Menu: Advanced Tools>Equipment Functions>Assign Terminals

Default command line shortcut: ats

Alternately: Double-click the terminal in the drawing.

Assumptions:

  At least one SysName has been assigned.

---

Terminals are one or two port devices. The dwg file defines the geometry.

WireCAD treats terminal assignment slightly differently from a normal SysName assignment.

During a Terminal Assignment we map the existing SysName ID AND I/O port info onto the selected terminal.

Assign Terminal(s) Dialog

 

•SysName - Select the SysName or press the [+] button to add a new SysName

•I am Just Changing a SysName - Leaves all port data as currently displayed on a terminal, just changes the SysName. This is useful for modifying existing terminal assignments.

•Remember this equipment - Remembers the selected SysName and returns to it on the next terminal assignment.

•Outputs track inputs - When you select an input that has a corresponding output of the exact same name, that output will also be selected.

•Inputs grid - Active only if the selected terminal(s) have input connection points.
