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 (for example, Marshalling Cabinet, Junction Box, Local Panel, I/O Panel).

To edit equipment details

1. Access the Equipment Layout window in one of the following ways:

   • Equipment View: right-click on any Equipment node, and then select Edit Detail.

   • Equipment List: select the in-cell button displayed when the mouse is hovered over the Equipment No field, and then select Edit Detail from the displayed Options window.

   • Cable Schedule: select the button in the From and To cells, and then select Edit Detail from the displayed Options window.

   • Cable Block Diagrams: right-click on any equipment, and then select the Edit Detail option.

   • Major Equipment Catalog: select an item from the Major Equipment Catalog grid view, select Edit, and then select Edit Detail from the displayed Options window.

   

2. Edit the equipment details as required.

   Notes: Any changes made in this window are not saved until the Save command button is selected.
   
   Equipment layouts and details may be derived from a catalog item specified during item creation. They can subsequently be edited as required. This will not affect the layout or details of the catalog item.
   
   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.

3. If desired, select the button in the Last Edit field to display the Audit Manager, which will display a list of all the changes to the equipment data.

4. To add the equipment to the Wiring Manager Designer's Drawing List so that a CAD termination drawing can be created for the equipment's terminations, select Termination DWG Required.

   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.
