4               Cabinet Routing Attributes

The assistant Cabinet Routing uses attributes for wiring, which contain information about devices, wires and cable channels.

The following attributes are accessed.

Object

Attribute and AID

Description and admissible values 

Pin

Position X

AID = 490

Optional: The positions X, Y, Z will be calculated, if there are no entries for the attributes.

In the project properties/wiring the following values are predefined.

Alphanumerical Pins will be connected at top center direction ‘North’.

Numerical pins with even numbers will be connected at top center direction ‘North’.

Numerical pins with uneven numbers will be connected at bottom center direction ‘South’.

Pin

Position Y

AID = 491

Optional: See Position X.

If you make an input here, then the way the Y position will be determined depends if the attribute Reference Point exists and has been filled.

Reference Point existing and filled: the Y position will be determined starting from the edge of the shape Top/Left or Bottom/Left

Reference Point does not exist or has not been filled: the Y position will be determined in the following way:

·            With wiring direction North: starting from the upper edge of the shape.

·            With wiring direction South: starting from the lower edge of the shape

Pin

Position Z

AID = 492

Optional: See Position X

Pin

Wiring Direction

AID = 10222

Optional: The pin's wiring direction, North = at top, South = at the bottom. If no entry exists, then the values from Project properties/Routing will be used.

Please use the system dictionary for entries, otherwise the entries are not accepted from the Routing assistant.

Pin

Reference Point

AID = 27868

Optional: Enter the reference point for wiring. Possible input is Top/Left and Bottom/Left.

If the attribute is being used, then the wiring direction may be changed without altering the geographical position of the pin in the model.

The input is expected in the form of system dictionary texts, otherwise the Routing assistant will not recognize them.

Wire

Routing Information

AID = 394

Contains the calculated cable duct designations, separated by commas.

Wire

Coordinates

AID = 394

Contains the routed wire coordinates, separated by commas.

Wire

Length

AID = 10193

The calculated length of the wire.

Wire

Signal Type (EMC)

AID = 10129

Optional: Signal Type of the wire. Wires can be excluded for specified cable ducts. See also attribute 'Not permitted Signal Types (EMC)' at a cable duct.

Wire

Wiringdirection 1

AID = 10901

Possible range: Upward, Downward, Left, Right and combinations: Upward, right; Upward, left; Downward, right; Downward, left.

Wire

Wiringdirection 2

AID = 10902

Possible range: Upward, Downward, Left, Right and combinations: Upward, right; Upward, left; Downward, right; Downward, left

Wire / Object

Exclude from routing

AID = 10652

Using this check-box wires or items can be excluded from routing.

Device

Position Z

AID = 492

Distance of the device to the mounting plate.

Device

Width

AID = 245

Width of the device.

Device

Height

AID = 246

Height of the device.

Device

Depth

AID = 247

Depth of the device.

Cable Duct

Filling rate in %

AID = 10653

Contains the filling rate in % of the cable duct calculated with the diameter of the routed wires.

Cable Duct

Not permitted Signal Types (EMC)

AID = 262

Optional: Wires of specific signal types can be excluded from the routing through cable ducts.
