Assigning Functional Symbol

This dialog box is only available, when a E3.FunctionalDesign or E3.topology license is present!

 

When one or several connection ports have been assigned to a functional block (in E3.FunctionalDesign) or an installation space (in E3.topology) in the Device Properties - Functional Ports dialog, these ports can then be assigned a symbol from the database with assigned functional unit by right-clicking in the corresponding row(s) of the connection port(s) within the dialog and selecting the Assign Functional Symbol command from the displayed context menu.

 

The following dialog box is displayed:

 

Assign Functional Symbol
Symbol	The desired functional symbol can then be selected here.
List options	The List options offer the possibility to select whether the symbol to be used has the same or a higher number of ports.
Port Name Signal Assignment	The lower part of this dialog displays the port name and the assigned signal. These values cannot be modified in this dialog.   Dependent on the Symbol selected, the corresponding assignment can be selected from the drop-down list.
