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 wire symbol. The routing connection is edited by assigning a wiring 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 for routing connections for the labeling of wires.

Note

If you have selected the wiring mode Sequential in the settings, it is not possible to open the detailed view of any routing connection of the connection list. Only the detailed view of the next routing connection not yet installed can be opened.

Properties

The engineer can store additional connection properties for each routing connection in the project file. After opening the project, the values of the properties are available to you in the detailed view. The following information can be shown:

  • 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.
