Cable lists supporting multiple devices in each end are possible to create since cadett ELSA R39.0.1.2.

 

A cable list typically only include one line for each cable, where both ends of the cable are specified with item designation. This is fine as long as the cable connects only one designation in each end, like one terminal group in each end. If however, the cable cores of one or both ends are connected to more than on designation, as for instance two terminal groups in the same end, the cable list might be regarded as incomplete. The feature that is described here will add additional lines to the cable list when needed, to display all designations to which a cable connects in each end. This is made possible with an additional field in the *A.DBF TARGET database (CABSTAT) and an associated report variable (!CABSTAT).

 

The condition !FBTYP = 6 is replaced with !CABSTAT = 1 to obtain a cable list that supports multiple devices in each end. In all other ways, the report definition - including the form - can be identical with previous cable lists.

 

Please note that this feature applies to cable lists only, not cable core lists where the above-mentioned problem has never existed.
