CMPIC Screens and Their Purpose

How are the various menus in the Navigator arranged?

When CMPIC is installed for the first time, we use a standard set of menus. Unless we have arranged with you to customize the menu set up, then your initial menustructure will be the same as that outlined in this document.

Opening up Live Projectsshows the projects listed.In this example CMTraining project andSingle Training project.You will see your own listof projects.

The menu options for yourproject will be in the sameorder as this example.

Explanation of Each CMPIC Screen and Its PurposeBelow each main menu heading is a list of further menu options (in green font) or the screens themselves (in black font).

Library Data

Cable Data

Cable Types

Build up library of cable types.

Add data about cable types

Retrieve data about cable types

Cable Class

Enter type of cable category - rubber, coax etc. This can then be added to the Cable Types data if required.

Cable Type & Assoc Cable Query

For a given cable type see all cables scheduled with that type. Also gives status and design length of each cable listed.

Cable Type Design Quantities

For a given cable type see the total estimated, design and installed lengths for the cables of that type. Also shows the total cable count for the cable type.

Cable Purpose Codes

Create the purpose categories for cables: power, control, degaussing, relay etc. This Purpose Code is compared to the Purpose Code listed for the cable type. If there is a

mismatch, CMPIC will issue a warning but does not stop you using that cable type.

Reports

Cable Types Report

Lists cable details for all (or one) cable type. See Cable Types Report for an example.

Equipment Data

Equipment Schedule

Enter and maintain details of all cabling related equipment used on the project. This includes tray types, ladder rack types, penetration types, plugs, sockets, etc.

can be queried. Examples: aircon main building, main door hydraulics, potable water etc.

Area & Location Codes

Enter and maintain details about areas or compartments used. These could be rooms, compartments, corridors, stairwells etc. There are also 3 further hierarchies of areasavailable. For example a room could be part of a floor which is part of a building which is part of a site. If equipment and cable trays etc have been linked to Areas, thereare reports which show cables and devices by area and cables running between areas.

Segregation Codes

Enter and maintain details on segregations (EMC designation). Once listed here (HV, LV, C, I etc) the codes can then be allocated to individual cables and also to thenodal network.

(CMSF01) Segregation Codes

screen

You can also create Segregation Groups. That is groups of individual segregations which on occasion can be allocated to a tray or hanger or tier of a tray or hanger.


screen: Groups tab

Click on Groups tab1.

Type in a Group ID and description2.

Type in the order that each entry will appear in when the list is called3.

Double click for the list of individual segregations (already created) and add them line bay line to the Group4.


screen: Multi-Tier Groups tab

For MultiTier Group segregations click on the MultiTier Groups tab1.

Type in a Group ID and description2.Type in a Tier number, then double click to add either an individual segregation or Group of segregations for each tier.3.

When the Multi Tier segregation groups have been created they can then be applied to the nodal network segments.

Using Multi-Tier segregations in

Nodal Network (1)

When a Multi-Tier segment type is used you can apply one of the Multi Tier segregations to it by double clicking in the Segregation

field

Using Multi-Tier segregations in

Nodal Network (2)

Once saved, the record will show all segregations individually by tier. This information is used by CMPIC for routing.

Status Codes

A list of all the Status Codes used by CMPIC in the logical order in which they are applied. Entries for Routing, Terminations, Devices and Conduits.

Status Code Order

Shows the next level (s) of status following on from a given status. E.g. If a cable is PSP (Pull Sheet Printed) the next status could be one of the many partial pull, optionsor fully pulled (IFP).

Reference data


63 24.04.2014 13:31


8/63

A list of all the codes used in CMPIC. The user will not have to add to or amend this list. It is there for reference only.

Fill Types

The list of all the nodal network Fill Types which can be used in CMPIC. There is a second tab which is greyed out except for tray type fills 2 and 3. For these Fill Types,the user can define his own separation rules for cables of different segregations running on the same tray.

Segregation Spacing

This is the screen in which the spacing rules referred to above are created.

User Area Authorisation

Unless specifically being used on the project, accessing this screen will produce an error. If required, the screen is used to set up areas for which nominated users havethe responsibility of approving cables. This means that cables can be routed and approved in separate areas and once all sections of the cables route have beenapproved, the entire cables route is deemed approved.

AutoRouter Rule Sets

When using the Auto Router, the user can submit a cable for routing using more than one set of rules to optimise cable routes, % fill etc. These rule sets can be created

using this screen.

More

Segregation Code Grouping

Allows cable segregations to be grouped together so that this group can be applied to parts of the nodal network. E.g. on a given set of trays you may allow Control,

Instrumentation, Fibre Optic and Data cables. By creating a Group incorporating these four segregations, the Group can be applied to the nodal network rather than having

to apply each individual segregation.

Cable Purpose Codes

Create the purpose categories for cables: power, control, degaussing, relay etc. This Purpose Code is compared to the Purpose Code listed for the cable type. If there is amismatch, CMPIC will issue a warning but does not stop you using that cable type.

Deck Order

For marine projects the user can define here the decks referred to in the project.

Signal Types

In the Terminations Module of CMPIC, Signals can be applied to cable cores. This screen enables the user to create the signal types which can then be used to createspecific signals cable by cable.

Standard Notes

In this screen the user can create and maintain the list of Standard Notes to be applied to Cables and the nodal network. These numbered notes can then be applied to

cables or the nodal network from within other screens. Once the note has been added, for example as a Pull Sheet and/or Term Chart note, then when the report is printedthe note will be included and will appear in the NOTES screen (accessed from Cable Schedule or Cable Terminations screen).

Block Definition

For marine applications, if a ship is being constructed at more than one yard, the structure of each separate block can be defined in this screen. The structure being a setof compartments which belong to the block. Each block is also allocated to a Site. This then means that block and site specific reports can be generated.

Maintain sites

For marine applications, if construction is being carried out at more than one yard, then the sites (or yards) involved are listed here. They can then be used and referred toin other screens.

Maintain Earthing Chart

Where CMPIC is used for on site testing and documentation of test results, where an Earthing Chart is used, this screen allows maintenance of the appearance of thatchart (which is a report in itself)

Zone Definition

If the design is or can be broken down into zones, this screen allows creation of those zones. A zone is a grouping of areas or compartments. Once created these zonescan be used as part of CMPIC routing rules. Zones can be defined as being required or prohibited for given cables routes.

Report Cover Page

When reports are created which allow modification of the cover page, these are shown through this screen.

Reports

Area Report

Enables a report to be created for cables and devices in a specified area or group of areas.

Project Setup

Project Configuration

This screen will probably be hidden from all but system administrators. In this screen (in several tabs) the defaults are set for the project. These defaults include settingwarning levels for % fill on the network, defining whether cables can be deleted or whether they can only be cancelled etc.

Schedule Cables and Devices

Add/maintain Devices

This screen represents the Device Schedule. Here you create devices and their associated details. If data on devices has been imported from a .csv file or from CAD, thenthat data will be displayed in this screen.

Add/maintain Cables

This screen represents the Cable Schedule. Here you create cables and their associated details including the to and from devices (taken from the device list in CMPIC). Ifdata on cables has been imported from a .csv file then that data will be displayed in this screen. The user can navigate to many other screens from this one: to see thecables route, its termination details, data on its to and from devices etc.

Cable Applicability Update

This screen can only be accessed for Configuration Managed projects. In that case, the screen can be used to modify the applicability of cables.

Data Import Wizard

The initial screen for defining the parameters for import of cable type, cable, device and nodal network details from a .csv file.

More

Batch Cable Notes

This screen can be used to apply standard notes to a group of cables filtered by available criteria.

Signal Schedule

Using this screen the user can create the signals which can then be applied to cores of the cable in the Create/Update Terminations screen.

