Cable Harness design capability

Cable Harness design capability

  • Cable Harness design capability:

 

Cable harness is integral part of industrial automation and users are moving from wires to use of harness.

  1.  In AutoCAD Electrical can be put as part of Panel Tab
  2. It needs to be a graphical representation and more interactive than a plain report mechanism.
  3. It needs / can be generated like runtime block generation of the cable + connectors. The data is going to come from Cable from / to.
  4. The harness design needs / can show the details like wire color / pin connection / Cable catalog data / connector catalog data to represent the tables.
  5. I should be able to update catalog data (same like panel footprint update).

Above image is something what we need to accomplish to generate automatically in 2D.

Along those same lines I'd like to see something like this as well.  I typically have cables running from panel to panel or panel to switchyard and these terminate on terminal blocks.  I'd like to be able to generate a cable landing drawing similar to that shown below except having the colors instead of the destinations. (This was done by hand to show someone what we wanted.)

 

My cable bubbles are footprint blocks, and I can surf them, but the graphic fan out isn't intelligent.
