Paneldes Raceway and Cable Routing Software

Electrical Raceway Design and Cable Routing Software

Paneldes Raceway is the 3D CAD design module of EDS used for the creation of Plant Raceway models. Paneldes software performs cable routing, cable filling and cable length calculations, as well as interference analysis and materials reporting.

Paneldes Raceway software is for construction engineers with electro-mechanical design and cable management requirements, such as those designing plant cable raceway, ductbank, cable tray and cable ladder layout, and cable routing.

Compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, and LusoCAD. →
Features

Automated Cable Routing

Route cables through your plant with automatic scheduling and full reporting.

  • Software algorithm for automated cable route optimisation — calculates cable length and fill, optionally compliant with N.E.C.
  • Override auto-routes by manually specifying routes, setting way-points, or locking routes; user-defined levels of cable power segregation and mixing.
  • Project milestone-based “ROUTED/ISSUED/PULLED” system manages partial cable/route/fill schedules without conflict as installation progresses.
  • Cable tray and conduit “Snug Fit” system intelligently optimises cable raceway intersections for routing linearity and speed.
  • Automated 3D cable route diagram with integral labelling, fill intelligence, and raceway network consistency checker.

Cable Raceway, Cable Tray, and Cable Ladder Design

Design 3D cable tray systems and raceways with real-world accuracy across your entire plant.

  • Parametric 3D and 2D shapes for all raceway components — cable tray, cable ladder, trench, conduit, ductbank, fittings, and accessories — with automated 3D SNAP.
  • Automated model creation and device/instrument insertion from a database, with database-driven component sizing via Elecdes catalog databases [ODBC].
  • Automated “Ductbank Editor” for creating and editing parallel conduit arrays in concrete-filled trenches.
  • Automated “incremental” tag name defaulting with user-programmable tagnames; component selection from one lines, block diagrams, and final circuit diagrams.
  • Database-driven global editor for mass updates to tags, specs, and sizes; automated bill of materials and quantity summary.
  • Component placement and tag name duplication cross checks; “Query” function for cable and raceway segment details.
