Smart Instrumentation adds cable sets (pairs, triads, and so forth within a cable) automatically when you create a new cable based on a cable configuration. This procedure describes how you can add another cable set to an existing cable that already contains a number of cable sets.
If you are working under cable type dependency, and have already created plant cables
based on a particular reference cable, the software does not allow you to add cable
sets to such a reference cable. Further, you cannot add cable sets to a plant cable
created under cable type dependency. The System Administrator can enable cable type
dependency when making domain definitions.
-
Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer, or press F8 to open the Reference Explorer.
-
Expand the Cables folder.
-
Right-click a cable, and select New > Cable Set.
-
In the Cable Set Properties dialog, type the cable set name in the Cable set text field.
-
Under Cable set sequence, enter the sequence of the cable set in the cable.
Typically, the cable set sequence is determined by the manufacturer. If you change
the sequence number of a cable set, make sure that you also change the sequence number
of the other cable sets in the cable as appropriate to avoid duplicate values and
erroneous terminations.
-
Select OK to add a new cable set.
