The Cable Core(Conductor) Schedule Format
The field structure for the cable core(conductor) schedule file, <ProjectName>CORSCH.dbf, is as follows:
| Field Name | Default Width | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| CABLENAME | 25 | Cable name given to cable core(conductor) marker attached to conductor | From attribute |
| CORENAME | 25 | Core(conductor) name given to cable core(conductor) marker | From attribute |
| 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, or name of this cable core(conductor) | From Termination block attributes at first termination |
| IEC_FERR_A | 25 | From IEC Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB2-54 / W001 / TB0-13 | Same as FRMIEC field in the Ferrule Report |
| 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 the 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 attached to the second termination, OR name of this cable core(conductor) | From Termination block attributes at second termination |
| IEC_FERR_B | 25 | To IEC Ferrule(wire label) – e.g. TB0-13 / W001 / TB2-54 | Same as TOIEC field in the Ferrule Report |
| REFRNCE_B | 59 | Reference of location of component at the second termination for the conductor | Calculated from position of component on drawing |
| STATUS | 59 | The status of the component. Can be either FIXED, MIXED or FLUID. You can configure these text items in the Setup Preferences page | Generated in function |
| CRIMP_A | 59 | The crimp at the first termination | From Termination block attributes at first termination |
| CRIMP_B | 59 | The crimp at the second termination | From Termination block attributes at second termination |
| WARNINGS | 255 | Warnings field | Generated in function |
Notes
-
Two terminations only, (A and B), are shown for each cable core(conductor) as Elecdes assumes that cable cores (conductors) only terminate at the two ends.
-
Each termination is described by the fields PNLNO, DEV_TBLK, TERM, FERRULE and REFRNCE.
-
A WARNINGS field has been added allowing reports of open / short circuit errors.
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 cable core(conductor) marker or a matching field from the catalog data of the cable core(conductor) 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.
