Chain

Wire-chains (sub-nodes) are given internal numbers, integers from 1 and upwards. The graphical icon shows how the wire-chain is made up. All this is presented in this column.

 
The content of the field is non-editable apart from the fact that it can be modified indirectly by changes elsewhere.

Wire-number

Depending on which type of connection you are dealing with, this field shows different information:

•For ordinary wires, the wire-number is shown.

•For cable cores, the only thing you will see here is the word CABLE.

•For wires which do not have a number yet, the field is empty.

The content of this field is fully editable.

From (OUT)

Here it is stated where the wire starts. For conventional devices, the complete item designation followed by the connection point number is shown. For terminals, the complete item designation is shown, which of course include both terminal group name and terminal number.

The content of this field is not directly editable, but it is affected indirectly by changes to other fields.

To (IN)

Here it is stated where the other end of the wire is connected, meaning where it ends. This is shown in a similar way as in the previous column, namely with item designation and connection point number for conventional devices and with item designation for terminals.

In the same way as with the previous field, this field is not directly editable, but can be modified indirectly.

Sheet reference

This is a cross-reference to the outgoing side, meaning where the wire starts. The reference is assembled in the manner which the project parameters specify, for instance with sheet number, column and row. If you have chosen a less successful composition of cross-references, for instance without row, without column or similar, you will have to settle with a less suitable reference than you would otherwise have had.

The content of this field is not editable.

Wire/cable dimension

The dimension of the wire in question is shown in this field. It can have one of four different origins:

•For cable cores, the information comes from the electrical data attribute of the cable main symbol.

•For wires where the dimension has not been specified in the circuit diagram, the information comes from the default dimension that is specified in the project parameters.

•Dimensions for wires can be specified in the circuit diagram with a so-called property symbol. The property symbol has higher priority than the project parameters.

•Dimensions for wires can also be specified directly in the wire-number symbols. Such definitions have the highest priority and overrides all others, except any possible cable symbols.

When editing the dimension of wires using Dynamic OnLine I, the changes are transferred to the wire-number symbols. For cables, the dimensions cannot be edited in this list.

For cables, the cable dimension information is complemented with the item designation of the cable and the core number.

Colour

Here you find the colour of the wire, acquired from the project parameters, any possible property symbol, or the current wire-number symbol. Changes are always stored in the wire-number symbol.

Node name

The node name for the current wire is displayed here. This term is used for wire-numbering where the number of the wire is the same for all wires within a certain wire-chain (sub-node). This should not be confused with wire-numbers, where the number must be unique for each wire within the wire-chain. The node name is acquired from a property symbol or from a wire-number symbol. The latter has higher priority. Any changes that you make are always stored in the wire-number symbols.

Signal name

Here you find the signal name for the current wire. This term corresponds to the potential reference name for connections between sheets. (The potential reference name will then also be used as signal name). The signal name can have three different origins:

•A potential reference

•A property symbol

•A wire-number symbol

Any changes that you make to it, are always stored in the wire-number symbols.
