Equipment

Just like cables, components of the category „Duct/Route“have 2 locations. Hence in components of this category, only “Cables” or in turn “Duct/Route” (subordinate Duct) can be equipped.

 

End locations

The end locations of the “Duct/Route” are designated as follows:

•A location

•Z location

These 2 locations must be defined on creating a Duct; they may, however, be identical.

 

End components

In addition to the end locations of the “Duct/Trench”, 2 final components can be defined for the Duct:

•A component

•Z component

The following additional characteristics can be defined on the Duct/Route:

Cascading

In order to document pipe systems, it is possible to equip subordinate ducts in a duct.

 Example:CM-MAN~3_img214

 

A cable begins in Location A, ends in Location B. Between A and C, it lies in the duct Sub A. The shaft C lies in C. This is where the duct Sub A ends. The cable is fed-through through the shaft.  The duct B ends also in shaft C. Between C and B, the cable is drawn through the duct B that ends in Location B.
