The cable routing module is used to calculate, optimise and automate cable runs in an electrical installation.
From a simple organisational mimic panel to the detailed block plan of an industrial site (single or multi-folio), irrespective of the scale of the different plans, Trace Elec Routing offers a graphical interface using any compatible AutoCAD document. The routing calculation minimises the cable lengths, while taking account of the environmental constraints for laying cables, the separation of the types of signal and the fill rate of the ducts and other raceways. The module lets users specify mandatory via-points or paths.
Trace Elec Routing can support an unlimited number of cables and folios. For example, it can be used for studies as diverse as special machines, production lines and entire industrial sites, such as power stations with 20,000 to 30,000 cables.
The fill rate management feature takes account of the cable bulking percentage and the mandatory reserve volume
The length of the different cable run sections is determined either by:
Its actual length, measured on the scale plan, or By entering a value forced by the operator
The measured length can also be increased by:
Adding a length for each cabinet, to take account of the cable run in the cabinet and the requirements relating to the preparation of the cable head Adding a length to any point in a section for taking account of differences in height Taking account of a safety percentage on the total length of a cable
A simple query to the routing module produces customisable lists of cables by duct or path, the description of a cable run and the accumulated lengths used per type of cable.
It also provides a graphic view of the cable runs on the plans.
Optional module
This new module is used to:
Map the cable ducts and runs on a block plan Calculate and optimise the cable runs in an electrical installation Calculate the routing, so as to minimise the cable lengths and take account of the environmental constraints (laying cables, separating types of signal and the duct fill rate and other raceways) View the routed cables and produce lists of cables
