5.12.11.18.2. Definition of the single cable elements in linear form

For each of the cable elements, a Name should exist (exception whole cable).

  • The following table shows the possible properties of the overall cable [Cable] (CNSELEK|8|2|1):

    Cables are on top level and do not have a parent element.

    Parameters Description Value
    IdentifierUnique namee.g. Cable_ID|0
    JacketMaterialInsulationString
    JacketColourColor of insulationDIN 47100 (example value)
    MinBendRadiusMinimal bend radius[mm]
    OuterDiameterOuter diameter[mm]
    NumberCoresTotal number of all coresInteger
    CopperNumberCopper number[kg/m]

  • The following table shows the possible properties of cable bund les [CableBundle] (CNSELEK|8|2|3), cable shielding [CableShield] (CNSELEK|8|2|4) and twisting [CableTwist] (CNSELEK|8|2|5):

    Parameters Description Value
    IdentifierUnique namee.g. CableTwist_ID|1
    NameNameSequential number

  • The following table shows the possible properties of cable cores [CableCore] (CNSELEK|8|2|2):

    Note: Cores are the lowest element within the recursive depiction of cables, which means they do not have child elements.

    For cores, the name is derived from the value of the color code of the insulation according to DIN 47100 and the diameter, which must be specified. This allows maximum portability of the cable data.

    Parameters Description Value
    IdentifierUnique namee.g. CableCore_ID|1|1
    NameCombination of color code of insulation according to DIN 47100 and diameterExample: RD-0,25mm²
    ColourColor of insulationaccording to DIN 47100
    CrossSectionCross section of copper conductor[mm²]
    OuterDiameterOuter diameter (incl. insulation)[mm²]

This attribute list can be flexibly enhanced if needed (preferably for the whole cable or cores). An example would be the inductivity of cable per meter (MicroHenry/m), etc.
