This procedure shows how to move loads between different buses in your plant.

  1. Select Actions > Batch Load Association.

  2. On the Batch Load Association dialog, under Power distribution board, select a power distribution board.

  3. From the Bus list, select the required bus.

  4. Select the Loads tab.

  5. Select the loads that you want to move. You can select multiple rows if you need to move several loads.

  6. Select Move to Cache.

    The software moves the load from Associated loads list to the Cached Loads tab.

  7. Repeat the two previous steps for each load that you want to dissociate from the currently selected bus.

  8. Select the Cached Loads tab.

  9. Select Apply.

  10. From the Power distribution board and Bus lists, selected the required PDB and bus to which you want to move the cached loads.

    • On performing this step, the software prompts you to save the changes. If you select Yes, the software dissociates the cached loads from the bus to which they were assigned, and you can now reassign them.

    • Also, the software displays a message allowing you to move the selected bus together with its feeding circuit and the circuit internal items. However, if the load that you want to move is connected to the bus through converting equipment, the feeding circuit cannot be moved with the load.

  11. Do one of the following:

    • For each load that you want to reassign, select the check box in the Item Tag column.

    • To reassign all of the loads in the list, select the Select all check box.

  12. Select Assign to Bus.

    When performing bus load association and assigning a load to another bus on the Cached Loads tab of the Bus Load Association dialog , the software checks if the selected load is associated with a heater that is connected through an auxiliary contact that is fed from the same circuit as the selected load. If the software detects such a heater, it will prompt you to move the associated circuit together with the load. If you click Yes, the software will move the load and its heater together with the associated circuit to another bus. If you click No, the software will only move the selected load without moving the heater or the circuit. In this case, you will have to move the associated heater manually.

  13. If you have not assigned all the items to new buses, repeat the three previous steps for each load that you want to reassign.

The Cached Loads tab behaves as a temporary data store only; the software removes all loads from the list when you close the dialog.
