Precondition:
You have opened a project. You have opened a project page in the graphical editor.
- Select the following commands: Tab Insert > Command group Devices >
Device connection point or Tab Insert > Command group Devices > Drop-down button Device connection point > 
Device connection point (two-sided)
The symbol for the device connection point hangs on the cursor. - If required, use the [Ctrl] key to browse the existing connection point variants.
- Click the left mouse button to place the connection point symbol on the page.
- Define the device connection point data in the Properties <...> dialog.
- Click [OK]. The connection points with their device tags and connection point designations are inserted into the page.
Note:
Two-sided device connection points only have a common connection point designation (as with the terminal designation for terminals). They are represented by a symbol with which you can distinguish between the external and internal sides. The symbol has four variations accordingly. The associated function definition has the following properties (Connection point logic dialog):
Transfer potential to: Input
Target tracking (PLC) to: No input
One direct connection point each for the internal side, and a general connection point for the external side.
The following should be taken into account editing device connection points:
- For device connection points with only one connection point, no relationship to other device connection points can be defined; for this reason, the fields used for defining the connection point logic property are grayed out.
- Device connection points lying within a box, and which have no DT of their own, are always auxiliary functions. Cross-references are never displayed for these, since the cross-reference to the box is sufficient.
- Device connection points that are not within a box are cross-referenced. The main function can be a device connection point or a box.
