Cable is not connected to any equipment.
Severity
Crucial.
Detailed Description
A cable run has been found in the database with no relationships to equipment. In its nominal state, a cable is expected to connect two pieces of equipment.
Possible Cause
Most likely, this situation was caused as a result of the deletion of one or both of the pieces of equipment to which the cable was related. Check your cable schedule to determine what equipment the cable is supposed to connect, and verify that both pieces of equipment still exist in the Model database. If they do, the cable can be re-connected to them. If not, either the equipment must be re-created and the cable re- connected, or the cable should be deleted.
This error should be accompanied by an entry on the To Do List.
Possible Impacts
The reported length of this cable cannot be assumed to be accurate because it does not account for the length required to attach to equipment. Also, reports on the cable will not properly list its equipment connections.
What You Should Do
Below are the steps necessary to correct this problem.
-
Open the model.
-
Switch to the Electrical task.
-
Click View > To Do List.
-
Find the suspect cable on the To Do list.
-
Traverse to the item and re-associate it to its equipment using the Properties dialog box.
-
If the equipment no longer exists, it should be re-created or the cable should be deleted.
