In the Division by section of the Wire-list Editor dialogue, in the upper left part of the dialogue, you can specify that you only want to display and thereby work with a certain part of the wire-list. In that way, you can simplify and streamline your work.

 

 

Four options are available here:

 

•Numbering area

•Function (the = part of item designations)

•Location (the + part of item designations)

•Product (the - part of item designations)

 

In most cases, the most natural way of dividing the wire-list is by Numbering area. A Numbering area is the area in which you use specific numbering series, not affected by wires in other numbering areas. How the numbering areas are defined is a matter of configuration. Regardless of how you have defined them, they will be listed in a tree-structure for your selection, if you select the Division by Numbering area alternative. Please refer to the Numbering areas sub-topic for a detailed description of them.

 

Three additional division alternatives are available, all of them based on one of three standard aspects used in item designations according to the IEC1346 standard, namely "function", "location", and "product".

 

If you are using item designations in multiple levels, the designations that you have selected - function, location or product - will be displayed in a tree structure. If you do not use levels or if only one level exists, the selected designations will be listed after one another. In either case, you can select any displayed designation, and thereby limit the displayed wire-list accordingly.

 

All wires in wire-chains that pass through a selected designation part will be included in the display, even wires that by themselves are located outside of the specified scope.

 

Example:

 

You divide by location and select +E1.

 

You have the following three wire-chains:

 

•+E2-K1:A1  -  +E2-K2:A1  -  +E2-K3:A1

•+E1-X1:1   -  +E2-X1:1   -  +E3-X1:1

•+E1-F1:1   -  +E1-F2:1   -  +E1-F3:1

 

•None of the two wires in the first wire-chain will be displayed, since no connection point in +E1 is included.

•Both wires in the second wire-chain will be displayed, since one of the three connection points is indeed within +E1.

•The third wire-chain will of course also be displayed. It is entirely within +E1.
