Methodology Block Diagram Input System Signals Connecting Signals Cable Connection Verification Wiring (Drawing) Wiring Verification

Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram Reuse previously known good modules by importing them from the Catalog. Contains the plugs, pins and the ICD signals System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Draw the System Block diagram using Engineering Base Re-Use Existing LRUs New LRUs Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

System signals can be Inserted in few ways: Importing from Excel files Entered manually Mapped from Device ICD signals to a System signals. Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Connecting by LRU Plugs & Pin number or by the mapped ICD Signals Each signal can have Signals Class and also Wiring Comments or any other predefined Signal’s attribute Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Two levels of messages Errors – You need to resolve the errors before continuing Warnings – Important to review Verification rules: Signal is connected to one pin Predefined rules based on any attribute of connected pins Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Used by the System Engineer Helps while specifying Wires & Cable For the Software (Able to suggest) For the User (Better understanding of the requirements) Makes it possible to validate the equipment of the harness Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Signal names are displayed automatically preventing human errors Wiring comments and connectivity information is available. Color guides through the connection process Connections are verified.

Added Value Re-use Retrieving ICD information Signal Mapping ICD Signals to System Signals Signal Name suggestions Auto Complete Merging of same signals Ease of use Sorting – By any column Filtering– Both Wildcard and Regular Expressions Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Added Value (Cont’d) Signal Connecting Tooltips – Signal name / Pin name / Used pins indication Auto connection - By signal names Drawing Tools Semi Automatic Drawing – Placement & Signal Assignment Assistant – Highlight connected pins(by signal/pin) Wiring Verification Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

-ICD Signals are used differently in different projects -Added names of source and destinations -Meanings in the Device Scope differ in the System Scope -ICD signal VCC can easily be +5V in a system. -Mappings imply on connections -Automated connection of pins according to signal mappings Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

System signals are suggested on the fly from the list of system signals. Select with Up/Down accept by Enter or with mouse. Note: all system signals are shown Note: You can enter a new name. System signals are suggested on the fly from the list of system signals. Select with Up/Down accept by Enter or with mouse. Note: all system signals are shown Note: You can enter a new name. System signals That were already mapped. ICD Signals to be Mapped Variety of tools are available to use.

While you move through connecting the pins, you are suggested by your previous mapping and ICD’s Alternatively if mapping is available, Search for pin using it’s Mapped Signal. Connect WH-1 J3 pin 1 To Signal BATT1+. Used Pin Indicator: Pins that are in use are unavailable and flagged. Used Pin Indicator: Pins that are in use are unavailable and flagged.

Auto Connection of mappings If ICD signals were mapped to system signals, you may wish to apply implied connections automatically Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

Either by the same user or another, after changes were applied to the project, the system is able to draw a first draft of the wiring diagram. with 3 simple operations: 1.Create a sheet of your choice 2.Associate the Harness with the sheet. 3.Right Click the drawing Choose “AutoDraw” Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

No matter if drawing was done automatically or manually, You may use the assistant to guide you with connecting the harness. By Selecting a Signal from the List, the assistant will list all the connections, and paint them on the drawing with Red Option2: Selecting a PIN Pins to be connected Highlighting the “Pins” Option1: Selecting a Signal Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value

The harness connectors pins that have a connection will be placed sheet signal association. Engineering Base will make sure you are connecting the correct pins. If not, a red color will appear on the short circuit Methodology Reuse blocks Block Diagram System Signals Connect Signals Connection Check Drawing (Wiring) Drawing Comparison Added Value
