Electrical and Instrumentation Drawing Attributes

Electrical and Instrumentation drawing attributes are set at drawing type and symbol level. Attributes may be set for Control Loop, Hookup, Termination and KOL/SLD drawings and templates and their symbols. They are especially useful for configuring automated Loop and Termination drawings.

Loop and Hookup Drawing and Template Settings

Settings for Loop and Hookup drawings include:

• Connection point labels.

• Symbol template variants (for left, right and tiers 1 to 3).

• The minimum spacing between connectors.

• The vertical spacing between dynamically inserted symbols, for example between multiple terminal strips in the same enclosure.

  

• Whether or not individual cable cores are displayed.

• Whether or not connections between terminals in the same and in different terminals strips, and connections to overall screen cable cores, are displayed.

  

Termination Drawing and Template Settings

Settings for Termination drawings include:

• Symbol template variants (for left and right orientated symbols).

• The vertical spacing between dynamically inserted symbols, for example between connectors.

KOL/SLD Drawing and Template Settings

Settings for KOL/SLD drawings include:

• The glyph used to represent fed item connections on potential busbars and their size.

• For multi-line busbars, the potential bar spacing.

  

• Fed and supply tag connection point labels.

Loop Drawing Cable Settings

• The text to be placed on top of cables on automated drawings, and the justification of this text.

Termination Drawing Cable Settings

• The lengths of cable on automated drawings.

• The text to be placed on top of cables at the From and To ends of cables on drawings, and the justification of this text.

• The text to be placed at the From and To ends of broken wires.

• The direction in which cables are to be drawn from the top/bottom and left/right connections.

• Cable group types and counts that should be treated as exceptions to the default orientation rule. Only enabled when you select the Vertically setting the For Left/Right Connections, draw cable option. Enter separated by commas, as shown in the image above.

Cable Core Settings

• The lengths of cable cores on automated drawings.

• The text to be placed on top of cables cores at the From and To ends of cables on drawings, and the justification of this text.

Group Shield and Overall Shield Settings

• Hoop width and the offset distance between them.

• Tied back text, symbol and size (%).

• The text to be placed on top of cables cores at the From and To ends of cables on drawings, and the justification of this text.

Termination Drawing Link Settings

• The offset distance between links.

Looping Wire Settings

• The offset distance between looping wires.

• The text to be placed on the middle of looping wires.

Wire Settings

• The offset distance between wires.

• The text to be placed on top of the From and To ends of wires, and the justification of this text.

• The text to be placed at the From and To ends of broken wires.

Busbars on Multiline KOL/SLD Drawings

• Line colours, types and line weights for:

  • Power connection phases.

  • Positive and negative direct current busbars.

  • Neutral, protective and PEN equipment and cable conductors.
