Electrical workflow

Boards, devices, cables and trays, circuits and calculations, schematics and control pages.

  1. Boards and devices. VMINSTALL: switchboards (with their codes), luminaires, sockets, switches, detectors, data outlets, racks and panels.
  2. Cables. VMCABLE chains devices and ends at the board; the circuit is asked at the end.
  3. Cable routes. VMTRAY for trays, ladders, trunking and conduit; VMPACKET to the board; VMCABLEROUTE moves the cables onto the trays; VMSUPPORTS and VMCABLEFILL.
  4. Check and calculate. VMCIRCUITS checks the installation; VMELCALC gives loads, cable and protection checks, voltage drop and short circuit; VMBUSADDR addresses fire alarm loops.
  5. Documents. VMSCHEMA draws a board's single-line schematic; the Circuit Designer draws control pages (VMCDCIRCUITPAGE), cross references, terminal strips and lists.
