Parameter control for modules

The parameter window allows convenient input and definition of racks without specific prior knowledge regarding assemblies or parameters.

Example

Creating a basic rack by means of parameter input mask

  1. Open the catalog window and the Tegometall catalog.
  2. Read a socket assembly into your planning (e.g. S1647CA).
  3. Then read in a corresponding backplane assembly (e.g. GL081614C4).
  4. Now enter the assembly key for the shelf in the catalog window (e.g. MB147C) and confirm with [ENTER].
  5. Now click on the red symbol next to the parameter input. The following input window then opens.
  6. In the "Start point" field, for example, enter 0.5 under "Distance" 0.4 and under "Number of row" 2, in each case only in the "Height position" row.
  7. Now click the Position Objects in Plan + DONE button further down.
  8. Now the first two shelves were read into the drawing and placed at the corresponding position.
  9. Next, enter another assembly key (e.g. MB137C) in the item search of the catalog window and press [ENTER].
  10. Then click on the red symbol again to get to the parameter control.
  11. In the "Start point" field, for example, enter 1.3 under "Distance" 0.4 and under "Number of row" 2, again only in the "Height position" line.
  12. Now click the "Position objects in plan + DONE" button again.
  13. Now more shelves are read into the drawing.
  14. The process is now finished or you read in further accessories according to this scheme.
  15. As a last step, select the entire shelf and click on "Create group" in the Shopfitting tab and assign a desired name there. This name will then also be output during automatic labeling or displayed when creating a position sheet.
