Inserting and Editing Device Connection Points

Precondition:

You have opened a project and are viewing a schematic in the graphical editor.

  1. Select the menu item Insert > Box / connection point / mounting panel > Device connection point or Insert > Box / connection point / mounting panel > Device connection point (two-sided).

    The symbol for the device connection point hangs on the cursor.
  2. If required, use the [Ctrl] key to browse the existing connection point variants.
  3. Click the left mouse button to place the connection point symbol on the page.
  4. Define the device connection point data in the Properties <...> dialog.
  5. 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:
