About Terminal Jumpers

Terminal jumpers can be internal, as defined by the block properties of a multi-level terminal, or an external add-on jumper.

Internal jumpers

You can define internal jumpers for a multi-level terminal to indicate that certain levels are jumpered together. Define the internal jumpers directly in the terminal block properties. Or, associate an internal jumper definition with a specific catalog in the Terminal Properties Lookup tables. When the catalog is assigned to a terminal, the internal jumpers are assigned to each terminal in the association.

Note: A separate catalog value cannot be assigned to internal jumpers. If the internal jumper is an option for the catalog, we recommend using an assembly code to link multiple catalog values.

External jumpers

External or add-on jumpers can jumper together any two or more terminals. Use the Edit Jumper tool to define an external jumper or, define the jumper from within Terminal Strip Editor. A catalog value can be assigned to an external jumper.
