Empowered Design Tools
- IPC Wire A-620 Wire Tolerancing Standards
- Harness tolerancing blocks placed on a formboard to follow the IPC wire A-620 standard. The standard adjusts the size of the wire to increase on a sliding scale based on the routed length.
- The tolerance setting options can be in imperial units, metric units, or a percentage. These settings are read from the drawing, therefore, configurable for individual harnesses.
- Formboard Copilot
- Formboard Co-pilot is a drafting tool to simplify creating a harness on a size constrained formboard.
- The exact length of branches and trunks is always a challenge to manage perfectly the first time around wrapping a harness around a size constrained formboard when the length is known in advance.
- Standardized shareable configuration
- The expanded level of automation in Harness Builder for E3.sereis 2020 brings additional configuration options. Teams can now create a standard configuration using the import and export settings options
- Wire color details on multiple connector views
- Documenting a harness with the color of the wire connected to a pin is beneficial in increasing wiring efficiency.
- The previous limitation of a single view capable of displaying wire colors forced the user to select a connector loading view.
- With the 2020 update, both the loading views and table views of the harness can display the wire colors on the pins.
- In addition to the color, configurable wire attributes can be displayed for additional detail.
