From

Describes information relating to the connection point for one side of the cable. For a power cable, this property indicates the cable side that is closer to the power source.

The software does not allow you to make parallel connections or change existing parallel connections of cables on the Cable Common Properties dialog. Parallel cable connections or changes of parallel associations can be carried out only in cable block diagrams.

Tag

Indicates the name of the item associated with this cable side. If you associate the From cable side with a circuit that belongs to a PDB, the software displays the path of the circuit tag: PDB/ bus/(cell)/ circuit.

Description

Displays the description that is taken from the description of the tag associated with the From side of the cable and is read-only.

Find

Opens the Find dialog , where you can select an appropriate item to associate. (Not available if one of the ends of the current cable is connected in parallel.)

Dissociate

Dissociates an item that already has an association with this cable side.

  • If you make electrical associations in the Electrical Engineer or on the Feeder Data tab of the Electrical Motor Common Properties dialog, the software populates the Tag property on the From cable side with the appropriate data.

  • If you associate a power cable with a load that you previously associated with a circuit, the software inserts the cable between the circuit and the load and populates the Tag property with the circuit data.

  • After you have made an association for a power cable, all further changes, including dissociation, must be made in the Electrical Engineer.

Gland

Displays a gland associated with this cable side, if appropriate.

Find

Opens the Find dialog, where you can select an appropriate cable gland to associate.

Dissociate

Dissociates a gland that already has an association with this cable side.

To

Describes information relating to the connection point for the opposite side of the cable to the From side. For a power cable, this property indicates the cable side that is closer to a consumer.

The software does not allow you to make parallel connections or change existing parallel connections of cables on the Cable Common Properties dialog. Parallel cable connections or changes of parallel associations can be carried out only in cable block diagrams.

Tag

Indicates the name of the item associated with this cable side. For a power cable, if you associate the To cable side with a load, the software uses data from the load to populate some of the properties on the Sizing Data tab; if the load is connected to a PDB/Cell/Circuit, the software displays the association on the From side.

Description

Displays the description that is taken from the description of the tag associated with the To side of the cable and is read-only.

Find

Opens the Find dialog, where you can select an appropriate item to associate. (Not available if one of the ends of the current cable is connected in parallel.)

Dissociate

Dissociates an item that already has an association with this cable side.

  • If you associate a power cable with a motor by applying a profile, the software populates the To property with the motor tag.

  • After you have made an association for a power cable, all further changes, including dissociation, must be made in the Electrical Engineer.

Gland

Displays a gland associated with this cable side, if appropriate.

Find

Opens the Find dialog, where you can select an appropriate cable gland to associate.

Dissociate

Dissociates a gland that already has an association with this cable side.

Command Button

Synchronize With Reference

Opens the Synchronize Plant and Reference Cable Data Dialog, which enables you to see if there are any differences between the values in the properties of the current plant cable and the values in the associated reference cable. You can then copy the reference data to the plant cable so that the plant and reference cable data is fully synchronized. Note that this command becomes available only when there is a difference between plant and reference data for the current item.
