This procedure shows you how to copy a reference single-core cable assembly from the Reference Data Explorer to the Electrical Index.
-
In the Reference Data Explorer, open the Wiring > Cables > Single-Core Cable Assemblies folder.
-
Select the required reference single-core cable assembly.
-
Drag the single-core cable assembly to the Electrical Index and drop it into the Wiring > Cables > Single-Core Cable Assemblies folder.
-
After dragging a reference single-core cable assembly to the Electrical Index, the software automatically displays an expanded view of the cable assembly and adds the assembly's cables to their relevant folders in the Electrical Index. The common properties are also changed automatically to reflect that the assembly is no longer a reference item.
-
When connecting the power connectors (S, T, R) of a single-core cable assembly to an electrical equipment item, the software automatically completes the connection of the power connectors after the first connection has been made to that item. For example, after connecting the S cable to a motor the software automatically connects the remaining two power cables (T and R) to the motor. The grounding and neutral cables are not connected automatically and are connected by the user.
-
Changing the tag sequence of one of the cables in an assembly affects the tag sequence of all of the other cables in that assembly.
-
Making any other change (for example, changing the sizing, routing, and so forth) in the properties of one of the cables in an assembly that is connected to bus phases affects only those cables in the assembly that are connected to the phases of the cable assembly.
-
Changing the properties of a grounding or neutral cable in an assembly affects only that particular cable.
