Tech Tip: Creating Cable Ducts and/or Wire Combs in the E3.series Database

Menu

Cable ducts are special devices used in E3.panel that can be created with or without a definition in an E3.series database. These cable ducts can be created and placed on panel sheets; they’re used to route wires from one location to another. They can also be used with automatic routing functionality so the wires are routed from start to finish using the shortest path, which would be defined by the cable duct.

Mr. Petersen has been with Zuken since 1990. His broad range of knowledge and skills has enabled him to take on various roles dealing with hybrid/MCM tools and technologies, 3D PCB design and wire harness design, and tool deployment. Throughout his tenure with Zuken, his main responsibilities have included applications engineering with special attention to integrating solutions into customers’ working environments. Since 2004, Mr. Petersen’s area of focus is on wire harness design, both in pre-sales and integration and deployment roles, with special emphasis on tool integration with E3.series.

E3.panel Update: Rotating Electrical Components for Enhanced Control Panel Design

For decades 3D has been the state of the art in the world of mechanical design. In electronics and electrical engineering, 2D still holds its own, because here the logical schematic forms the basis for the entire design. The third dimension doesn't come into play until physical design - but 3D is becoming increasingly important there. Find out why on our blog.
