There are two distinct techniques being used for the

Control Modules. For CM-01, individual names are used, which enables each wire to be routed to a different

entry port in the 3-D model. For CM-02, the same name is used, which enables all wires to be routed to the

same entry port in the 3-D model. The latter method is

simpler, since all ports could be pre-configured in the Catalog with a value of entry.

Task 4. Configure properties for the Power Box.

1. Click General Selection Tool from the main toolbar. o Configure properties for PB-01, as shown in the following figure. o Click Apply > OK when finished.

5. Configure the properties in the other blocks within the relays, referring to the following table:

o Add a ref_des property to the Normally Closed Contact (NCC) in each relay.

o Click Apply > OK when finished. o Add a ref_des property to the Normally Open Contact (NOC) in

each relay. o Click Apply > OK when finished.

Table 3: Values for the ref_des Property

NCC NOC

RL-01 RL-01_NCC RL-01_NOC

RL-02 RL-02_NCC RL-02_NOC

Since the relays are groups, the properties must be applied to the blocks within the group.

The group and block are equivalent to the relay sub-assembly and coil component in the 3-D

model.

Task 7. Configure properties for the wires using datasets.

1. Click General Selection Tool from the main toolbar. o Select W-01, right-click, and select Properties. o From the Fiber tab, click Apply Dataset.

� Select the 16_blk_sxl spool (row 18) of the dataset. � Click OK from the Dataset dialog box. � Click Apply from the Properties dialog box.

2. Select W-02. o Click Apply Dataset in the Properties dialog box.

� Select the 16_grn_sxl spool (row 26) of the dataset. � Click OK from the Dataset dialog box. � Click Apply and OK from the Properties dialog box.

3. Right-click and select Deselect All. 4. If you wish, complete applying datasets to wires 3-20, as shown in the

following figure. o These datasets will have been already applied to the wiring

diagrams you will use in the subsequent module exercises.

Datasets for Wires

Applying datasets gives the wires the required properties for Pro/CABLING.

The colors listed are for reference purposes, and will only be seen in the 3-D model. Task 8. Configure properties for the cable using a dataset.

1. Select the entire cable by selecting its decoration, as shown in the following figure.

o Right-click and select Properties. o Click Apply Dataset. o Select the 3xAWG16 spool (row 1) of the dataset. o Click OK from the Dataset dialog box. o Click Apply > OK from the Properties dialog box. o Notice the wire names belonging to the cable update to Black,

Green and Red as specified in the dataset.
