MÓDULO DE PRÁCTICAS PROFESIONALES NO LABORALES MECANIZADO POR CORTE Y CONFORMADO

In the project Options dialog, select Display Formats. The following fields will appear. This function allows you to set the format of device IDs, cross references and part numbers. There are tabs for ID & Cross Reference and Part Number.

Items that can be formatted are divided into groups:

• Device ID Formats

• Device Cross References

• Wire Link Cross References

• Part Numbers

The Device ID Formats group has an expand/contract (double arrow) button that allows you to collapse or display the items in that group. Part Number formatting is accessed through a separate tab.

Expand/Contract button

General Device ID Settings

At the top of the Display Formats dialog (ID & Cross Reference tab) is a group of settings that affect how device IDs are handled by the software.

Select the Adjust device ID when symbol(s) is moved checkbox if you wish a symbol’s ID to be updated when the symbol is moved, for example when the ID format includes the line number and the symbol is moved to a different line.

Select the Make Device ID Uniqueness Case Sensitive checkbox if you wish the case of letters in an ID to make a difference. For example, if you select this checkbox then LS2 and Ls2 will be considered two different IDs. If you do not select the checkbox, then two radio button options are available for making the case of IDs consistent: you can choose to Convert lowercase to uppercase or Convert uppercase to lowercase. Select the Enable Device ID Nesting to allow nested devices IDs. This applies only to symbols that are inside symbols created with the “symbol on the fly” function. Nested IDs allow these symbols to have a device ID that combines the ID of the “symbol on the fly” with the ID of the nested symbol. One application of this feature would be to use the box to represent a circuit board and then insert pin/plug symbols to represent the connectors on the board. The box could also represent a special controller module with terminal symbols inside that are related to that module. Selecting the Partial Tag radio button will display only the device ID of the nested symbol. Selecting the Complete Tag button will display the entire, combined device ID.

Device ID Format

For each format type, the dialog shows the name of the format that defines what the ID is currently based on (page and line number, sequential number, etc.).

Note: The Schematic (PLC Wired Device ID) and Schematic (PLC Wired Terminal ID) device ID formats will only be applied when the Replace Device ID function is used. The PLC Wired Device ID will assign the PLC address to the first non-terminal device connected to the PLC. The PLC Wired Terminal ID will assign the PLC address to the first terminal connected to the PLC.

The Profile Name field in the Device ID Format dialog displays the name of the

Parts of ID that will be displayed

The Complete Device ID area of the dialog allows you to define the elements of the complete device ID for symbols in a drawing. The list box displays the available elements in a complete device ID: Installation, Location, and Device Tag. To add one of these elements to the device ID, select it and click on the Add to Expression button. It will then appear on the right side of the dialog. (also see the figure on page 77). To remove an element from the device ID, select (highlight) it, then either press the <Delete> key or right click on the element and select Delete from the popup menu. Use the Clear button to empty the field of all selected elements. Use the Reset button to reload the combination of variables that you had when you entered the dialog.

The Identifiers area of the dialog allows you to define the characters that separate the device ID elements when displayed in a drawing or report (also see the figure on page 77). The default is “=” for Installations, “+” for locations, and “-” for the device tag. The Display fields allow you to select whether installation and location names will be displayed in device IDs always or only when the installation or location is different from that of the current drawing page.

Use the Device Tag Format area of the dialog to configure the device tag. The “device tag” is that part of the device ID that does not include the installation and location (see the following figure). The device tag consists of a “tag mnemonic” that is applied to every symbol of a given type (such as “K” or “CR” for a relay) and items that are assigned by the software individually for each instance of a symbol (such as page/line numbers and sequential numbers). The tag mnemonic is defined when a symbol is created.

Device Tag

Sequential Number [installation based] - A number incrementing from 1. Numbering is unique within each installation.

Sequential Number [location based] - A number incrementing from 1. Numbering is unique within each location name. If you have two locations with the same name in different installations, the numbering will extend across both locations. Use installation/location based numbering if you want locations with the same name to be numbered separately.

Sequential Number [page based] - A number incrementing from 1. Numbering is unique within the same page.

Sequential Number [line based] - A number incrementing from 1. Numbering is unique for each line number.

Tag Mnemonic - A group of alphanumeric characters that indicate the type of device that the device ID represents, such as CR or K for control relay or PB for pushbutton. On the drawing, the mnemonic that appears in the device tag will be taken from that which is defined in the symbol.

Page Number - The page number where the device ID is first used. Line Number - The line number where the device ID is first used.

Zone Number - The drawing zone number where the device ID is first used. PLC Address - (Available for PLC Wired Device ID and PLC Wired Terminal ID) The PLC I/O address to which the item is connected will be used in the device tag.

The right side of the dialog displays the currently selected device tag elements. Below this is an example of what the device tag will look like in an actual drawing. To remove an element from the device tag, select (highlight) it, then either press the <Delete> key or right click on the element and select Delete from the popup menu. Use the Clear button to empty the field of all selected elements. Use the Reset button to reload the combination of elements that you had when you entered the dialog. You can further format the device tag by selecting (highlighting) one of the selected elements. When you do this, additional fields become active.

