6 Overview - SISpro building 2.1 SISpro building 2.1 SISpro building is a comprehensive work tool used to design and calculate electrical equipment for buildings. It is used to: structure a project into functional zones representative of the organisation of the building to be equipped, design electrical equipment (switchboards and enclosures) for the installation: choice of equipment, organisation of electrical cabling, mounting in the switchboard, draw up a quotation for the installation with the option of comparing several technical or sales solutions, create order forms, print or export data obtained to your standard office automation software: - equipment lists, - equipment single-line diagrams, - switchboard front panel drawings, - mounting documents, - quotation, - order forms, You have various options for adapting software behaviour to your working preferences and habits. For example you can customise window display, customise menus and tool bars and define the folders in which data are saved. Page 6

7 Overview - The various project steps The various project steps A project is completed in 5 main steps. Project This step consists of defining various pieces of administrative information for the project. This information may then be used in the project documents such as front panel drawings, quotations or order forms. For more details, see Enter project information (p.14). Design In this step: You structure the project into functional zones representative of the organisation of the building to be equipped. You design electrical equipment and define technical data: choice of equipment, device electrical cabling, mounting of devices in wall mounted or floor standing enclosures. You can also generate the front panel drawings of switchboards and create identification labels for wall mounted enclosures. For more details, see Design step (p.18). Single line diagram In this step, you may launch the automatic generation of single-line diagrams for the various equipments of the project. You can choose the equipment to take into account. For more details, see Generate single-line diagrams (p.192). Quotation In this step, you draw up the project quotation. You can create a number of quotations for comparison purposes. These quotations may correspond to different technical solutions (different equipment content) or to different calculation solutions (services, margins, discounts, forced prices). For more details, see Quotation step (p.196). Order form In this step, you create the order forms intended for your suppliers. For more details, see Order form step (p.220).

10 Overview - The SISpro building window Menu bar The menu bar presents, in drop-down menus, the commands required to use the software. Some commands are also available: by a combination of keyboard keys (indicated to the right of the command in the menu), by a button in the tool bars. Many commands are also available in contextual menus. The menu bar may be customised (p.253). Tool bars Tool bars offer quick access to the most frequently used commands. In the tool bars, each command is represented by a button. A help bubble is associated with each button and appears when you leave the mouse for a few seconds on the button. Several tool bars are predefined in the software. Each one contains a certain number of commands grouped by theme. All the tool bars can be customised (p.253). You can remove the commands that you do not use, add other commands and create new tool bars. Step bar The step bar lets you access the various project completion steps. For more details, see The various project steps (p.7). The icon of the current step is displayed with orange background. Workspace The content of this part of the window depends on the current step. For more details, consult the detailed description of the workspace of each step: Enter project information (p.14) Design step window (p.19) Single line diagram step window (p.192) Quotation step window (p.197) Order form step window (p.221) Status bar The status bar presents a variety of information such as the purpose of the command selected in the menu bar or in a tool bar and indication of keyboard locking in CAPS mode and activation of the numerical keypad.

