Source and target of a cable are determined according to specific rules in EPLAN from the DTs of the functions that are connected to the individual cable connections. Alternatively to this, source and target of a cable can now also be determined through the source and target of the cable connections. The new project setting Determine source and target of the cables via the cable connections is provided to this purpose.
Benefit:
The new settings option Determine source and target of the cables via the cable connections can be used to determine the source and target of a cable by not using the rules currently applying but page-oriented.
If you use this option, it makes sense to draw the schematic in such a way that cable connections of a cable have the same source and the same target.
If the source and target of the cable are determined page-oriented, the source and target of the cable connections must first be determined page-oriented. To this purpose the Determine the source and target of connections from the placement project setting must be activated additionally.
