AutoPlace Conduit between Multiple Equipment Components and Raceways with Different Voltage Levels

This tasks details how to use the AutoPlace Conduit option to place conduit between multiple equipment components and Raceways with different voltage levels.
  1. Place a Panel in the drawing like the following:
  2. If the panel needs connect to different layers of raceway, input values in the Conduit_Connections field for multiple conduits that need to connect to different voltage level raceways:
    • conduit catalog1,conduit variant1,voltage level1#
    • conduit catalog2,conduit variant2,voltage level2#
    • conduit catalog3,conduit variant3,voltage level3
    The string should look similar to the one below:
    • Rico Conduit Steel,16 mm,LV# Rico Conduit Steel,20 mm,MV# Rico Conduit Steel,16 mm,CTRL
    Note: The "#" symbol is a separation character.
    Note: If the equipment connects to one voltage level raceway by one conduit, you do not need to input anything in the Conduit_Connections field.
  3. Draw three layers of raceway in the drawing with different voltage level: Ctrl, LV, MV; and place panels in the drawing like shown below:
  4. Click the AutoPlace Conduit option to display the following dialog:
  5. Define the Offset from Raceway value. This value is the vertical offset from the raceway tray. The value can be negative.
  6. Next define the Virtual Connection Length value. This is the length of the air gap starting at the raceway and entering the vertical segment of the conduit.
  7. Select the raceway or cable trench.
  8. Select the equipment component(s) using either a frame box or the Ctrl key. The Raceway Properties displays where you can set the Conduit Type, Voltage Level, Capacity etc. for a single conduit.
    Note: When selecting several equipment components, some components will connect using different layers of raceways and conduits while some will connect using one layer and conduit. This dialogue will let the components that connect using one layer raceway/conduit to choose conduit type.
  9. Define the desired conduit properties and click OK. The conduits will be automatically placed in the drawing.
