Add Jumpers to the Existing Wiring - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

Smart Instrumentation enables you to create and connect multiple jumpers in a repetitive way. You can define constant gaps between the jumper terminals if required. Also, you can jumper the last remaining terminal in the selected terminal pattern if required.

• To propagate signals through jumpers you must have selected the Propagate tag signal through jumpers option in the Wiring > Jumpers preferences.

• You can assign a wire group to a jumper manually on the Terminal Connection dialog, if you have not selected the Propagate tag signal through jumpers option.

1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer.

2. Expand the Panels by Location or the Panels by Category folder to display the existing panels and terminal strips.

3. Right-click a panel or a terminal strip and then on the shortcut menu, select Actions > Connection.

4. In the Connection window, select a wire connected to the terminal that will be the first terminal connected to the first jumper.

   Do not make any selection if you want the terminal connected to the first wire to be the connected to the first jumper.

5. In the Connection window, select Connection > Connect Jumpers .

6. On the Connect Jumpers dialog, do the following:

   1. From the Terminal one – first jumper list, select a terminal and set its Left or Right orientation.

   2. From the Terminal two – first jumper list, select a terminal and set its Left or Right orientation.

   3. If you need to define a constant gap between the jumper terminals, enter a value in the Interval between jumpers box.

   4. From the Last terminal list, select the last terminal in the pattern that you want to jumper.

   5. Select the Jumper the last terminal check box if you want to jumper the last remaining terminal in the terminal pattern.

   6. Select a jumper color.

   7. In the Jumper name box, type the name of the new jumper, or accept the default setting. By default, Smart Instrumentation suggests a name for a new jumper of the format J<first terminal name>/<second terminal name>. You can change the preferences so as not to display a suggested jumper name. For details, see Set Preferences for Automatic Naming of Jumpers.

   8. Select OK.

      Your new jumper appears in the Connection window.
