Terminals
The following corrections can be carried out project-wide 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 project-wide 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. |
Connections
The following correction can be carried out project-wide 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.
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). |
PLC
The following corrections can be carried out project-wide for PLC connection points:
Correction |
Meaning |
---|---|
Write back connection point designations |
If this check box is activated, the connection point designations of the PLC connection points on overview pages are transferred to the associated PLC connection points on the schematic pages, for all the PLC control systems existing in the project. Prerequisite for this is that the associated PLC connection points are connected to the terminals or connected pins. The associated PLC connection points are found on the basis of the PLC address. |
Writing back connection point designations and transferring to the connected pins / terminals |
This correction only makes sense when the PLC connection points and the pins / terminals are implemented graphically separate. The pins and terminals must be located within the PLC box and have the same DT as the respective associated PLC connection point. If this check box is activated, the connection point designations of the PLC connection points on overview pages are transferred to the associated PLC connection points on the schematic pages, for all the PLC control systems existing in the project. In addition the connection point designations are transferred to the pins and terminals in the schematic that are directly connected to the PLC connection points. The plug designation of the PLC connection is transferred to the displayed DT of the connected pin / terminal, and the connection point designation of the PLC connection point is transferred to the pin designation / terminal designation. |
Set data types |
If this check box is activated, the data type is set automatically on the basis of the identifier for all PLC connection points available in the project in as far as the corresponding field is empty. Existing values are not overwritten. |
Synchronize bus interface names |
If this check box is activated, the bus interface name is transferred to all representation types of the same bus port. This means the bus ports for the Bus interface: Name property that is entered at a representation type is transferred to all other representation types for the bus ports. If different bus interface names are available at different representation types, the values remain unchanged and the bus interface name is not transferred to the other representation types. |
Synchronize names of physical networks |
If this check box is activated, the value of the property Physical network: Name is transferred from the bus master of the logical network to the other bus ports (slaves) within the same logical network. Any existing entries for the name of the physical network at the bus ports are overwritten with the value of the respective bus master in the process. The associated bus slaves are found via the properties Logical network: Name and Configuration project, both values must match for the bus master and the bus slave respectively.
For error-free export of network structures all bus ports of a physical network must be displayed as single-line or multi-line and must be connected to each other. With the check runs 004103 and 004104 you can check whether bus master and bus slave have the same value of the property Physical network: Name and if all bus ports of a physical network are connected to each other. |
Delete superfluous configuration project at bus ports |
If this check box is activated, the configuration project entered at the bus ports is deleted if it matches the configuration project of the associated PLC box. The configuration project of the bus port is then determined by the associated PLC box and automatically updated at changes. |
