Equipment Layout

Wiring Manager includes a facility for designing and viewing internal equipment component layouts in a graphical user interface. This interface shows all the internal components such as Terminal Strips, Devices, I/O Modules, Earth Bars and Compartments for the current Equipment item.

It can also be used to view and edit the internal components of Compartments (Terminal Strips, Devices etc.), although not the compartment elements (items such as circuit breakers, fuses, meters, transformers etc.) themselves.

Access the Equipment Layout window from the:

• Equipment View, by right-clicking on any Equipment (or Compartment) node then selecting the Edit Detail option.

• Equipment List, by clicking on the in-cell button displayed when the mouse is hovered over Equipment No field, then selecting Edit Detail option from the displayed Options window.

• Cable Schedule, by clicking the button in the From and To cells, and selecting Edit Detail from the displayed Options window.

• Cable Block Diagrams, by right-clicking on any equipment, then selecting the Edit Detail option.

• Major Equipment Catalogue, by selecting an item from the Major Equipment Catalogue grid view, then clicking Edit and selecting Edit Detail from the displayed Options window.

• The window can also be accessed from Enhanced Wiring Rule creation interface in the Electrical Engineer module.

The Equipment Layout window is then displayed:

Edit the equipment details as required.

Note:
Any changes made in this window are not saved until the Save command button is selected.

Note:
Equipment layouts and details may be derived from a catalogue item specified during item creation. They can subsequently be edited as required. This will not affect the layout or details of the catalogue item.

Note:
The Last Edit field that appears on this and other windows displays the date and time when the equipment data was last edited. The user name of the individual that performed the edit is displayed in a tool-tip when the mouse cursor is hovered over the field. Click the button in the field to display the Audit Manager, which will display a list of all the changes to the equipment data.

Note:
If a Compartment layout is being edited, many of the fields are disabled. Most Compartment details may only be edited in the Engineer module. Refer to Compartment Layouts for more information on viewing and editing Compartments and Compartment element layouts.

The Termination DWG Required checkbox allows the equipment to be added to the Wiring Manager Designer's Drawing List so that a CAD termination drawing can be created for the equipment's terminations.

The Signal Class Applies and Signal Service Applies checkboxes fields are for reference purposes only. There is no limit to what cables or field devices that can be assigned or terminated to this equipment. They can be used, for example, to help the Designer or Engineer assign analog signals to this equipment.
