This option allows you to create a cable that does not have any cable sets or wires. You can use such cables in the early stages of your design and when creating cable block diagrams where it is not necessary to specify cable types, the number of sets and wires in the cables, and so forth.
-
Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer, or press F8 to open the Reference Explorer.
-
Right-click the Cables folder and then select New > Cable.
-
On the Cable Configuration dialog, select New.

On the New Cable Configuration dialog, under Number of cable sets, type 0 (zero).
-
Select OK.
-
On the Cable Configuration dialog, select Save and then Create.
-
On the Cable Properties dialog, enter the cable properties as you require.
Because cables without cable sets and wires are useful during the early stages of
plant design and when creating cable block diagrams, the only cable property that
you need to enter is the cable name. You can populate the other properties when you
apply a reference cable to this cable.

Select OK.
