The cable routing feature allows you to set up a model of the cable routing in your plant. First, you need to create reference cableway components. These are catalog components for which you can specify manufacturer's data. The software allows you to specify one of three possible categories of reference cableway components: trays, conduits, or miscellaneous. You can make space reservations by defining cableways and segments (the physical conduits) in your plant, and later associate the segments with reference components. Alternatively, you can specify the reference components for the segments at the time when you create them. After you define the cableways and segments in your plant, you can assign cables to specific routing paths, singly or in batch mode.

The software allows you to create predefined routing paths as a way of specifying physical relationships between cableways. Predefined cable routing contains cableway segments that you select and whose order you specify.

You must define a segregation level for the cables you intend to route, as well as for the cableway segments. Assignment of segregation levels allows you to specify separate groups of cables that you would not normally route together along the same path, for example, high and low voltage cables.

A number of reports that come shipped with the software are available to assist you in managing your cable routing efficiently. These include:

  • Segment Width Estimate

  • Cableway Component Material Take-Off

  • Cableway Segment Schedule

  • Segment Fill
