This option enables you to move a terminal strip with connected cables to another parent item (panel, rack, slot, or wiring equipment). The software retains all the connection definitions after moving a terminal strip.
-
In the Domain Explorer or Reference Explorer, select a terminal strip that you want to move.
-
Expand the hierarchy of the target parent item.
You can open another instance of the Domain Explorer or Reference Explorer and place it beside the one that is already open to make the drag-and-drop operation easier.
-
Drag the selected terminal strip to the required parent item.
If one or more of the following conditions apply, the terminal strip cannot be moved:
-
The terminal strip is associated with an instrument type.
-
The terminal strip is used by an auto-wiring task.
-
The terminal strip has connected terminals or channels that are associated with control system tags.
-
The terminal strip has not been claimed for a project.
-
The terminal strip is associated with a local or general signal.
-
The target parent item is a plug-and-socket box.
