Allows you to define a connection type that facilitates rapid cable set connections. You define a connection type that contains a pattern by which Smart Electrical connects conductors to terminals on a terminal strip.
Connection type
Allows you to type a connection type name. Select the ellipsis button to open a dialog where you can modify the connection type segments.
Description
Allows you to type a description connection type, for information only. Select the ellipsis button to open a dialog where you can type longer text for the description.
When typing the description in the dialog, to begin a new line, press CTRL + ENTER.
Skip between sets
Allows you to enter the number of terminals that you want to skip between the first conductor of the previously connected set and the first conductor of the next set.
Conductors
This data window contains all the conductors of the selected cable set, showing their names and configurations. The number of rows that you should add has to match the number of conductors that will be connected. The software does not connect the leftover conductors that do not have connection type definitions in the Conductors data window.
Conductor
Displays a specific conductor in a cable set. The displayed Wire00x values represent the conductor names and are used to illustrate the current connection type configuration. This field is not editable.
Skip
Allows you to type the number of terminals to skip before connecting this conductor in the set. The skip refers to the number of terminals that will be left unconnected between consecutive cable sets. Enter the number of terminals to be skipped according to your needs. In most cases, this value is incremented for successive conductors.
Land Side
Allows you to set the side of the terminal to which you want to connect each conductor.
A
The active side of the terminal. In the environment of a wiring drawing, the A side is the active side of the terminal that you want to connect. It can be its left or right side, depending on which terminal side you selected after you moved the cursor over the connection points.
O
The opposite side of the terminal. In the environment of a wiring drawing, the O side is the opposite side of the terminal that you want to connect. It can be its left or right side, depending on which terminal side you selected after you moved the cursor over the connection points.
Add
Adds a new row to the Conductors data window where you can define a new conductor connection. The number of rows must match the number of conductors you are going to connect. The software does not connect the leftover conductors that do not have connection type definitions in the Conductors data window.
Remove
Removes the selected row from the Conductors data window.