11 Overview - Important notions Important notions Opening of a project prior to SISpro building 2.1 You can open projects created with previous versions of SISpro building (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3). Prisma Plus switchboards are retrieved in equipment of the Prisma Plus switchboard type. Placing in the enclosure is kept. Prisma switchboards are retrieved in equipment of the Prisma Plus switchboard type, but only the product list is retrieved, mounting in the switchboard must be repeated. Kaedra switchboards are retrieved in equipment of the Modular enclosure type. Placing in the enclosure is kept. Pragma switchboards are retrieved in equipment of the Modular enclosure type, but only the product list is retrieved, mounting in the switchboard must be repeated. The other equipment types are retrieved in equipment of the Other type. Only the product lists are retrieved and all the properties are re-initialised. Opening of a project after updating the price list The date of the current price list is given in the title bar of the Design step window (1 (p.19)). When a project is opened, if the price list used for this project is not the current one, a message appears. You can then: Update the project. The quotation calculation is updated and the project can then be used normally. Not update the project. In this case, the calculation is not modified. The project can be consulted or printed. But if you modify it and then want to save it, the calculation will be updated with the new price list. In order to keep the old project as it is, you will then receive a proposal to save the modified project under a new name. See also: Update the price list (p.258) Secured equipment Equipment that is secured is equipment of the Prisma Plus switchboard or Modular enclosure type whose products were installed in a switchboard. SISpro building offers switchboard installation tools used to prepare technical solutions made up of consistent products. In order to guarantee consistency, once installed in a switchboard, the products can only be modified or deleted with the appropriate design tools. The equipment is then said to be secured and the products installed in the switchboard are in turn secured. To differentiate these products from non secured products, they are displayed in red in the Design step window. Secured products cannot be modified or deleted without the switchboard design tools, but additional products can be added. As long as they have not been installed in the switchboard, the products added are not secured and are displayed in black. Secured equipment can be unsecured. Its products are then redisplayed in black and it can be modified, but all information concerning installation in the switchboard is lost (mounting on functional units, placing in enclosure, accessories of weatherproof modular enclosures). Electrical relationships are kept however. SISpro building 2.1 Page 11

12 Overview - Important notions Functional names can always be modified, whether or not the equipment is secured. Equipment variant SISpro building allows several technical solutions to be compared for the same switchboard. For this purpose, an item of equipment will be created for each solution and then this equipment will be calculated separately in various quotations. For example, you can create two equipment items, one based on Prisma Plus enclosures, the other on Pragma enclosures, then create two quotations in which you select either one item of equipment or the other, and thus compare the two solutions. Quotation variant Quotation variants are used to compare a number of sales proposals for the same project. These proposals involve various items of equipment, services and sales adjustments (margins and thus selling prices). A quotation variant is based on: the list of equipment to be considered (see Equipment variant above), the discounts obtained from suppliers for equipment, the additional services, the margins to be applied to the equipment, the workshop labour and the on-site labour. Each quotation variant is individually registered. The following parameters are saved: the list and price of each product, the discounts, margin rates and VAT rates, the services. All technical modifications (in design) on an item of equipment are automatically passed on to all the quotation variants including this item of equipment. Page 12

Presents the characteristics of the equipment selected in the Building General View. SISpro building 2.1 Page 21

22 Design step - Create equipment Create equipment Introduction Equipment are entities with a specific functional role (LV switchboard, power incomer, emergency lighting, fire, etc.). This equipment contains the products. Equipment can be grouped into functional zones. For example, a functional zone can be created for each floor of a building and the building electrical installation equipment will be divided up into these functional zones. Functional zones do not contain products. They are used only to structure the project. Products can only be placed in equipment. Equipment is characterised by its type. There are 3 equipment types: Prisma Plus switchboard for electrical switchboards created with the front panel mounting and generation wizards Modular enclosure for electrical switchboards created with specific front panel mounting and generation wizards for modular or weatherproof enclosures (e.g. Pragma or Kaedra switchboards). Other for all other equipment types For switchboard and enclosure type equipment, you can enter additional characteristics such as nominal current, short-circuit current and the degree of protection. This information is used for switchboard design. Equipment can be required in a number of copies. The quantity required appears next to the equipment name in the Building General View (for example 2 x main LV switchboards). However, the quantities given for products correspond to a single copy of the equipment. For example, if an equipment item is required in 2 copies and if it contains the same circuit-breaker 3 times, in the product list for this equipment item, the circuit-breaker will be displayed with the quantity 3 and not 6. The type of equipment can be changed at any time. The additional characteristics are then lost. Changing a secured equipment type makes this equipment insecure. For more details, see Secured equipment (p.11). Page 22

