CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
8. Weld instructions if needed should be clear and specific to the location, quantity,
type and size.
9. When working on a family of parts, try to keep a neat and clear family table.
10.Family of parts are limited to 15 instances. For larger families, the team leader
and manufacturing team must approve.
4
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
11. When creating a feature, use datum planes as reference. Do not use other
features. See example below.
12. For punched and drilling operations, default to standard sized holes and tooling.
Drawings
1. Refer to our CAD standards and ANSI drafting standards.
2. Scale, Revision, Date and CN Number.
3. Tolerance notes.
4. Reflect changes made to drawing by using Delta symbol with revision number.
5
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
5. Avoid having conflicting tolerance values in the same drawing. Also, you can’t use
the phrase “unless otherwise specified” more than once for tolerances in the
same drawing.
6. Make sure all the instances in the family are shown in the same drawing.
7. Show EMPIS material and finish code.
8. For “Buy” parts, you need to provide information about the part so that we can
get the same part from a different vendor if needed.
9. Overall dimensions for the part should be clearly listed and not calculated on the
three main views.
10.Label Isometric view and scale if it exists. Display settings for ISO view
11.For complicated dimensions, you can use the phrase “Refer to ABB approved 3D
model” depending on the importance of the dimension.
3D Assembly
1. Parameters. Ex. Date, GE_Root_Number/Root_Number, Finish, etc.
2. Family table structure.
3. Display overall dimensions and dimensions needed to make part.
4. Involved parts release and rev.
5. Building structure in Windchill if needed.

PLM in LV MCC
Introduction:
In LV MCC the easiest way to understand how the orders gets made is comparing it to
making a meal out of a recipe book
So, consider the super market example:
R&D = Vendors for a super market.
R&D = Creators of the recipe book ingredients
R&D = Programmers of the automated shopping cart
8
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
So, when the customer places his order “The meal”, the req Engineer “The chef” sends
the recipe to Hires “The shopping cart” and then Hires “the shopper” start pulling parts
from SAP “the super market” that was released thru windchill “the delivery truck” by
R&D Engineers “The vendors”
9
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
MCCs are built using 3 different BOMs that are assembled in 3 different location in the
factory and they are:
1. Unit BOM: The function-specific part of the MCC, could be one or more unit in a
section
2. Section BOM: The Skeleton enclosure containing all the units
3. Split BOM: The horizonal main bus and any part shared in all three enclosures of a
shipping split
2. Section/case BOM:
Driven by Static subassemblies in windchill
Changes based on unit and function selection
11
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
3. Split BOM:
Driven by static subassembly in windchill
Changes based on unit and function as well as rating selection
Filtered by one logic sheet and selected bus plating option
Final output is sent to the MB assembly are in the factory as well as the
shipping stage
What is Hires?
Hires is a Dynamic BOM generator that works based on the input of the req
Engineer to allow short cycle orders
12
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
Hires is driven by 6 different logic sheets prepared by R&D engineers and fed to the
software by IT team
EVol_Case: Section/Case Parts
Split_BOM: MB parts
Assembly_Data_e: unit Mechanical parts
Protable_3: filtering and conditions sheet
E_BOM: Electrical and electronic parts
BOM_BY_LOC: conditional mechanical parts needed based on the selection of E_BOM
13
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
2. For parts made by one plant and purchased by the other, assign both as the
manufacturing plant.
3. SAP Material Types:
• For Custom parts - “Semi Finished Good & Custom Piece Part – HALB”
• For commercial parts - “Commercial OEM – ROH”
• For Generics and no suffix bus parts - “UNBW”
4. If the gear part type is incorrect, submit a ticket for correction to the admin team.
For example, shown below is a sub-assembly listed as a custom part.

