For the end preparation, the interface does not offer different methods. The PDS conform method for standardizing the end preparation is in the commodity code or on S.20.08.

The software searches for the end preparation first in the commodity code; if it is not found, the program searches for a mapping on S.20.08. If it is also not found on S.20.08, the end preparation will not be found.

If the information concerning the end preparation is stored in a linked table, the PDS interface will also be able to find the information as long as the translation on A.50.I.01 is made.

The map name on A.50.I.01 must be CL330. You can also have the red and the green end connection in one table. To do so, it is necessary to use another attribute (for example, ATTR_CHAR3) where you want to define the red connect point. The place of the attribute is not important, but the name must be ACL330. If such an attribute is found in the table that is translated with CL330 on A.50.I.01, the value of this attribute will be used to fill in the red connect point of PCD.

For some components (for example, flanges), it may be required that the end connection must be stored in another table than the one mapped with CL330 on A.50.I.01. In such a case, you can define a translation for another end connection table on A.50.I.01 that is called CL330_1. If the commodity code detail or the linked table of commodity code details contains a table that is translated with CL330_1, it will be used before the one mapped with CL330.

The PDS interface will then pick up the green connection from the table mapped with CL330_1. It will take the attribute with the name CL330 on this table. The place does not matter.

The red connection will be picked up from the table mapped with CL330 from attribute CL330. Also, here the name of the attribute is important, not the place.

You must enter into the Source field the attribute of the table in which the PDS end preparation number can be found for the green end and for the red end, if they exist.

The following possibilities exist:

  • Table Detail - value in TD Code is taken

  • S.20.I.01 - translated value from S.20.I.01 is taken

  • ATTR_CHAR1 - value of ATTR_CHAR1 is taken

  • ATTR_CHAR2 - value of ATTR_CHAR2 is taken

  • ATTR_CHAR3 - value of ATTR_CHAR3 is taken

  • ATTR_NUM1 - value of ATTR_NUM1 is taken

  • ATTR_NUM2 - value of ATTR_NUM2 is taken

  • ATTR_NUM3 - value of ATTR_NUM3 is taken

Additionally, the connect group must be entered into the table for the end preparation at any variable attribute. The connect group is a value that is used for the generation of the physical data file name. So it is information that is not necessary for the PCD generation, but only for the geometric data.

The Connect Group field contains connect group information.

  1. If we have two endprep tables, the connect group for the red and green end is simply looked up on the attribute defined on the PDS 10.01 configuration screen.

  2. If we have one endprep table, the green end works as under 1), but there is no place to define a second connect group. The red connect group is looked up the following way:

    1. Find the endprep for the red end: For example, table detail "AR" in the table "EXT" - "Buttwelding - Socketwelding Female" red endprep is "421". The green endprep is "301" and the green connect group is "300".

    2. Find a connect group for endprep "421": Table detail "RR" - "Socket Welding female" has green endprep "421", so take the associated connect group "420" for our red connect group.

      If we have endpreps that only occur for the red end, we would have to define the endprep values that are used for the red end in a special way:

    1. Insert a new table detail record on S.20.02 in the same table/table group with an arbitrary table detail code.

    2. Assign the red endprep in this record ON THE FIELD OF THE GREEN ENDPREP.

    3. Assign as well the connect group for the red endprep in the Connect Group field (where normally the green connect group is situated).

      You will never use this table detail in any of your commodity codes. It is just used to find an appropriate red connect group.