69 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Choice of products for a Prisma Plus switchboard Presentation You can add products to the switchboard during its production. For this you can use most of the methods designed to add products to equipment: search in catalogues, search by part number, search in favourites, use of preconfigured assemblies, addition of products not referenced in the catalogues, copy of switchboard products. You can also delete products and modify the chosen product characteristics.. Below are comments on use of preconfigured assemblies and a description of a quick method to delete products from the list of Selected components. For more details on the other possibilities, refer to Choice of equipment products (p.25). Use of preconfigured assemblies Preconfigured assemblies can be used to create switchboards quickly. You can save in the form of preconfigured assemblies parts of switchboards and even complete switchboards. For example, you can save in a preconfigured assembly a fully installed column. To create a new switchboard, you must retrieve this preconfigured assembly that you will use as a starting base and then complete the installation manually or using the software wizards. A preconfigured assembly can be created from components selected in the list of Selected components, in the Cabling, or in the Switchboard design tab. When you retrieve a preconfigured assembly: the original components in the list of Selected components are replaced in this list, in the appropriate topic, the original components in the Switchboard design tab are replaced in this tab, for original components of Cabling, the electrical relations are saved. Delete products from the list of Selected Components You can delete products from the list of Selected components by selecting one or more products in the same topic or in different topics, then by using the standard deletion commands (Del key or Delete command). However, you also have a specific function allowing you to delete all the products in a topic: 1. Click on the topic from which you wish to delete products with the right mouse button, then choose Delete components in the contextual menu. 2. A confirmation message will appear. Choose Yes. If this is the Mounted devices topic, a second message will appear. Choose No. If you choose Yes, the devices are not deleted but are sent to the Selected components topic.

71 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Definition of characteristics for a Prisma Plus switchboard Presentation One of the first steps in switchboard production consists of: defining the configuration initial parameters (electrical characteristics, required number of free rows, type of partitioning for cubicles, type of doors, enclosure range), specifying whether terminals must be calculated and whether the incoming device must be managed, defining the mounting and connection options and the choice of terminals. Switchboard electrical characteristics These are the electrical characteristics entered on equipment creation, that you can modify if necessary: Switchboard nominal current Short-circuit current at the incoming point Required degree of protection Free rows Free rows represent the space that you wish to keep available in the switchboard to install future items of equipment. This space is given as a percentage. For more details, see View the free row percentage in a Prisma Plus switchboard (p.109). Cubicle partitioning You can choose a level of protection for products when they are mounted in the cubicle. Form 1 corresponds to the lowest protection and Form 3 to the highest protection. Horizontal partitioning between modular functional units may be required for form 3. See option Generate partitionings between modular FUs in the configure application tab Installation (p.121). Type of door Choice of door proposed depends on the switchboard IP. Manage terminals When this option is selected, the automatic design wizards include the terminal calculation step. For more details, see Calculate power terminals (p.79). Manage incoming device When this option is selected, the software distinguishes the incoming device from the other devices. For more details, see Manage the incoming device (p.70). Choice of enclosure range The enclosure ranges proposed depend on the characteristics and options selected. SISpro building 2.1 Page 71

72 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) If you choose the Wall mounted enclosure/floor standing enclosure range or the Cubicle range, the corresponding sheet model is automatically selected. For more details, see the option: Sheet model in the configure application tab Display (p.119). If you choose the PACK range, all the functions concerning device mounting (p.81) on functional units are de-activated and the Mounted devices topic is deleted from the list of Selected components. If this topic contains mounted devices, a message will appear. You can then: Either re-initialise the configuration, in which case only the switchgear is kept: products are disassembled and placed in the Devices topic and the functional units are deleted. Or keep everything, in which case the products are disassembled and placed in the Devices topic and the functional units are placed in the Accessories topic. In this case, if you choose another range at a later stage, the functional units are replaced in the Mounted devices topic.

