Tab Connections

On this tab you can change certain properties of the terminal connection points and their connections, such as the potential type or the Cable connection point property. These settings influence the output of the terminals and their targets in reports (for example terminal and cable diagrams). You can also swap external and internal terminal targets.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Tab Connection point [n]

For each function connection point of the terminal with the "Conductor / wire" connection point type, a separate Connection point [n] tab is displayed in which all targets of this connection point are listed. Function connection points with other connection point types (e.g., jumper connection points) are not displayed.

Connections:

The connection point targets of the respective connection point are displayed in this table. The connection point properties specified in the Connection point logic dialog (on the Symbol / function data tab) are shown as the default values. You can change the connection point properties; the changed values are then used in reports and when tracking targets. If there are changes in the Connection point logic dialog, the corresponding values are updated here.

Note:

If you have used the popup menu item Terminal: Swap internal / external in the dialog Edit terminal strip to swap the internal and external sides of the terminal targets, this change is also displayed here. The entries in the Connection point and Form position fields are swapped respectively for the first and second symbol connection points.
