Automatic (Shortest Distance) Wire Routing

Connections in the standard promis•e wire list are determined by the position of devices in the schematic drawing. With Shortest Distance Routing, you generate a connection list that takes into account the physical location of components and wireways used in the layout page. The Shortest Distances feature analyzes the position of components and wireways and generates an optimized wire list. This "From-To" connection list, which includes wire lengths and optimum wire routing, provides a true "shortest distance" wire routing scheme. The shortest distance wire list can be very useful during panel assembly for those who do the actual wiring and troubleshooting of the components.

You also have the option of using the "wiring rules" method of generating a shortest distance wire list. The wiring rule version ensures that the wiring is done in a logical way that adheres to your company wiring practices. To accomplish this you define a custom wiring rule file in XML format that tells the Shortest Distance program how to wire the job. You can define multiple rule sets for different product lines. This allows you, for example, to automatically add the appropriate terminals and terminations for wiring between components and panels even if these do not appear in the schematics.

Wire Length Calculation Reports

This report automatically calculates a length for each wire based on wire routing information.

Komax® Wire Wizard

The promis•e shortest distance routing feature processes the schematic along with the panel layout to create a physical wire list of where wires will run and their length. The Wire Cutting Wizard for Komax is a tool for that lets you take this connection and wire length information and send it to a file that can be read by Komax automated wire-cutting machines. Among the features of the Komax Wire Wizard are:

Gauge Check Utility - This utility compares wire gauges assigned in your project to the allowed gauges for the parts to which they are connected. The software will then produce an error list of any wires that are undersized or oversized either in physical size or electrical rating.

Termination Assignment Utility - Using the Termination Editor, you can enter information on allowable terminations for various devices into a custom parts database. The assignment utility the automatically assigns a terminator (rings, lugs, forks, etc) to each connection in the connection list.

Custom Output Formatting Tool - This tool allows you to sort, filter and optimize the wire order to batch wires by panel, or to output wires in the order in which they will be used.
