Termination Reports

Wiring Manager enables users to quickly and accurately produce reports for any equipment's terminations that can be printed out or saved in PDF format for electronic transfer. These reports are non-CAD so they do not require a CAD program to create.
Note:
AVEVA Electrical also supports the creation of Termination Diagrams in AutoCAD DWG format from the
Electrical Designer module.
Electrical Wiring Manager creates a single termination report for the selected Equipment Number, using multiple pages if necessary:
-
New pages are created when the number of terminals exceeds the maximum allowable for a specific page size/orientation.
-
Electrical Wiring Manager always creates a new page for each new DIN Rail.
-
Terminal strips on a common DIN Rail are kept together and a new page is not created unless all terminals will not fit on the current page.
An Equipment Termination report can be run in several ways:
-
In the Equipment View, right-click on the required equipment node and select Print Preview Terminations from the pop-up menu.
-
In the Equipment List grid, select the required equipment and select Preview Termination Report in the Printing section of the List Tools - Equipment List tab.
-
In the Equipment List grid, click on the Equipment No cell button for the equipment, then click View Terminations (Print Preview) on the Options window that is then displayed.
-
In the Equipment Layout window (refer to Equipment Layout), right-click on the required equipment and select Print Preview Terminations from the pop-up menu.
-
In the Cable Schedule grid, click the From or To cell button listing the equipment, then click View Terminations (Print Preview) on the Options window that is then displayed.
-
In the Wiring Rules Editor window (refer to Adding a New Wiring Rule Definition), right-click on the required equipment and select Termination Report from the pop-up menu.
-
Termination reports can also be accessed from Enhanced Wiring Rule creation interface in the Electrical Engineer module.
The AVEVA Electrical Termination Reports window is then displayed:
