8.0 Equipment Data
Equipment descriptions are important data that helps in the construction activity. Data such as
Bldg, Area, Sub Area Xloc, Yloc, Zloc should probably be generated from other applications.
Xloc, Yloc and Zloc are intended to support the automated generation of conduits from equipment
to tray. The data source field can be used to record where data came from. In this example, the
data source ‘CABLE’ indicates that the equipment tags were generated from a tool within
CableMatic that created an equipment record for each cable from and to. The description was
probably inputted manually but theoretically, this description could be imported from an external
application. The ‘Is Single System’ field indicates whether a cable going to that equipment can
derive its start-up system code from the equipment. Rules on how this field is used is described
under the section Audits, Calcs and Tools. The Retrieval Code field, will be used in TrayMatic for
purposes of retrieving the location of the equipment by area, system, etc. The Box Size is used
when TrayMatic imports data from CM+ for the first time. You may enter one value to represent
all three dimensions or three values (Width, Depth and Height). Please refer to the
AutoCADBlocks.pdf for detail of how Block Name is used.