The Prefix and Suffix fields allow you to define a character string that will be placed at the beginning (Prefix) or end (Suffix) of the label element.

The Width and Fill with fields allow you to set the number and type of characters that will be used for the selected tag element. These fields become available when you select a tag element and then select the Fixed number of characters checkbox. (If you do not select this checkbox the software will use as many characters as necessary for a given value.) The entry in the Width field sets the number of digits that will be used for the value (more will be used if necessary). The Fill with field defines the character that will be used if necessary to fill out the value to match the width value. Example: Page Number set to width 3, fill with 0. Device tags on page 2 will use the value 002. Device tags on page 13 will use the value 013. Device tags on page 3333 will use the value 3333.

The Duplicate Character area of the dialog allows you to format how tags will be labeled when more than one symbol of the same type are placed on the same line. The First number/character field defines how the symbols will be labeled, numbers or letters, and what the first value will be. The Separator field defines the character that will divide the value from the rest of the device tag. If you select the Suppress first occurrence checkbox, then the first item on the line will not have the additional value, but succeeding items will. For example: PB123, PB123.1, PB123.2. When you have made the desired changes to the device ID format, use the Save

Use the Save Profile button to save changes to the current profile. If desired, you can change the entry in the Profile Name field and save the changed profile under a different name. Use the Load Profile button to load a previously saved profile. Cross Ref Type - In this column, various types of devices are listed: NO (Normally

In the Parent Cross Reference Position fields, enter coordinates to determine the position of the cross reference. Enter the X offset from the insertion point of the symbol. Then enter the Y offset value and select whether this value is from the symbol insertion point or from the origin (0).

In the Child/Duplicate Cross Reference Position fields, set the position of cross reference that appear at child or duplicate symbols. Enter an X offset value in the X Offset field. In the Y Offset Multiplier field, enter a value that will be multiplied times the ID text height to yield the Y offset value. Negative numbers can be entered. There is also a checkbox Display Child Symbol Cross-referencing which you can select or de-select to show or hide cross references at child symbols.

Graphic style selection - There are several examples of graphic presentations of the cross reference in the dialog. You can click on the style that you prefer to select it.

Show CP Text - Select this checkbox if you wish the connection point text of the cross-referenced symbol to be included.

Cross Reference Format tab

Select this tab in the Device Cross Referencing dialog to display the following fields.

On the left side of the dialog is a list of available elements that can be added to the cross reference. To add an element, select (highlight) it, and then click the Add to Expression button. It will then be shown on the right side of the dialog as part of the cross reference.

The right side of the dialog displays the currently selected cross reference elements. Below this is an example of what the cross reference will look like in an actual drawing. To remove an element from the cross reference, select (highlight) it, then either press the <Delete> key or right click on the element and select Delete from the popup menu. Use the Clear button to empty the field of all selected elements. Use the Reset button to reload the combination of elements that you had when you entered the dialog.

The Prefix and Suffix fields allow you to define a character string that will be placed at the beginning (Prefix) or end (Suffix) of the cross reference element. These fields are active only when one of the cross reference elements is selected.

The Width and Fill with fields allow you to set the number and type of characters that will be used for the selected element. These fields appear when you select a tag element and then select the Fixed number of characters checkbox. (If you do not select this checkbox the software will use as many characters as necessary for a given value.) The entry in the Width field sets the number of digits that will be used for the value (more will be used if necessary). The Fill with field defines the character that will be used if necessary to fill out the value to match the width value. Example: Page Number set to width 3, fill with 0. Cross references to devices on page 2 will use the value 002. Cross references to devices on page 13 will use the value 013. Cross references to devices on page 3333 will use the value 3333.

When you have made the desired changes to the device cross reference format, use the Save Profile button to save the changes for all future projects using the profile. If you select the OK button (without saving) the changes will only apply to the current project.

Wire Link Cross Reference

Under Project Options, select Display Formats and click in the field for Wire Link. Select the Edit button to open the Wire Link Cross Reference Format dialog. This dialog functions the same as the one described for device ID formats. See page 76.

Part Number Display Configuration

To configure the display of part numbers, go to the Project Options dialog, select Display Formats and select the Part Number tab. The following fields will appear.

Delimiter For Part Number Quantity - This field allows you to specify characters that are used to separate the quantity from the part number displayed at the symbol in schematic drawings. (This applies when you use the Quantity field when assigning part numbers.) Examples:

Separator: {} Result: {5} 800T-001 Separator: : Result: 5:800T-001.

Display Multiple Part Numbers On Drawing - When a part number is assigned to a symbol it can be designated as the “primary” part number. If multiple part numbers are assigned to one symbol only one of them will be the primary. See page 298. Select the All radio button to display all the part numbers assigned to a symbol. Select the Only the primary radio button to display only the primary part number. If the Only the primary radio button is selected and there are additional part numbers assigned. a comma and ellipsis will appear after the primary part number. Example: ABC1001, ... Display Part Number - Select whether you wish the part number to be displayed above the device ID or below the device ID.

Suppress Part Numbers On Child Symbol - Select the checkbox if you wish the part number to be displayed only at the parent symbol. If the checkbox is not selected, the part number will appear at both parent and child symbols.
