1               About the Potential Wizard

The potential wizard can be used only if one of the following licenses is available:

·            Engineering Base Cable Logic

·            Engineering Base Cable Logic VOBES

·            Engineering Base Cable Pro

It offers the functionality for optimally creating and editing potentials using name elements.

The generated potential terms can be graphically visualized in the diagram via potential tags. In the network context menu, either you select the menu item Auto potential tags or you place potential tags manually on connections.

Prerequisites

On the database level, the device master data must contain a specification catalog that includes a subfolder Excel Worksheets under the folder Materials that contains the xml files listed in the following. The specification catalog containing these files for the potential wizard must be specified in the project properties.

·            potential_class.xml: with the available potential classes

·            potential.xml: with the available potential designations

·            potential_allocation.xml: with the available usage coordinates

The term created via the usage coordinates is just like the potential class and the potential selection part of the potential designation and is stored in the attribute Field of application. If the file "potential_allocation.xml" is not present, then as an alternative to the usage coordinates you can also use the "circuit diagram info" input to enter a diagram reference in the potential name and thereby to create unambiguous potential names.

The use of the diagram reference not only ensures the unambiguousness of potential names within a project but also keeps them when individual projects are merged to form a total project.
