Electrical Limit Values, Maximum Regulation Distance

Whenever the cable fan-out leading to the signal box from an object to be cabled undergoes a shift in the core cross-section, checking the permissibility of the cabling is rendered impossible if it involves maximum regulation distance based on core cross-sections. This is where the two electrical limit values "Maximum Resistance" and " Maximum Capacity" come in, the compliance of which is monitored as part of the cabling implementation program.

Cable Catalogs, Cable Catalog Variant

To facilitate the implementation of project-specific requirements for the cable types to be used, each core group is assigned a cable catalog variant (e.g., "CCV1/KKV1"). This cable catalog variant describes one or more cable catalog labels (e.g., "Dlk 1.013.110" (standard signal cable) or "Dlk 1.013.200" (PZB control cable)). These cable catalog labels, in turn, are what the corresponding cables are assigned to in the cable catalog component file KUP_KABK.SDD. If the idea is to work outside the standard templates, all it takes is to copy the cable catalog component file into a project directory, implement the cable adjustments in the file and to update the file description (said description is available for selection in the pop-up list "Cable Catalog" as part of the main module of the cable overview plan.)