Device Terminal Connections

When terminals and connections have been created in the Device Schedule and the Terminations screen, those connections can be viewed here.

Generic Devices

This screen can be used to create Generic (or Template) devices which can then be referenced in to the Device Schedule when creating a new device. E.g. create aGeneric panel with 16 terminals and number those terminals. Every new specific device which is a 16 way panel could then use this template.

Query Cables and Devices

Cable Details Query

Details from this query can be output to .csv file. Shows all cables (selected by criterion), their details, devices, current route and termination status, allocated workpackage and cut/ installed length if relevant.

Cables and Associated Devices

Retrieve the list of cables going to and from a device.

Cable Status Summary

For each status in CMPIC see the number of cables at each status. Create a .csv output of these. You will be able to see how many cables are routed, approved, partially

pulled, fully pulled etc.

Cable Types Required

Equipment Schedule: How to Add Equipment Items in CMPIC

What is the Equipment Schedule and how do I use it?

The Equipment Schedule is the screen where all types of equipment relating to the nodal network and cable terminations are listed and described with associatedattributes such as size, weight etc.

The Equipment Schedule, like all CMPIC screens, can be used to add, amend and retrieve information on equipment.

The screen can be found under the menu hierarchy: Project Name -> Library Data -> Equipment Data

Equipment Schedule screen

(CMSF09)

There are various tabs which are used to select the type of equipment that you are interested in. These tabs are described below

Tab Description

Segment Types

Segment types describe the equipment which is used to create the nodal network. These include: trays, ladders, MCTs and penetrations, trenches,

hangers, conduits, ducts etc. Any type of equipment which carries cables can be listed and described here. You can also add other types of cable

containment which might otherwise not be clearly defined elsewhere, such as buried cableways, jumps between trays, etc.

Plugs/Sockets

If you have cables which are terminated with a plug, then the plugs and their matching sockets can be added here. Once you choose a plug for a

cable, CMPIC ensures that only a matching socket can be used on the device. In the terminations function of CMPIC, the software then allows you

to terminate the cores of the cable to the pins in the plug rather than to the terminals in the device.

Terminal types

If you want CMPIC to help you to check that cable core sizes match the terminals in a device, then you can decribe the terminal types in use here.

Once a terminal type has been added, you will be able to select the appropriate type for each device terminal when you schedule the device.

CMPIC then checks whether the cable core d iameter is within the allowance of the terminal type, and if not gives a warning.

Conduit Types

Conduits are used (in CMPIC terms) to shield or protect cables when they are running along trays, ladders etc. Typically a shielded conduit, in some

applications, is used to protect a cable from others of different segregations. This allows that cabel to be routed alongside incompatible cables as

long as it remains in the shielded conduit. The management of this process is carried out by CMPIC.

Termination

Equipment

This covers equipment such as lugs, rings, clamps and other equipment used on cable cores during termination. The details of the termination

equipment can be added so that core diameter is checked to see whether it falls within the allowance of the termination equipment type, and if not

gives a warning.

Cable glandsGland details can be added here and glands can be associated with specific cable types. When associating a gland with a cable type, the diameter

of the cable type is checked against the allowable diameters for the gland and if not CMPIC gives a warning.

Transit blocks

Transit blocks are used in conjunction with MCTs - Roxtec and Brattberg being the two most common. The details of the blocks through which the

cables pass are defined in this section. When a nodal network type of MCT / penetration is used (with a fill type of 4), then CMPIC automatically

looks to see if there are any transit blocks defined in the equipment schedule. If there are, the software will use the smallest block defined to contain

the cable type in question. CMPIC then uses the block dimensions and not the cable diameter to calculate the % fill of the MCT.

Other

equipment

In this section you can define any other equipment which could be applied by CMPIC but which has not been defined elsewhere. This could include

backshell equipment such as sleeves and adaptors. Once defined here, these can then be used to add to the materials linked to plugs and sockets

for example.

Overall

equipment view

This is a list of all equipment defined in the equipment schedule.

How do I add equipment?

Equipment Schedule screen:

Segment Types tab


f 63 24.04.2014 13:31

Field Description

Segment

Type IDA unique ID (30 characters max) to identify the segment type

Description 60 characters free text to describe the segment type

Width Width in mm of the tray, ladder, hanger etc

Height Height in mm

Weight The weight of the segment type expressed as Kg per metre

Fill typeThe down arrow icon displays the list of available fill types. Choose a fill type which typically reflects how fill is calculated for this type of segment. This

can be overridden for specific projects or through updating the fill types for segments using the Segment Fill Type Update screen.

Span

In the suppliers catalogue (for trays and ladders) you will find UDL information. The Span field should show the normal span that you use (distance

between tray/ladder supports). In the tab below on the left hand side headed UDL Information, you then type the same Span distance and in the field to

the right - UDL kg/m - you type in the weight advised for this span from the suppliers catalogue.

Corporate

No.This is an free text field to enter an alternative code for the segment type, such as a supplier reference.

Fill Type Override sub-tab


Segment Types tab ... Fill Type

Override sub-tab

In this section you can choose to apply a different fill type (for the highlighted segment type in the main screen) per project. Although the defauilt fill type in the main screenis 3 - Multi layer - in this section you can change that. In this example, for project CAD2, the fill type used for the selected segment type will be 2 and not 3.

Project Availability sub-tab

In the Project Availability tab you can restrict the use of a selec ted segment type to specific projects. If not restricted then the segment type will be available for all projects.

Clicking on the Restrict Projectsbutton shows the message: This will restrict access to this Segment Type to the current project (and any others where already

used)only. Continue?.


Segment Types tab ... Project

Availability sub-tab (1)

If you click OK the message then the segment type selected can only be used on the project you are in and any other projects where this segment type has already beenused in the nodal network.


Segment Types tab ... Project

Availability sub-tab (2)

You can De-Restrictthe use of the segment type by clicking on the De-Restrict button.

Creating Multi-Tier segments

A multi-tier segment is a hanger or tray which has more than one level on which cables can be routed. In CMPIC these types of segments can be created in the equipment

library. Once a multi-tier segment has been defined in the equipment library it can be used as part of the nodal network creation. The multi-tier segment type can bereferenced either directly from the Create Noda Network screen in CMPIC or if interfaced to CAD can be created based on an attribute (multi-tier type ID) passed toCMPIC through the network creation process. Each multi-tier type has a multi-tier segregation allocation which defines the tier that each segregation must keep to.

The advantages of this approach are:

Each customer can create their own series of standard multi-tier configurations. The multi-tier configuration is created using segment types already defined in the

Equipment Library. So multi-tiers can be all the same tray or hanger size, or different sizes for each tier. Any number of banks of trays can be configured so you

could create two banks of 4 trays running down either side of a corridor.

Once the multi-tier segment has been used, CMPIC will ensure that each cable segregation is allocated to the appropriate tier. CMPIC manages the routing of

cables from tier to tier based on allowable segregations. Reports reflect the tiers that cables run along for production documentation purposes.

(CMSF09) Equipment Schedule:

Creating Multi-Tier segments

In the Equipment Schedule screen, click on the Multi-tier Groupstab1.

Enter ID and description and number of tiers2.

In Tier Configurationsub-tab, double click to select the segment type which makes up this tier3.

If the multi-tier segment is a hanger, it is identified as a Pt Seg(Point Segment)4.

If available you can add the offset distance between the tiers. This is then used to increase the cables length when jumpingfrom tier to tier

5.

Category

This is a free text field to add an alternative reference for the segment type. Once a category has been type in, it can be

re-used by double clicking in the field which then shows the categories already used.

Min BR and Max BR

This is the minimum and/or maximum bending radius for the segment type. If used, this figure is compared to the MBR for

the cable type with appropriate warnings given when routing.

