Use the following options to create a terminal strip definition that was not placed into the schematic. Some of the properties are written to each terminal symbol on the graphical terminal strip layout drawing.
|
Installation |
Specifies the Installation code value for the new terminal strip. Click Browse to display a list of existing installation values found in the active drawing, entire project, or an external list (default.inst). Pick from the list to update the component automatically with the installation code. |
|
Location |
Specifies the Location code value for the new terminal strip. Click Browse to display a list of existing location values found in the active drawing, entire project, or an external list (default.inst). Pick from the list to update the component automatically with the location code. |
|
Terminal Strip |
Specifies the strip tag name for the new terminal strip. You cannot have duplicate terminal strip names in the active project. |
|
Number of Terminal Blocks |
Specifies the number of blocks the terminal strip is made up of. This value is not maintained on any of the terminal symbols in the graphical terminal strip layout. |
If the Installation and Location values are left blank, the terminal strip is created using only the strip tag name. The Installation (INST), Location (LOC) and Tag Strip (TAG_STRIP) values are used to determine the uniqueness of a terminal strip no matter which standard is used in the active project (such as Combined Installation/Location tag mode).
