After connecting a home-run-cable to a plug and socket box or a fieldbus brick, you can associate the home-run cable or its cable-set with a segment.
-
Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer.
-
Select and then right-click a fieldbus plug-and-socket box or a fieldbus brick.
-
On the shortcut menu, select Actions > Connection.
-
In the Connection or the Plug- and-Socket Box Connection window, select the required connected home-run cable or a home-run cable-set to select it. For example:
-
Right-click the highlighted home- run cable and on the shortcut menu, select Associate Segment to open Segment Association dialog.
-
From the Associate segment list, select the segment with which you want to associate the current home-run cable.
If the required segment is not available in the Associate segment list, select the Include all segments option button in the Segment filter group box.
-
Select OK to make the association.
The name of segment you just associated is propagated along the entire home-run cable.
