TransformerAttachRadiusInMapUnits

Enter a value, likely between 0.20 and 50.00.

A structure found within this radius (with rules that allow attachment) is automatically considered as attached to the given device when performing an in-line network feature or transformer move.

TransformerToLineRadiusInMapUnits

Enter a value, likely between 0.20 and 50.00.

This value is the default offset distance from the connection point and transformer during a transformer move.

Electric Field Names

The Field Model Names listed below are displayed in Solution Center, and they are then pointed to user-selected database fields. For instructions on how to set field model names, refer to Configure Field and Class Model Names.

The Database Field Name column in the table below matches Schneider Electric sample data, however, it is not required that your data match these exactly. The database field names can be called anything you desire. However, it is required that the Field Model Names match as indicated in the table below.

TIP: If your organization chooses to name your database field names differently than those listed in the column below, it is recommended that you record what database names you assigned to which field model names in place of the suggested names in the table. This list of differences will help assist Schneider Electric Support in the event you need their assistance with your database in the future.

Where there are more than one feature class listed in the table below, this implies that each feature class should have a database field name mapped to the field model name displayed. For example, in the first row in the table below, both ElectricLine and ElectricEdgeObject feature classes must contain a database field name for the conductor material that is mapped to the field model name, ConductorMaterial.

Electric Field Names Interpretation Tab

  1. Click on the Electric Field Names tab.

  2. Click on the Interpretation tab on the right side.

    Interpretation tab of the Electric Field Names

  3. Select the appropriate domain value in the following drop-down lists:

    • For the FilterValue meaning Closed: drop-down, select the domain value that sets a device to Closed.

    • In the FilterValue meaning Open drop-down, select the domain value that sets a device to Open.

    • Select which domain value you want other values to be assumed as in the All other values to be interpreted as drop-down.

  4. Click Save to apply your settings.

IMPORTANT: If the coded values in the drop-downs aren’t what you expected to see, check the DeviceStatus field mapping on the Fields tab.

Network Categories

In Editor XI, the concept of electric class model names used within a geometric network has been replaced with network categories used within a utility network.

A network category is a way to group features with similar characteristics that play a similar role within the network such as lines, devices, and junctions. These network categories help define behavior, tracing logic, and visualization within the utility network. The ArcFM UN data model differentiates network categories into two groups: equipment type categories and modeling categories. The equipment type categories are defined by the types of equipment these feature classes, asset groups, and asset types represent. Modeling categories are defined by the roles or functions they serve in the network.

A good example of an equipment type network category is E:Switch, which should be placed on all switchable device asset groups/asset types in the network. A good example of a modeling category would be E:Protective. This network category would be appropriate to assign to a device that can function as a protective device. One might assign this network category in order to run a protective trace to identify devices that can de-energize a section of the electrical network.

Some network categories may be subsets of others. A feature type that belongs to a E:Reclosing category, for example, should also belong to the E:Switch category. Other network categories are mutually exclusive. A feature type cannot belong to both the E:Transformer - Inline category and the E:Transformer - Tap category.

To learn more about the ArcFM UN data model and its required network categories, see the ArcFM UN Network Categories topic. To learn more about how to assign network categories, read the Esri help topic, Set or modify a network category assignment.

Assign the following network categories as described in each topic.


The following table displays the required network categories for the ArcFM XI series application, and in some cases, the specific tool.
