Forms for Connection Diagrams

A connection diagram represents the target information for each connection point of an object. In this context, a connection point is, for example, the terminal relative to the terminal strip, the pin relative to the plug, etc. Connection diagrams can be represented in a multi-level way, i.e., the targets are searched for in this case also across terminals and other further devices, such as switches.

For terminals / pins, the targets are determined on the basis of internal and external connection points. For other devices, the targets are determined on the basis of the Target tracking (PLC) to property. This property is defined in the connection point logic of the devices.

The target tracking in connection diagrams is canceled when a device is found again. Then, the device is no longer output. Thus, for example, in the case of terminal strips with several PE / PEN terminals that are not connected via a jumper, these PE / PEN terminals are not output several times.

Connection diagrams can have any number of steps. But placeholder texts exist only for steps 1 to 3. For all other steps, the placeholder texts of the first step are duplicated as many times as necessary.

Properties for connection-point diagram forms

There are a number of form properties for connection diagrams that you use to define the setup of the connection diagrams. The most important ones are listed here:
