5.12.11.27. Classification
certification levels
Validated
electrical parts contain important information like mounting points,
symbols, alternative views, technical parameters, classifications, part
numbers, etc.
In addition to
material master data, all necessary electrical information is provided which
is required for the creation of the circuit diagram, the switch cabinet
layout, and wiring and for the creation of the cable harness.
Catalogs can have
three different certification levels:
Basic - Geometric component data:
Material
master data
Preview
image
3D shape
(STEP)
Certified - Geometric component data enriched with electrical characteristics:
Component
type (currently terminals and connectors)
Circuit
symbols
3D
representation with connection points
Master-slave relationships
Connection points with names and symbol and
component assignments
Cross-section definitions at the connection
points
Positioning information for the control
cabinet
Premium - Comprehensive classification:
Parts which
also have accessory or relationship intelligence
All
eCl@ss component attributes
Mating
connectors for plugged connection points
Connection type, connection direction and
number of permitted wires at the connection point.
Slots for
additional parts and information on restricted areas
In order to classify components accordingly, a BMEcat eCl@ss Advanced Import can be carried out.
Following section
shows the attribute mapping for terminals and connectors between eCl@ss
ADVANCED attributes how they are available after a BMEcat import and the
respective E3.series components and the respective certification
level.
