The mounting panel uses part references, since a part placement on a mounting panel is only used for visualization of a part.
Part placements on a mounting panel already define a device, even if no main function has been placed yet. In this case, you must ensure that a part is only added once to the bill of materials, even if it appears in the project through a main function as well as through a part placement.
For devices consisting of only a part placement (i.e. no main function), no device selection can be performed, nor can new part references be added.
The following combinations of part references and part placements can occur:
Main function |