78 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Device mounting order Presentation The devices will be installed in the order of the list of Selected components. It is thus important to define the order of this list before starting to mount. You can organise the list of components manually or use the automatic sort functions. Sort devices automatically Products Sort selected components 3 sort modes: in cabling order by cabling level by device rating Result Guided design wizard - Step 4 4 sort modes: in cabling order in product choice order by device rating by cabling level Move devices manually To move devices in the list of Selected components, use the Cut and Paste commands in the Edit menu or drag them using the mouse. Page 78

79 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Calculate power terminals Presentation The downstream connection point of the protective devices may be transferred to power terminals placed in a peripheral zone of the switchboard that is easily accessible. A wizard will let you automatically calculate the number of terminals required for configuration as whole and adds the relevant products to the product list. The calculation takes into account all the end modular devices of the switchboard (except for the incoming device and group incomers), but only the electrically connected devices if the cabling (p.48) has been done. Devices for which terminals cannot be determined correctly are ignored. For each device considered, the wizard determines the group of terminals attached to it. The number and size of terminals are calculated below: the rating (In) and the number of poles of the devices, the type of cable used, the types of terminals defined in the configuration for the various device ratings. After the calculation, you can add additional terminals by choosing them in the catalogues. These terminals are added to the terminals calculated. The terminals are placed in the Terminals topic of the list of Selected components and the devices connected to terminals are identified by a specific icon in the list of Selected components and in the Cabling window. The terminals can be calculated for the entire switchboard or for isolated devices. Choice of options Options Types of cable Type of default cable Types of terminal Where See Configure choice of terminals (p.74) Calculate terminals for the entire configuration Result Wizard Calculate terminals Opens the window Calculate terminals If the switchboard already contains terminals, a message asks you whether you want to keep them.

81 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Mount devices on functional units Presentation Some devices, said to be functionalised, can be installed on suitable supports known as functional units. Mounting consists of choosing the necessary functional units and placing the devices on these functional units. The mounting wizard performs this operation automatically with various checking levels according to the chosen options. It automatically selects the necessary functional units, then installs the devices, grouping them on the same functional unit whenever possible. You can also manually mount devices on an existing functional unit. In the PACK range (p.91), the devices are placed directly on the enclosure modular rails: there is thus no mounting on functional units. The personal catalogue products whose type of vignette is Modular device or Terminal can be mounted on functional units. For more details, see Modify the personal catalogue (p.32) and Description of the Part Number window (p.33), Type of vignette fields. Choice of options Option For automatic mounting wizards: Level of assistance Detailed: you will validate step by step mounting of each device and check each choice proposed by the software. Assisted: your intervention will be required to validate certain mounting options. Automatic: mounting is performed automatically, without any action on your part.

After consultation, click on OK to continue. The dialogue box presenting the characteristics (p.29) for device mounting appears to allow you to choose another connection solution. Choose the mounting options, then click on Memorise. Automatic mounting Mounting is performed fully automatically, including when the connection default configuration is not suitable. In this case, the wizard choses other mounting options. Mount devices on an existing functional unit Mounting is possible only if the functional unit is compatible with the devices and if it has sufficient space. If there is no mounting solution, a message will warn you of this and mounting will be cancelled. In the list of Selected components, select (p.278) the devices to be mounted, then drag them with the mouse and place them in the Mounted devices topic on the functional unit on which you want to mount them. Please note If you select a comb busbar or a distribution block in the characteristics of a modular functional unit, the chosen distribution block will appear in the Mounted devices section under the functional unit. If you mount a device group (p.50) on an existing functional unit, the distribution block of the functional unit is replaced by that of the group. When you mount a device group (p.50) without a distribution block on a functional unit containing a distribution block and on which non-grouped devices are mounted, the functional unit moves to the wire to wire mode. Remove the devices from a functional unit You can remove the devices from the functional units on which they are mounted. The disassembled devices are sent back to the Devices topic in the list of Selected components. The devices can be disassembled selectively, but you can also disassemble all together all the devices of the Mounted devices section and delete the functional units and mounting accessories found in this topic.

87 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Install products in a Prisma Plus switchboard Presentation You have a graphic space (Switchboard design tab) in which you can assemble the switchboard and obtain the drawing of its front panel. Installation consists of placing the enclosures in the drawing space, then storing the products inside the enclosures. The drawing space contains 4 pages. Only one page is displayed at any given time but you can easily change page (p.104) thanks to two tool bar buttons. You can choose page size as well as the title block in the sheet model (p.111). Installation is possible automatically or manually. Automatic installation is a two-step process: 1. Placing in enclosure The placing in enclosure wizard automatically places in the Switchboard design tab all the wall mounted and floor standing enclosures present in the Enclosures topic of the list of Selected components. It also installs the vertical busbars or reserves sufficient space in the enclosures for the horizontal busbars. The busbars in the ducts are installed in one duct out of two. 2. Device installation The device installation wizard automatically places in the wall mounted and floor standing enclosures present in the Switchboard design tab all the functional units of the Mounted devices topic in the list of Selected components (in the PACK range, all the devices in the Devices topic). Manual installation consists of placing the graphic representation of the products in the Switchboard design tab, using the mouse. Please note Accessories cannot be placed in the switchboard design space. Personal catalogue products can be installed in the switchboard. They are represented on the front panel drawing by a grey rectangle whose dimensions must be defined in the catalogue. For more details, see Modify the personal catalogue (p.32) and Description of the Part Number window (p.33), fields Height or length, Width, Depth. Devices mounted on functional units are presented centred in height on the modular rails. Install enclosures automatically To check before beginning To start the wizard, the current page in the Switchboard design tab must be empty or contain only preconfigured assemblies (p.69).

90 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Functional Unit / Busbar incompatibilities In some cases use of busbars in the switchgear zone may result in incompatibility with functional units installed in the same place. When installing products in the switchboard, compatibility between functional units and busbars is checked by the software. When installation is performed automatically, products are placed as per the defined installation order and the busbar is cut at the point of the non compatible functional unit. On manual installation, drawing modification (displacement, modification of busbar size) or characteristics modification, if an incompatibility is detected, a variety of solutions are proposed. In some cases the operation is simply refused. In other cases you can: Cancel the operation. Keep the installation as it is. In this case, the incompatibility must be solved on physical installation of the products. Cut the busbar. In this case, the busbar is cut just before the first non compatible functional unit (Note: the cut piece cannot be re-used by the software). Resizing tools (p.272) are used to adjust busbar length in the drawing (without affecting the product part number). In the duct, busbars and functional units are always incompatible. Page 90

91 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Range of PACK enclosures The PACK offer is an offer of enclosures equipped with modular rails. In this enclosure type, you can install modular devices, terminals, an isolated compact busbar. Devices and terminals are directly placed on the enclosure modular rails, without it being necessary to mount them on functional units. Consequently, if you choose the PACK range in the switchboard characteristics (p.71), all the functions concerning mounting of devices on functional units are disabled. The Mount and Unmount commands no longer appear in the Products menu and the Mounted devices topic is deleted from the list of Selected components (5 (p.57)). If this topic contains mounted devices, the products are unmounted, the switchgear is placed in the Devices topic and the functional units are either deleted or placed in the Accessories topic. In this case, if you choose another range later on, the functional units are replaced in the Mounted devices topic. On choice of switchboard architecture (p.85), the software proposes a PACK solution if the product list is compatible with this range and if all the devices (allowing for the requested free rows) fit into a single enclosure. The devices are automatically placed on the modular rails from left to right and from top to bottom or from bottom to top according to the option chosen in the application configuration (tab Installation (p.121), optioninstallation direction). The terminals are placed on the modular rails opposite the devices, starting from the bottom or from the top according to the device installation direction. The busbar is installed over the ull height of the enclosure. The modular devices can be installed on the enclosure rails or on the door. The terminals are installed on the rails. A magnetisation system helps you to align the devices on the rails and to anchor them to one another. The enclosures can be turned over (p.101) in order to change the door opening direction. The busbars are installed in the dedicated zone found on the left in alignment with the enclosure upright. They are positioned between the framework and mounting plate levels. Vertical positioning and busbar length can be modified using the drawing tools (p.272). SISpro building 2.1 Page 91

