Description

At the Description heading, you will find a short description that in a few short words should describe what the resource is about.

Long description

Below is a Long Description. There is considerably more space here to make a complete description of the current resource, including various data and the like. You have access to five full lines of text, each containing up to 68 characters.

Electrical data

In the field for Electrical data, you can enter such things as how many Amps a certain fuse has, the power of a motor, etc. The contents of this field can be automatically transferred to the electrical data attribute found on most symbols. For this reason, you should consider thoroughly what you enter in this field. Longer novels do not really fit here because the information in that case does not do particularly well in the circuit diagram. (!) In other words, it must be short and concise.

In parentheses it can also be mentioned that it is possible to configure cadett ELSA so that information in any field in the Catalogue can be transferred to any attribute in the symbols. By default, however, electrical data and index are transmitted. This happens e.g., if you select a resource from the Catalogue and thus automatically get the correct symbol for the circuit diagram.

E number

After Electrical data, the field for E number follows. So, that is exactly where the E number is. “E number” is a term that is most common in Sweden and the Scandinavian countries, and which is partly being replaced by, among other things, EAN codes, but which is still widely used. Here you have at least an opportunity to use the concept.

Resource type

There are two types of resources. These are “single resources” and “resource groups”. A resource group is a composite resource that consists of several parts that must be ordered separately. A single resource is the opposite of a resource group. It is not composed, and it is ordered as one single piece. A resource group thus consists of several single resources. A typical example of a resource group might be a contactor with an auxiliary contact block. Another example could be a signal lamp which may consist of a lamp socket, a light bulb and perhaps some mounting details. In the circuit diagram, the signal lamp corresponds to only one single symbol. By entering a single index in the circuit diagram that corresponds to a resource group in the Catalogue, where that resource group contains the various single resources that need to be ordered, you can get a well-specified device list automatically.

Here it can also be mentioned (in parentheses) that there are alternative ways of defining devices consisting of multiple parts, for example so-called “composite indexes” i.e., several indexes written in the index attribute, as well as indexes in help symbols. All these concepts can also be used in combination with each other.

Manufacturer

Supplier

Type number

Ordering number

The fields for Manufacturer, Supplier, Type number and Ordering number have obvious uses.
