A DIN terminal plan is a very complex report, in fact the most complex report that the Report Generator normally handles. It is a combination of a terminal list and a cable list, where each terminal is presented once, in the same time as each cable also is presented once. Despite that, each cable core is well defined. To accomplish this, the report is designed like a diagram, with terminals on one axis and cables on another axis. Where a terminal and a cable cross, the cable core number is presented.

 

It is a clever presentation, which has become a common way of presenting terminals in Germany, also defined in a special DIN standard.

 

The information comes from the *X.DBF TARGET database, which is an extended version of the *B.DBF.

 

The filter excludes connectors and more than one connection on each side of the terminals.

 

 

No sorting is made, but page break is defined for !TSORT, !PPOST, and !DSORT. The combination of !TSORT and !PPOST defines a terminal group. !DSORT is used for DIN terminal plans only. It makes it possible to split the terminal plan in multiple pages, when the number of cables exceeds the number of cable positions in the form, as well as when the number of terminals exceeds the number of available positions for that in the form. These limits are defined in a separate section in the Settings 2 tab of the report definition.

 

Please refer to a separate topic named DIN cable and terminal plans, which describes this kind of reports in full detail.
