The "From To" Panel Wire Schedule Format

The field structure for the "from to" panel wire schedule file, <ProjectName>FromToWire.dbf, is as follows:

Field NameDefault WidthDescriptionSource
WIRE 25 Name given to wire marker attached to the conductor or default conductor name From WIRENAME attribute of wire marker OR generated internally
NETWORK 10 Number given to each physically connected set of line segments representing a wire (where continuation is ignored). Generated inside report function
PNLNO_A 25 Panel number for the first termination From attribute of component at termination
DEV_TBLK_A 25 Name given to device or terminal block at first termination for the conductor From TAGNAME or TBLOCK attribute of component at termination
TERM_A 25 Terminal number of device or terminal block at the first termination for the conductor From terminal attribute of component at termination
TERMSIDE_A 12 The side of the first terminal, if it is a polarised terminal, into which this conductor is connected. Position of line segment on schematic drawing.
FERRULE_A 25 Ferrule(wire label), if one is placed at the first termination From Termination block attributes at first termination
IEC_FERR_A 40 IEC Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB2-54 / W001 / TB0-13 Same as FRMIEC field in the Ferrule Report
EU_FERR_A 40 European Union Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB2-54 Same as FRMORIG field in the Ferrule Report
CRIMP_A 59 The crimp at the first termination From Termination block attributes at first termination
REFRNCE_A 59 Reference of location of component at the first termination for the conductor Calculated from position of component on drawing
PNLNO_B 25 Panel number for the second termination From attribute of component at termination
DEV_TBLK_B 25 Name given to device or terminal block at second termination for the conductor From TAGNAME or TBLOCK attribute of component at termination
TERM_B 25 Terminal number of device or terminal block at the second termination for the conductor From terminal attribute of component at termination
TERMSIDE_B 12 The side of the second terminal, if it is a polarised terminal, into which this conductor is connected. Position of line segment on schematic drawing.
FERRULE_B 25 Ferrule(wire label), if one is placed at the second termination From Termination block attributes at second termination
IEC_FERR_B 40 IEC Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB0-13 / W001 / TB2-54 Same as TOIEC field in the Ferrule Report
EU_FERR_B 40 European Union Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB0-13 Same as TOORIG field in the Ferrule Report
CRIMP_B 59 The crimp at the second termination From Termination block attributes at second termination
REFRNCE_B 59 Reference of location of component at the second termination for the conductor Calculated from position of component on drawing
ROUTE 25 The route number for Paneldes wire routes. See Wire Schedule Report. Generated by Paneldes
EST_LEN 15 The estimated length of the wire. See Wire Schedule Report. Generated by Paneldes
MINBNDRAD 15 The minimum bend radius allowed for this wire. See Wire Schedule Report. From catalog if wire marker exists
FORCE 10

If blank then all segments of the wire can be "loop optimised".

See Wire Schedule Report.

User Entered
TYPE 15 Type of wire as given in the catalog, blank if default named wire From catalog if wire marker exists
SIZE 10 Size of wire as given in the catalog, blank if default named wire From catalog if wire marker exists
RATING 20 Rating of the wire as given in the catalog, blank if default named wire From catalog if wire marker exists
MANUF 25 Manufacturer name for wire, blank if default named wire From MFG attribute of wire marker if it exists
CATNO 50 Manufacturer's part number, blank if default named wire From CATNO attribute of wire marker if it exists
USER 55 User defined data From USER catalog field
PRICE 10 Price per unit length as given in the catalog, blank if default named wire From catalog if wire marker exists
DRUMSIZE 15 The length of wire contained in one whole drum. Used by Paneldes to produce a drumming report. From catalog if wire marker exists
CABLEFACTR 10 A number representing the fill factor for this wire. Can be related to size, weight, thermal requirements etc. Zero, 0, is general and will not contribute to filling. Used by Paneldes to optimise the filling of ducting during wire routing. From catalog if wire marker exists
WEIGHT 10 A number representing the weight fill factor for this wire. Zero, 0, is general and will not contribute to filling. Used by Paneldes to optimise the filling of raceway during wire routing. From catalog if wire marker exists
POWER 5 A number representing the power rating for this wire. Used by Paneldes to separate wires with different power ratings during wire routing. Must match the power rating of the ducting intended to carry the wire. From catalog if wire marker exists
ZONECLASS 10 Area or zone classification. User defined for warnings and assistance for wire catalog's. From catalog if wire marker exists
DETAILS 100 Details about wire routing results. See Wire Schedule Report. Generated by Paneldes
WARNINGS 255 Wire schedule warnings Generated in function

Notes

  • When "only wire extension markers can be continuations" and join the networks of line segments that make up wires, a connected line segment network can be identified only by considering both the wirename (WIRE column) and network value (NETWORK column). This is as a result of the possible re-use of a wirename in a second panel under this system. See Conductor Naming and Continuation.

  • If a wire marker exists and the MFG and CATNO attributes do not reference a catalog entry, then Elecdes will not find the information on the wire details and the fields TYPE, SIZE and RATING will not contain any data.

  • Termination Blocks may be used to determine the order in which terminations of a single panel wire are listed.

Customising this report

You can add fields to this report. You can add additional fields for the conductor. You can add additional fields for the two terminations of the conductor.

  • Additional fields with normal names refer to the conductor. They will be filled with data from either a matching attribute of the wire marker or a matching field from the catalog data of the wire marker.

  • Additional fields that have a suffix "_A" or "_B" refer to the two terminations. They will be filled with data from either an attribute of the device or terminal, or a field from the catalog data of the device or terminal.

    An attribute or catalog field will match if it has the same name as the field in the conductor report with the _A or _B removed.

    e.g. The fields SERVICE_A and SERVICE_B will obtain data from the attribute or catalog field named SERVICE of the device or terminal at each termination.

  • The maximum size for a field name is 255 characters.
