Partitioning

[PVsystUser]

We have two location to define partitioning:

1. List and management of objects   
2. zoning > filed properties > partition 

 

• What is the difference between these two and which one should we use? 
• When the string length is 26 in 1P, is the screen shot below, a correct way of partitioning in zoning? if yes, why we use 2 for nb. of rectangles in width and not the  string length (number of modules in series)?

 

 

A visual guide can help a lot. The partitioning in confusing. even in the link below , they don't say where should we put string size?  It just says how to define number of modules in height, but how about width?

why not partition like this :

Hello,

The two locations to define the partitions are equivalent. If you change one, the other will update. The example below is from the DEMO tracking system Annecy with strings of 20 modules in 2P

 

The partition model is intended to represent the stringing configuration. Therefore, if a table contains one string (e.g., 26 modules), you should define a single rectangle in length (Y-direction), since all modules are electrically connected as one string.

If a table contains multiple strings, a separate rectangle should be defined for each string. For example, if a table has 52 modules—corresponding to two strings—you should define two rectangles in length.
