Background

There are multiple Raceway systems which consist of Cable Ladder, Cable basket, Cable Tray, and Conduit. Each raceway system can be assigned a Raceway ID by defining a macro comprised of different types of attributes. Different attributes of the raceway system include the voltage level (LV, MV, CTRL, IW, COM) , Raceway Type, Position and other such attributes. The Position Attribute depicts the Raceway position in the grid found in the Raceway Router dialog. The position is defined by the column name and row number such as” A1”, “ B1 “.

This document explains the steps that should be followed while assigning Raceway ID’s to raceway systems and how the Position Attribute can be added to Raceway IDs.

Steps To Follow-

1. Go to Raceway>> Raceway IDs.

2. In the Raceway ID and segments dialog that opens -right click on the blank grey area to choose options through which raceway id can be assigned. For raceway ID assignment you can select single segment and multiple segments according to the requirement.

3.Select Add Multiple Segment (selection) and select the segments of raceway. After selection, the Raceway Ids and segments dialog opens again and the selected raceway segments get populated at the top of the dialog box.

4. Select the ‘Position‘ attribute from the attribute picklist. User can select any attribute from the list of attributes as per requirements.

5. After selecting the position attribute ,click on Insert Attribute so that the raceway position gets added in the raceway macro.

Note-$(RW_Number) is the Raceway Macro for the ‘Position’ attribute of the raceway.

6.Click on Insert Id so that the Raceway ID gets updated in the raceway macro.

Note- Segment ($,0,n) is the Raceway Macro for Raceway ID. By default it has a start value of 1 and gets incremented by 1 for each new raceway. However the value can be changed as per requirement.

7. After both Position attribute and Raceway ID are inserted, click Apply so that the Name field gets updated with the values of Raceway Number and Raceway ID.

8. To display the assigned Raceway ID in the model, Click on Apply so that the Current Name (Model) field gets updated with the Raceway Number and Raceway ID.

9. Click Ok to display the Raceway ID on the model. Repeat steps 1-9 for Raceway position “B1”. The same steps can be followed for different positions of Raceways. After Position Attribute is added and Raceway IDs are assigned they are displayed on the Raceway.
