New features 2020 Series - Wiring harness and Materials list
Electro Graphics releases the latest 2020 Series of electrical and photovoltaic design software. Here are the most important features and enhancements introduced about wiring harness in Cablo and about materials list in Tabula.

Multiple bundled cables connected to terminal blocks and connectors
For each cable in the project it is now possible to set a multiplier to define several cables in parallel connected to the same terminal block or connector. The number of cables in parallel appears in the cable lists and terminal boards, and in the list of materials (in Tabula).
Verification of compatibility of the section between terminals and connected conductors
A new feature allows you to check if the terminal section is adequate for the connected cables.
The software highlights in red the terminals connected to wires with a section not included in the minimum and maximum pre-set section limits for the terminal; if the data are not available the terminals are highlighted in yellow.
Coding of individual connections
It is now possible to code the individual connections present in the wiring diagram with an article taken from the Cables archive. This function is used to count the connections extracted from the automatic panel Routing, for the list of materials in Tabula.
The Summary of conductors printout specifies the designation, color, section, code, description and length of each conductor.
News in prints and exports
- The printout of the cable table processed in the wiring diagram can now list the cables ordered and grouped by function; this information can be edited in the cable properties in the Cablo software.
- The new "Cable list table" can be drawn in CADelet / iDEA / Eplus starting from any point in a diagram sheet. It is based on a series of graphic settings that can be customized and saved in profiles. The design automatically adds additional sheets if necessary.
- In the Cables archive it is now possible to manage cables with an unlimited number of conductors and for each one it is possible to define color and ordering.
- In the export of terminal plates it is now possible to customize the order of the plates in the created files. A new filter allows the plates to be extracted only for connections with selected characteristics (Power line, control signal, ...).
Customizing print profiles
It is now possible to save all the models of the documentation to be printed and the set of settings in customizable profiles.
Saved profiles can be used in new projects; it can be useful to define custom profiles based on the type of project or the client.
Each profile saves the list of predefined and custom print templates, and for each of them the list of printed information, all options active or not, page and title block customizations, specific translations.
Within a Tabula print profile it is also possible to disable certain prints in order to create a list of only documents of interest.
Quantity of spare parts in the bill of materials
The parts list is the list of materials in the bill of a project, for which a certain number of spare parts is provided. For each item in bill of materials it is possible to specify the Quantity of spare parts, as a numerical value or a percentage value applied to the preliminary quantity or to the final quantity.
The spare parts list can be edited quickly by exporting and importing an Excel spreadsheet. It can be printed with the items ordered and grouped by material code as well as location and function.
The supply time of the material can now be filled in the availability data of each article in the Articles archive (materials archive). Therefore it is a value used in the material lists in Tabula.
Parametric export of material and distinct archives
A new function performs the export of the list of material codes present in a list in a text file in order to allow the processing of the list by management software or customized third party procedures.
Deploying and updating database
For all device types present in the database, new series were introduced.
