Terminal wire connections

    Procedures

    Control terminal wire connections

    Schematic and panel layout/wiring diagram terminal symbols can carry TERMDESC attribute values used to control which side of a terminal is to receive internal or external wire connections. Schematic terminals use attributes X1TERMDESC01 for the right wire connection, X2TERMDESC01 for the top, X4TERMDESC01 for the left, and X8TERMDESC01 for bottom wire connections.

    Show terminal internal/external connections

    This tool shows the state of the invisible attribute values for selected objects. The values are shown with red and green arrows.

    1. Click Schematic tabEdit Components panelTerminal: Show Internal/External Connections.
    2. Select the objects to show the connection codes for. You can pick on individual objects or select a group of objects using a boundary box.

    Mark internal connections

    This tool marks attributes with an 'I' for internal wiring.

    1. Click Schematic tabEdit Components panelTerminal: Mark Internal Connections.
    2. Select near a wire connection point of the terminal. The attribute is marked with an arrow to indicate whether it is an internal.

    Mark external connections

    This tool marks attributes with an 'E' for external wiring.

    1. Click Schematic tabEdit Components panelTerminal: Mark External Connections.
    2. Select near the wire connection point of a terminal. The attribute is marked with an arrow to indicate whether it is an external value.

    Erase connection codes

    1. Click Schematic tabEdit Components panelTerminal: Erase Internal/External Connections.
    2. Select near the wire connection point of a terminal to erase the connection code. (I= internal, E= external)
