Tab Sequence (Cable Numbering)

In this tab specify the order in which cables should be numbered. The chief question is what devices are attached to the ends of the cable.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Number manual cables first:

If this check box is selected, manual cables (cables on which the cable definition line is not automatically placed) are numbered first. Cables with automatically placed cable definition lines are numbered after that.

In addition, manual cables are numbered according to their graphical sequence. The Number terminal- / plug-oriented setting no longer has significance for manual cables.

This setting has priority over the setting in the Number cables at plugs first group box.

Number terminal- / plug-oriented:

If this check box is selected, cables attached to terminals or plugs are numbered first. Cables are numbered in the sequence of the terminal strips, whereby the source DT is the deciding factor.

Terminals and plugs are treated equally here i.e., first all cables are numbered that are attached to terminals or plugs. Then cables that are not attached to plugs or terminals are numbered.

If the check box is not selected, cables are numbered according to their graphical sequence, schematic logic in the plot frame, and the position of the cable definition main function.

Number cables at same targets consecutively:

If this check box is selected, cables leading to a common target are numbered consecutively. The next cable that doesn't lead to that target is numbered after that.

Number cables at plugs first:

This setting can start the numbering for cables that end on plugs.
