Terminals

Terminals are used to create various connections. Differing requirements dictate a range of types, functions, and terminal properties.

You have the following options when working with terminals:

You can generate terminals and terminal strips with the default properties from a selection of function definitions that all contain common terminal types.
Terminals can exist without terminal strips and vice-versa.
Terminals can be managed as main terminals or auxiliary terminals. This means that terminals which consist of several functions, for example, can be represented (several separate terminals in one housing).
Up to 50 parts can be assigned to each terminal and terminal strip.
The terminal parts of the terminals lined up on the terminal strip can be stored at the individual terminals if they have been defined as main terminals.
You can number terminals and terminal strips as well as create numbering schemes for the terminal designation.
A variety of sorting options are available for positioning the terminals on the terminal strip.
Terminals can be connected using jumpers. A variety of jumper types are available for this, which can be either automatically generated or manually created.
Each terminal can administer 32 wiring and jumper targets.
You can specify different potential types for terminals.
EPLAN allows you to manage multi-level terminals. You can specify the number of levels of multi-level terminals.
Terminal connections can be shown distributed with the help of distributed terminals.
Terminal strips can also be imported or exported.
