Detailed view of routing connections

As soon as you mark a row with a routing connection in the connection list, the field of the respective row expands and offers a detailed display of all existing connection point information and routing information. In this detailed view the routing connection is visualized by connection point symbols of the source and target as well as by a connection symbol. The routing connection can be edited by assigning an installation status at the source connection point and at the target connection point. Other buttons in the detailed view enable you to visualize the wiring situation in the mounting layout in the 3D viewThe 3D view is a separate display area in EPLAN Smart Wiring. This is always visible when 3D information is available in the loaded project., and call it up in the form of schematic pages or for example send a Connection comment in case of an error. From the detailed view you can also print connection properties of routing connections for the labeling of wires (single conductors), wire jumpers or hoses.

Manufacturing relevant additional information in the detailed view

With the loaded project file the engineer can store additional manufacturing-relevant information at each routing connection. They become visible for you after the detailed view has been opened.

The following information can be displayed at routing connections, which are assigned to the connection types Wire, Wire jumper or Tube:

  • Displayed DT and connection point designation source / target
  • Connection designation
  • Length with unit
  • Wire termination processing source / target
  • Connection: Type designation
  • Remark
  • Routing direction source / target
  • Minimum tightening torque
  • Maximum tightening torque
  • Socket size.

Buttons and display elements

To receive more information about the user interface in the detailed view, click or the tap the individual buttons and display elements between the two red lines on the graphic displayed below.

Detailed view during selection of the connection type "Cable"

If you have selected a layout space in the project that contains cables, and have selected the connection type Cable in the search and filter bar of the connection list, all available cables of the layout space are displayed in the connection list.

By using the arrow at the left-hand margin of a list entry you can open the detailed view of the respective cable and have the individual connections of the cable (cable wires) displayed.

The following manufacturing-relevant information can be contained in the detailed view of the cable, provided that they were stored in terms of construction in the project file:

  • Source: Stripping length
  • Target: Stripping length
  • Length (full)
  • Number of connections
  • Mounting location: Description
  • Remark.

In the detailed view of cables it is possible to lock and unlock the cable and the cable connections contained in it with the lock for the assignment of an installation status. In addition the connection situation of the routed cables can be visualized in the 3D view.

If you mark one of the cable connections contained in the cable, the detailed view of the individual cable connection with all functionalities opens that you also have for wires (single conductors), wire jumpers and hoses.
