Cable Hole Management Definition

Common Functionality

Hole Management System : Addition of Managed Holes : Cable Hole Management Definition

The Cable Hole Management Definition window displays the different input criteria depending on the Hole Shape Selection Class.

If the Class is set to Standard Types then the Cable Hole Management Definition window displays as follows:

Hole Shape Selection

There are two main types of hole that can be selected from the Class drop-down option.

Depending on what data has been set up by an administrator in the catalogue database the list of selections available in the Class drop-down changes.


Standard Types	These are predefined hole shapes provided by the system
Selection Tables	Hole selection tables appear in the list only if the catalogue has been configured to provide one or more hole selection tables

After selecting the Class you must select the hole shape Type. If the Standard Types Class has been selected then a list of predefined types can be selected. Otherwise the Type drop-down list changes depending on the data configured by an administrator in the catalogue database.

Hole Shape Parameters

Depending on the hole shape Type selected, the input criteria under Hole shape parameters is changed. For example if Rectangular Hole has been selected as the hole type then you are prompted to enter numeric values for the Width, Height and Radius of the hole.

Positioning

Specify values in following fields to adjust the position of the hole.


Open Offset	Position the hole relative to the open side of the cable tray.
Width Offset	Offset the hole across the width of the cable tray.
Gap	Specify a gap between the cable tray and the penetrated item.
Rotation	Rotate the hole shape fitting around its axis. Specify this value as a numeric value in degrees.
Orientate Hole	Appears only for penetrated items that are not planar (such as a curved or knuckled surface). It is used to set the direction of the penetration normal to a point selected on the non-planar surface.
Panel side	Appears only for penetration components that can be attached to either side of the penetrated item.

Add Penetrating

Allows another penetrating cable way to be selected and added to the item(s) already being managed by the Cable Hole Management Definition window.

Note:

Add Penetrating is only available when modifying a penetration.

Information

The penetration purpose for the element is displayed below Information for example CABLINGSYSTEM. Any messages also display in the Information area.

Code

A production code is stored with managed hole data, the code can be extracted and used by a production system.

Note:

The production code entered in the system is stored in a dataset under the managed hole association along with other managed hole data. The data element has DKEY= PCOD. The values stored in this data element is a string.

Click OK on the window creates an entry in the Hole Management system.

Cable Hole Management Definition: Selection Table Hole Types

When a Selection Table has been selected in the Class drop-down then the window changes to display as follows:

In this example the Class has been set to MCT Cable Transit which is a Selection Table that has been configured in the catalogue database.

Each Selection Table contains one or more penetration sub-classes which are selected from the Type drop-down list.

The Hole Shape Parameters section of the Cable Hole Management Definition window previously visible when the Class was set to Standard Type is now replaced by the Hole shape selection section. The drop-down lists represent penetration selection criteria defined in the catalogue database.

As the selections are made in the drop-down lists, the number of penetrations available for selection in the Penetration drop-down is filtered to those penetration components that match the current selection criteria. If the Penetration drop-down contains no entries then there are no items in the catalogue that match the current selection criteria.

The Properties option displays the standard catalogue component parameters window where any user defined dimensions of the penetration piece are defined.

Click OK on the window to create an entry in the Hole Management system.

The next step is to change the status of each new penetration to Requested using the Hole Management window. Refer to Create Pipe Penetration with a Penetration Component for further information.