5. Make sure the gear and CAD components are associated to each other and associated
to the right revision. Avoid having gear parts associated to an old revision CAD parts.
6. Make sure the gear and CAD components are in the correct Windchill Container.
17
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
7. Use “Full track” CN for parts and assemblies that will go to Manufacturing or even buy
parts. “Fast Track” will be used only for Documentation update and reference
assemblies; e.g. E9000 help.
8. For BOM extraction purposes, fill in one attribute for 1040/1041 or unit assemblies
that get processed thru Hires. The attribute is called “exportEpmDocument” and it
should be set to yes. It can be found by doing edit attribute on the CAD assembly.
9. Make sure that there aren’t any old scanned drawings for your part or assembly in the
equipment viewer. If yes, make sure to revise it and obsolete the original copy.
10. BUY parts should be submitted on a separate CN by Mebane requirements on
January 2019
18
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
Bus Plating
1. 95% of the bus used in LV MCC is plated
2. Currently we have 3 plating options and they are:
Skinny Silver - indicated with TC suffix
Heavy silver – indicated with KT suffix
Tin – Indicates with suffix SM
3. Legacy parts had 5 suffix which included TB and N suffix for Heavy tin and Bare
finish respectively
4. When we deal with bus parts, there are four gear parts that are needed on
windchill, one for the part number without any suffix, and one of each of the three
suffices listed above
5. Special change request to be used for creation of three suffices gears
6. I did mention 95%, so time to discuss the 5% and that will be ground bus
7. Ground bus to be created with 4 suffices; the three listed above plus “N” for bare or
no finish
8. If you create a subassembly including one piece of bus or more, then you are
required to create all different plating gears for the subassembly itself.

CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
CN Description
MCC Personnel decided that after August 11th 2015 all CN descriptions must meet
the following criteria in order to be considered “Complete”. A CN will be rejected
upon submission if it lacks any of the following points.

Resulting Objects:
1. In this window you will add all the new created parts or revs with the exception of
parts intended for obsoleting.
2. The resulting objects tab is part of the liability documentation for the CN. Make
sure you are stating the facts clearly.
3. In the disposition you will select either Release or Obsolete depending on the
nature of the change.
24
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
4. Comments are very important and mandatory except for new parts. Refer to the
following points:
• For new revisions of existing parts, you are required to add a simple
explanation on what is different about these parts.
• Skip this tab for brand new P/Ns.
• Add “Rev Change Only” to instances of a family that are being revised but not
changing.
• All comments should be in English and Spanish.
• If a part is manufactured by one plant and bought by the other, include the
following note: Ex. “Make in Mebane, BUY in Edesa”.
5. The “New Name” tab is optional and to be filled-in only if you are not satisfied with
the current name of the CAD or Drawing. Gears must be renamed before adding to
the resulting objects.
6. A CN is limited to 15 gear parts or one family, whichever is larger.
25
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
1. During Migration from Intralink, there was no plan to build a BOM structure for CAD
assemblies and sub-assemblies. So, it is required to build a BOM structure of any Sub-
assembly that you are planning to use in your main assembly.
2. When you create a CAD sub-assembly you are required to build a BOM structure in
the gear sub-assembly.
3. Use the compare to CAD structure feature in Windchill to verify the structure of the
gear sub-assembly.
4. Before releasing a replacement for a part in Windchill or even revising an old part, you
are supposed to confirm what assemblies it was used in and what impact it would
have on such assembly. So please do the following:
Open the original CAD part in Windchill, select the “Related Objects” tab and
check the “Where Used” table.
Open all these assemblies and replace the old component with new one. In case
of a revised item, open the assemblies in Creo and make sure it didn’t crash
because of constraint issues.
26
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
In some situations, the “where used” tab will come back with zero results. If
that’s the case, open the part in SAP and use the where used Command “CS15”.
If it was structured in any assemblies, go back to Windchill and apply your
changes to the assemblies (changes should be done to gear and CAD in SYNC).

PUNCH SIZES
- Hole sizes for a individual (non-tooled) parts should be consistent with one machine's punch set for lowest part cost.
- This avoids tool changes or moving the part to a second punch for certain hole sizes.
- Use of standard punch sizes will avoid extra setup labor in fabrication.

B.Customer wiring:
1. Locate the customer connection point
2. Find out the biggest cable size that this point can take
3. Using UL845, decide if the unit meets that cable size or not and list the max cable size in
Unit_size
4. If the unit doesn’t then calculate the distance from the first obstacle to the connection
point and use this value to decide the biggest cable you can use that will have this bending
radius
5. List that cable size in unit size.
39
CN Checklist Rev13 12/16/2019
6. If the customer wiring ended up smaller than the internal wiring, then the unit is invalid,
and size up by 6”.