92 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Install horizontal busbars When installing a horizontal busbar in the switchboard, the busbar can be positioned only at the top or bottom of the switchboard according to the option chosen in the application configuration (tab Installation (p.121), optioninstallation direction). When it is installed, it cannot be moved inside the switchboard, but it can be taken out of the switchboard. The supports required to secure this busbar are calculated automatically and added to the list of components. In event of modification of the busbar, for example modification of its length or of its characteristics, the existing supports are re-evaluated. As applicable, useless supports are deleted or new supports are added. Page 92

93 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Install Human-Switchboard Interfaces (HSI) This type of product is installed on special supports that can be secured either to pre-cut doors or in the switchgear zone. The enclosures proposed by the software automatically have options appropriate to installation of this type of product (e.g. pre-cut special door, transparent door, duct, etc.) according to the installation preferences defined in the mounting and connection options (p.73). The software never installs devices behind HSIs placed on a door, but you can manually move devices to place them in this space. SISpro building 2.1 Page 93

94 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Associate enclosures Some enclosure types can be connected by means of association kits. When you attach two enclosures of this type in the Switchboard design tab, the software detects this association and proposes an association kit. If you accept, a connecting element is materialised between the two enclosures in the form of a small blue rectangle and the association kit is added to the product list. To be associated, the enclosures must have the same configuration: same height, without base or with a base of the same height, for horizontal associations, same width, without base for the top enclosure, for vertical associations. An association kit is generated for each enclosure adjacent to the enclosure added. The association kits generated cannot be modified but can be deleted. A deleted association kit can be recreated by separating the enclosures then re-associating them. If an enclosure is separated from the assembly (by modification, displacement, deletion of the drawing), the useless association kits are automatically deleted from the list of part numbers. The ducts are automatically delivered with an association kit, included in the duct part numbers. Consequently, when a duct is attached to an enclosure, the association kit is not materialised. However, in the event of an enclosure-duct-enclosure association, an association kit is materialised for the second duct-enclosure association. The association kits are not available for floor standing enclosures and cubicles. Page 94

97 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) To check before starting The devices will be installed in the switchboard in the order of the list of Selected components. Before starting the wizard, remember to organise the list of components (p.78). To start the wizard, the current page of the Switchboard design tab must be empty or contain only preconfigured assemblies (p.69). If this is not the case, display an empty page (p.104), or remove from the switchboard (p.100) the products that are not part of a preconfigured assembly. Use the wizard Result Wizard Automatic placing in enclosure Placing in the enclosure is started If the type of enclosure is not specified in the switchboard characteristics, it is possible that after choosing the enclosure, the wizard will automatically change the sheet model to ensure it matches the type of enclosure selected (wall mounted enclosure/floor standing enclosure or cubicle). For more details, see the option Sheet model in the configure application tab application Display (p.119). If the size of the page of the new sheet model is insufficient to contain the configuration, the Choice of sheet model window will appear to propose the right page format. Modify choice of title block if necessary and click on OK to finish generating the switchboard. Please note When several devices are placed on the same functional unit, they are installed from left to right. In the PACK range (p.91), the devices are placed directly on the enclosure modular rails. The preconfigured assemblies (p.38) already installed in the Switchboard design tab are not modified by the wizard. For example, no products will be automatically installed in a column of a preconfigured assembly even if there is room to do so. If you want to modify the composition of a preconfigured assembly, you must do so manually. SISpro building 2.1 Page 97

