When copying a branch that includes an auxiliary contact, the software behaves according to the rules described below. The rules apply to a situation illustrated in the following example:
When dragging a branch that includes an auxiliary contact to the Electrical Engineer in your plant, the rules are as follows:
-
If the auxiliary contact belongs to a standalone disconnect equipment item (for example, a disconnect switch), the software creates the new branch in the Electrical Engineer in your plant only up to and not including the auxiliary contact. The parent disconnect electrical equipment item of the auxiliary contact is not copied.
-
If the auxiliary contact belongs to disconnect electrical equipment and this disconnect electrical equipment item is an internal component of a circuit, the software creates the new branch in the Electrical Engineer in your plant only up to and not including the auxiliary contact. The parent disconnect electrical equipment item of the auxiliary contact is not copied.
-
If you drag to the Electrical Engineer in your plant a branch that contains a disconnect electrical equipment item that has an auxiliary contact, the software creates the following in the Electrical Engineer in your plant:
-
The full disconnect equipment branch.
-
The auxiliary contact.
-
All the electrical items belonging to the downstream branch of the auxiliary contact.
