3 CABLE TRACKNG SYSTEM PROPOSAL Nick Friedman Experimental Facilities Division Advanced Photon Source October 19, ntroduction The Experimental Facilities Division requires a labeling system to identify and catalog the instrumentation, control, and computer cables that will run throughout the building. Tom Sheridan from the MS Group has already made some general suggestions about the information that could be included in an Oraclebased Cable Tracking System ( text distributed by Gary Gunderson on the 27th of August). Glenn Decker s LS Note No. 191 is also relevant to the subject since it addresses name assignment rules for the storage ring devices. The intent of this note is to recommend a mechanism for tracking wiredcables, with enough specifics, to which all groups in the Division would adhere when pulling cables. Because most cables will run between various beamline devices, hutch safety components, and equipment racks, any method of tracking cables is related to the Fquipment Tracking System. That system has been developed by the APS Project personnel and is described in the APS Project Equipment Tracking System Guidelines (DRAFT).t can be adopted to XFD s needs. Two essential features of the Cable Tracking System are: 1) Each cable shell have a unique dentifier, and 2) Cable label must contain information that is helpful during troubleshooting in the field. The dentifier is an alphanumeric string of characters that will originate in the Oraclebased Cable Tracking System. t is not necessary for the identifier to carry a lot of intelligence its primary purpose is simply to provide a link to the database. Barcoding the dentifier would make it easy to combine cable information with the Equipment Tracking System. Oracle database, running under VAXNMS operating system, is a multiuser projectwide system. As such, it will eliminate the possibility of duplicate entries. Additional benefits are expected from the ease of interface to the Equipment Tracking System, which is based in Oracle. For the purpose of troubleshooting, it is very helpful to be able to access detailed cable data while working in any area of the experimental floor. A laptop computer equipped with an Ethernet interface card will provide such capability. Page of 6

4 11. General Labeling Rules Each cable label will consist of three rows. The first row is the Cable dentifier assigned for each Group by the Oraclebased Cable Tracking System. The second row, System dentifier, states to which system the cable belongs, for example, PLC 1st Ph. Shutter or PLC FOE Rad. Safety. The third line, let s call it Location dentifier, identifies the source, destination, and termination type of the cable. More specific information about terminal plock pins may be included on this line to facilitate quick location. All three lines can be customized to include additional information as found appropriate by the individual Groups the System will prevent the use of duplicate dentifiers.. Cable Labeling Standards 1. Cable dentifier will consist of a two character group identifier followed by a sixdigit number, for example, EC or D System dentifier is the second line, beneath the Cable dentifier. t describes to what system the cable belongs. This is an English description of what the cable is used for. For example, Connects 2nd Ph. Shutter to PLC, or Fast Valve Sensor to Controller (40character max). 3. Location dentifier, the third line on the label, will consist of two codes which refer to the point of origin and the location of the destination of the two ends of the cable. Each end of the cable is described by a sevenfield code. The line will consist of two codes separated by a dash (). An example of this line would be: 1!B _ 2 ; : T B 2 1 : 7, B M l K : P L 5 : 2, 3 Pin numbers B l o c k number CPL P l u g ) Section of t h e S e c t o r n d i c a t e s the L e v e l B e n d i n g Magnet Sector number ig. 1 Page 2 of 6

7 V. Cable Definition Data Form At this point, it is not necessary to establish strict procedures for pulling and labeling cables. However, it is important to emphasize that a Cable Definition Data Form must be filled out, to the extent possible, before actually pulling the cable. This Form has to be completed immediately after cable terminations are made. An example of such form is shown below. S a b l e D e f i n i t i o n Data F o r m Cable Label AEnd T e r m.

8 V. Database Program The Cable Definition Data Form serves as the main source of information for entering data into the database system. Types of pertinent information to store in the database can be: Cable dentifier Code Cable Size Number of Conductors Wire Color Code nsulation Material and Rating Connector Type and Pinout Function System Cable Serves Resistance to Radiation Date nstalled Wireway: Tray, Conduit nformation Drawings Numbers Problems Observed Comments EtC.