98 Design of a Prisma Plus switchboard - Automatic placing in enclosure (Prisma Plus) Finishing the Prisma Plus switchboard Presentation Switchboard finishing consists of completing the switchboard by closing the unoccupied spaces of the front panel by plain front plates and installing side panels and canopies. This operation can be performed automatically or manually. Automatic finishing of the switchboard Presentation The switchboard finishing wizard completes the switchboard by automatically closing the unoccupied spaces of the front panel by plain front plates and installing side panels and canopies. The front plates are automatically generated with the height required to fill empty spaces, but allowing for the maximum height specified in the configuration. For cubicles, the side panelling included in the list of Selected components is automatically positioned on each side of the first group of cubicles that does not already contain panelling. This panelling also includes the side panelling of the bases. For enclosures, if a canopy is required, it is positioned as far left as possible of the first enclosure present. It can then be repositioned manually.

At the end of installation, the free rows actually available are displayed in the status bar. The free rows represent the ratio between: the space taken up by the devices with respect to the space available on functional mounting plates, the space taken up by the functional mounting plates with respect to the space available in the wall mounted and floor standing enclosures. Calculation takes into account: the overall dimensions of the devices mounted on functional mounting plate whether or not they are installed in enclosures (i.e. present in the Mounted devices topic or in the Switchboard design space), the space available in the chosen wall mounted and floor standing enclosures whether they are present in the Enclosures section or in the Switchboard design space, for PACK enclosures (p.91), the space available on the rails. It does not take into account the devices present in the Devices topic or those placed in the Switchboard design space but which have not been mounted on a functional mounting plate. The free rows are equal to 0% as long as no wall mounted or floor standing enclosures have been chosen. Following the choice of a wall mounted or floor standing enclosure, they are equal to 100% as long as no devices have been mounted. The calculation may indicate that free rows remain, even if there is no more space to add a functional mounting plate. This means that space remains for switchgear on certain functional mounting plates. SISpro building 2.1 Page 109

134 Design of a modular enclosure - Automatic placing in modular enclosure Definition of modular enclosure characteristics Presentation One of the first steps in producing a switchboard consists of defining: The electrical characteristics of the switchboard These are the electrical characteristics entered when the equipment is created. You can modify them if necessary. They are: Switchboard nominal current, required degree of protection. The enclosure range You can choose between two ranges of modular enclosures: standard enclosures and weatherproof enclosures. Define the switchboard characteristics Result Equipment General characteristics Displays switchboard characteristics Page 134

135 Design of a modular enclosure - Automatic placing in modular enclosure Choice of products for a modular enclosure Presentation You can add products to the switchboard being produced. For this you have at your disposal most of the methods designed to add products to an equipment: search in the catalogues, search by part number, search in favourites, use of preconfigured assemblies, addition of products not referenced in the catalogues, copying switchboard products. You can also delete products and modify the characteristics of the chosen products. You will find below comments concerning the use of preconfigured assemblies and a description of a quick method for deleting products in the list of Selected components. For more details about the other possibilities, refer tochoice of equipment products (p.25). Use of preconfigured assemblies Preconfigured assemblies can be used to create switchboards quickly. You can save in the form of preconfigured assemblies parts of a switchboard and even complete switchboards. To create a new switchboard, you can, for example, retrieve a preconfigured assembly that you will use as an initial base and complete the installation manually or using the software wizards. A preconfigured assembly can be created from the components selected in the list of Selected components, in the Cabling, or in the Switchboard design tab. When you retrieve a preconfigured assembly: the original components in the list of Selected components are replaced in this list, in the appropriate topic, the original components in the Switchboard design tab are replaced in this tab, for the original components of the Cabling, the electrical relations are preserved. Delete products from the list of Selected components You can delete products from the list of Selected components by selecting the product to be deleted, then using the standard deletion commands (Del key or Delete command). However you also have a specific function allowing you to delete all the products from a topic: 1. Click on the topic whose products you want to delete using the mouse right button, then choose Delete components in the contextual menu or in the Edit menu. 2. A confirmation message will appear.
