 Command entry:  AETSE

You are alerted if you select too many levels to associate. You can then decrease the number of selected levels or use the Break Apart Terminal Associations tool to separate out one of the levels in the new association.

Make your selection on the Terminal Strip Selection dialog box and click Edit. On the Terminal Strip or Catalog Code Assignment tab, select the level to modify. In the Multi-Level section, click Associate Terminals.

The number of levels you selected to add to the association displays at the top of the dialog box.

Terminals	Lists only the terminals that have enough available levels that can accommodate the number of levels you chose to associate.
Terminal grid	Displays the terminal information for the terminal selected in the tree control. Level numbering: Displays a level number for each level that is defined in the terminal properties. The level numbering of the panel symbol is a pound symbol (#). Label: Lists the level description defined in the terminal block properties. Number: Lists the terminal numbers defined in the association. Only one terminal number is allowed per level and each level displays its respective terminal number or text. Panel terminal symbols do not display terminal numbers. Terminal levels with an assignment and a terminal that was not assigned a terminal number display question marks (???) in this column. PinL: Lists the pin numbers defined on the left side of the terminal block. This data is entered into the L0nPINL attribute if present; otherwise, it is placed into xdata. PinR: Lists the pin numbers defined on the right side of the terminal block. This data is entered into the L0nPINR attribute if present; otherwise, it is placed into xdata. Pin numbering is related to the terminal level and not the terminal tag number instance. Reference: Lists the reference location of the terminal symbol in the project. The syntax is “Sheet,Reference” based on the drawing configuration.
Associate	Adds the selected terminal symbol to the terminal association selected on the Terminal Strip Editor dialog box. The selections are processed from top to bottom in the Terminal Strip Editor grid and populate the available levels in the new association from the first available once you click OK. Note: The grid row must be selected before you can perform the association.
Move Up/Move Down	Moves the selected terminal up or down one level within the terminal definition.
