A complete list of components is extracted from the project drawing set. The tag of the component is read, then all associated components are found and listed in the dialog box. A bill of material check can be performed to see if the description of the item indicates that the quantity of contacts can be accommodated.
References
- N.O. references: Lists the number of normally open contacts assigned to the selected component.
- N.C. references: Lists the number of normally closed contacts assigned to the selected component.
- Other references: Lists the number of child devices that are neither NO or NC contacts. They can include pins of a connector, form C contacts, or general devices that are being referenced.
- Reference listing: Lists the type, number, location, installation, and description text for the reference.