Penetration

If the segment type is being used as a penetration or MCT, this box should be ticked. This then invokes certain rules for use

of this segment type.

Conduit Allowed

If the segment type allows the use of conduit (as described in Conduit Types above) the tick this box.

Point Segment

An MCT or hanger/bracket can be defined as a point segment. If this box is ticked, it means that the MCT or hanger can be

defined in the nodal network as being a single node. So the nodal network screen expects the to and from node for the

segment to be the same. This allows % volume and weight fill to be calculated at that node, rather than between nodes.

Non-standard penetration

If you allow non-standard penetrations (i.e. irregular shaped holes), then you need to tick the option in Project Defaults

(Network tab) which allows this. Then as you create segment types, you can define which of these are Non Standard

Penetrations. Once selected her, you can then specify a usable area(instead of a fixed area) when creating the nodal

network.

Terminal Types Tab

This is where you can define the types of terminals used in devices to terminate the cores of cables.


Terminal Types tab

Field Description

Terminal type ID A unique (20 character max) code to describe the terminal type

Description A 40 character max description of the terminal type

Min Conduct The minimum core size of cable which can be accommodated by the terminal type

Max Conduct The maximum core size of cable which can be accommodated by the terminal type

Corporate No. A free text field for adding an alternative reference

If terminal types are assigned to device terminals, then CMPIC will issue a warning if the core size of the cable is incompatible with the min and max conductor sizesdeclared with the terminal type.

Conduit Types Tab

In this section you can identify the types of conduit to be used. Conduits are used (in CMPIC terms) to shield or protect cables when they are running along trays, ladders

etc. Typically a shielded conduit, in some applications, is used to protect a cable from others of different segregations. This allows that cabel to be routed alongsideincompatible cables as long as it remains in the shielded conduit. The management of this process is carried out by CMPIC.


Conduit Types tab

Field Description

Conduit type A unique code (20 characters max) to identify the conduit type

Description A 40 character max description of the conduit type

Weight Expressed as Kg per metre

ScrndRefers to SCREENED or not. If a conduit is identified (using the toggle) as YES (that is = Screened) then this type of conduit CAN be used to contain a

cable which has segregation not listed for a par t of the nodal network. The use of conduits is described fully in other documents.

Inner OD Inside diameter of the conduit. Used to calculate the % volume fill of the conduit.

Outer OD Outside diameter of the conduit. Used to calculate (along with the OD of the other cables) the % volume fill of the tray or other segment type.

A line for each terminal is created in the Device Terminals section (lower right-hand corner)of the screen3.Name each terminal (free text)4.

How to add Near Nodes

Near nodes

Near Nodes are those nodes on the nodal network which are in the vicinity of the device and which are the best to use to drop off from the tray, hanger etc to the device.Each device must have1 Device Near Node, but may have more than one. Without Device Near Nodes you cannot route cables between the devices.

Device Schedule - Near Nodes

Double clicking in the Device Nodefield shows a list of nodes from the Nodal Network table in CMPIC.

Device Schedule - Near Node

Details

For each Near Node that you select, type in the Off Routelength. This is the length of cable required from the near node to the

device.

You have the option of setting one of the near nodes as the default that is the one which will normally be used. This can be

changed cable by cable if needed.

Note on Off Route lengths

As a project default in CMPIC, you will have set a % allowance on the cables' design lengths to cater for twisting, sag of the cable. In that default you can also cater for anallowance for terminations.

Alternatively, you could add a margin to the Off Route length to cater for cable required to terminate at the device.

IGNORE On Route - This is set to 0 automatically.

Using the CMPIC Wizard to populate the Device Schedule

The CMPIC Wizard can be used to input data about devices.

Please see section on Data Import Wizardwhich explains how to prepare your spreadsheets and the CMPIC Wizard for data input.

NoteAt present you cannot add near nodes for devices using the wizard - these will need to be added using the CMPIC screen.
