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.
