The Multi-Connection Sequence Terminal symbol allows a single in-line schematic symbol to represent a sequence of wire connections passing through two or more (up to six) terminal strips. For example, a wire connection that must pass through a series of shipping split terminal strips can be represented by a single in-line wire schematic symbol (instead of having to show each individual terminal in the sequence).
Two sample symbols are provided. Their appearance may be edited or new ones created as required. They are inserted using the AutoCAD Electrical toolset Insert Component tool. Browse to insert. The symbol names are
H - - 1_MULTI_CONN.dwgwire number changes through the symbol
H - - 1_MULTI_CONN_NOCHG.dwg wire number does not change through it
A dialog box interface lets you encode multiple connection sequence information on to six sets of attribute groups carried on the symbol:
WD_1_TAGSTRIP Attribute to carry first terminal strip number (16 character maximum)
WD_1_TERMNO Attribute to carry optional terminal number
WD_1_INFO Attribute to carry additional information such as installation, location, catalog and item number assignments, and any connected cable information
WD_2_TAGSTRIP Same as previous but for second terminal in the sequence
WD_2_TERMNO Same as previous but for second terminal in the sequence
WD_2_INFO Same as previous but for second terminal in the sequence
through maximum of
WD_6_TAGSTRIPSame as previous but for sixth terminal in the sequence
WD_6_TERMNO Same as previous but for sixth terminal in the sequence
WD_6_INFO Same as previous but for sixth terminal in the sequence
