Busbar systems

Busbar systems can be placed in a layout space from the following sources:

Busbar systems are usually placed on mounting panels, but can also be placed on any other mounting surface. Selection and placement are similar to those of length-variable items.

Busbar systems have extended features compared to individual rails:

Note:

If a support with a graphical macro is entered in the parts data of the busbar system on the Busbar system tab, the handle that is defined in this macro is the first to be used during the placement. This way, for example, it is possible to achieve that the handle is located in the center of a drill hole in the support. The default handles that are not defined in the macro can be selected in the Placement options dialog or via the [A] key.

During the placing of an integrated busbar system, the handle is on the left side of the support when entering the starting point. For the input of the end point, the handle is switched to "Right". When using a macro for the supports, however, the handle from the macro for the starting and end point is used.
