You use this feature to pre-assign specific junction boxes to selected instruments. This pre-assignment serves several purposes:

  • Pre-assign the required junction boxes to define an Auto-Wiring routing task.

  • Connect multiple pre-assigned device cables in batch mode.

  • Filter the display of cables in the Domain Explorer so that only pre-assigned device cables for connection with junction boxes are displayed.

  1. On the main toolbar, click com_ede.png to open the EDE Explorer.

  2. In the EDE Explorer pane navigate to, Instrument Index > New JB Pre-assignment.

  3. Open New JB Pre-assignment.

  4. In the EDE View's main window, highlight the required tag number to which you want to assign a junction box.

  5. Select in the Junction Box Name field and select an appropriate junction box that will be pre-assigned to the highlighted instrument tag.

    SHARED Tip If a junction box has already been connected to a device panel, the Junction Box Name field displays the name of the connected junction box and you cannot rename the junction box here.

  6. Select in the Strip Name field and select the required strip in the pre-assigned junction box.

  7. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each device panel to which you want to pre-assign a junction box.

  8. Edit the data in the EDE View window as required and close the EDE View. Save the data when prompted.

  • You can now select the appropriate junction boxes and perform batch connection of device cables in the Batch Device Cable Connection window.

  • You can define an Auto-Wiring routing task.
