Terminals
The following corrections can be carried out for terminals:
Correction |
Meaning |
---|---|
Swap number of targets at defective terminals |
If this check box is selected, the following terminals will be corrected: those whose connection points have a differing number of targets, and those for which the actual number of targets does not match the number specified in the connection point logic. In the process, the setting "Number of targets" in the terminal's connection point logic will be changed from connection point 1 to connection point 2 if the actual number of targets for connection point 1 matches the setting "Number of targets" for connection point 2 and vice-versa. |
Add missing terminal strip definitions |
If this check box is selected, unplaced terminal strip definitions are generated for any non-default terminal strips. Non-default terminal strips occur, for example, if you enter a DT that doesn't exist as a terminal strip definition when you are inserting terminals or if you delete a terminal strip definition for which terminals still exist. |
Allow identical designations |
If this check box is selected, identical terminal designations that occur multiple times within a terminal strip are not reported as errors. The Allow same designations property is set for the functions in question. |
Correct manual saddle jumpers |
If this check box is activated, the settings for manual saddle jumpers that were configured in previous EPLAN versions (Version 2.4 or older) are corrected. Such saddle jumpers can for example arise during the insertion of a macro into the project. As of Version 2.5 the settings for a manual saddle jumper are only stored at that terminal that represents the jumper start. |
Plugs
The following correction can be carried out for plugs:
Correction |
Meaning |
---|---|
Add missing plug definitions |
If this check box is selected, unplaced plug definitions are generated for any non-default plugs. Depending on the pins contained in the plug (male, female, or male/female pin combinations), the appropriate plug definition is generated. Two plug definitions may be created for each DT. Non-default plugs occur, for example, if you enter a DT that doesn't exist as a plug definition when you are inserting pins or if you delete a plug definition for which pins still exist. |
Cables
The following corrections can be carried out for cables:
Correction |
Meaning |
---|---|
Move contents of Remark field of cables and shields to function text |
If this check box is activated, the content of the property Remark will be moved to the property Function text for cable definition lines and shields. In doing so, the display properties of the "Remark" property are also transferred to the "Function text". This helps correct old projects for which the remark can be used and evaluated instead of the function text. Note: The content of the Remark field is only moved to the function text if it is empty. |
Remove blank characters from cross-section information at cables, shields, and connections |
If this check box is activated, then empty spaces before and after cross-section information in the Cross-section / diameter field are removed. Empty spaces in the cross-section entry can cause problems in searches and when using filters because, for example, the values "1.5", " 1.5" and "1.5 " are not seen as identical. Tip: Using the property Cable / Conduit: Cross-section / diameter with unit (ID 20070), you can output the cross-section entry and the unit together. In the project settings, you can specify whether an empty space should be added between the value and the unit. In the Settings: Cable dialog (accessible via the menu items Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Devices > Cable), activate the Cross-sections with blank character check box. |
Connections
The following correction can be carried out for connections:
Correction |
Meaning |
---|---|
Correct connection symbols outside a defined network (activate 'Specify targets') |
When this check box is activated, the check box Specify targets is activated again at all connection symbols (T-nodes, double junctions, jumpers) that no longer lie in a defined network. This is of interest, for example, at the definition of nets foe net-based connections when net definition points have been removed manually and the changeover at the associated connection symbols has been forgotten. Tip: In order to delete all the net definition points in a project, you can use the project compressing function. To this purpose activate the check box Remove all net definition points and correct connection symbols in the dialog Settings: Compression of the Net definition points hierarchy level. In the process all the associated connection symbols are changed automatically (the check box Specify targets is activated). |
