The wire list in Dynamic OnLine I shows all connections, both wires and cable cores. Cable cores are marked with the word CABLE in the table. They are merely there as information. The main purpose of the wire list in Dynamic OnLine I is to enable manipulation of wires in several ways. For example, you can change the wiring sequence and you can change connection properties such as wire-number, colour, and dimension. Cable cores (marked CABLE in the list) are not relevant in that context.
Wire-numbers that already exist in the project, will be included in the wire list. If no wire-numbering has been performed, neither manually nor automatically, the wire-number column for wire-numbers will be empty.
The “pyjama look” of the table comes from the fact that the sub-nodes, the wire-chains, are coloured, every other blue, every other white. That is only done to temporarily enhance the presentation. As soon as you click anywhere in the list, that colouring will disappear.
Icons to the left in the table indicate where the sub-nodes begin and end. The sub-nodes are numbered from 1 and upwards. Each sub-node constitutes a so-called wire-chain where the one wire follows directly after another in a chain, for instance from –F1:1 to –F2:1, and from there further to for instance –F4:1. This gives a wire-chain, which then consists of three connection points and two wires.
In the wire list, you can control the wiring sequence within the wire-chains. Furthermore, you can perform a wire-numbering where you assign wire-numbers to each wire. This can be done automatically, to an arbitrary degree. You also have the possibility to adjust dimension, colour, node name and signal name for each wire. Such information is then transferred to the wire-number symbols in the circuit diagram.
The figure below shows the wire list in the way it can look when everything is numbered and ready.
