The simplest way of specifying an index in the circuit diagram, is like one of these two examples:
•KW038
•DM385E\KW038
The catalogue name may or may not be included, as seen in the examples.
In a composite index, quantities as well as multiple indexes can be included, like in the following examples:
•KW008+KZ001
•KW038+2*KZ003
•DM385E\KW038+2*DM385E\KZ003
A composite index is presented in nearly the same way as a resource group in the device list of Dynamic OnLine I. The entire composite index is shown in a single line, which can be expanded with the plus sign to the left. In the level below, the parts of which the composite index consists are shown. If the composite index contains resource groups, the only thing that will be shown is the single resources of which the composite index consists in the end, no matter how many levels there are on the way there.
Figure 1135: The presentation of two composite indexes are shown here. The first one (-Q2) consists of two single resources. The second one (-Q3) consists of one resource group and a two pieces of a single resource.
An important difference between a composite index and a resource group, is that no article data from the catalogue will presented for the composite index on the top level, as opposed to the situation for resource groups. On the lowest level, however, they are similar. The reason for this difference is of course the simple fact that the resource group is defined in the catalogue, which the composite index is not.
