directly from the symbol library, as a function of a device...](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/how-to-insert-a-symbol-or-device-into-a-diagram-3) [![](https://blog.eplan.co.uk/hubfs/Add%20a%20heading.png) 31/03/23 How to Create a New Page in an EPLAN Project An EPLAN project consists of pages of various types arranged in tree structures.
