CABLE FROM\TO REPORT - CONDUCTORLIST FROM CATALOG

Anonymous
Not applicable

I would like to see the cable, conductor colors and/or numbers  BLK (1), BLK (2), BLK (3), etc. for example in the report.
Would it be possible to add the CONDUCTOR LIST from the CATALOG information to the CABLE FROM\TO REPORT? How?

 

Thanks,

Mike

No ideas? Not possible?

 

Part 2

How do people show connections to things that didn't have a symbol before? Make symbols or a easier way?
I am trying to figure out the easiest way to do this so we don't have to edit the TABLE every time we do something to it.

 

For example:

We use a Multi-conductor cable to go to a single PB enclosure, no terminals, wires are connected directly to an E-Stop.

The Multi-Conductors still need positive identification from CATALOG information. See first question above.

Then, how do we show and identify the FROM/TO information for a ground bar on one end and the panel on the other?

Add a ground lug to the enclosure symbol on the one end?

Create a Schematic Ground Bar Symbol and show the wiring?

How are others doing this so all information shows up automatically with the least amount of work after system is built?

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated,

Mike

In the report generator, push "Change Report Format", and add the column CBLWC:

If you want the unused parts of the cable as well, press "User post", check the "Include entries for unused core/conductors" and press "OK".

Hopefully, this answers the question I believe you were asking.

The short answer is: If you want to display anything as "connected" in a report, you'll have to draw the connections. So yes, I'd use some symbols for the ground bar.
