'Terminal Jumper' Attribute for Model Pin

For better routing and verifying, it is necessary to differentiate with model pins, whether it is a jumper pin (-> no wire connectable) , or a "normal" model pin for wires. The Jumper for Terminal attribute is therefore available.

 

This attribute can be assigned to any pin in Database Editor as well as in the project. The value is, equal to wires, the jumper level 0,....,n. Those jumper pins are displayed with a symbol in the Properties - Slots/Pins tab.

 

 

In the Settings it is possible to define a default jumper in Connections -> Conductors/Wires under Used Jumper Type; whereas the jumper cable type is defined under Jumper group and the jumper with the corresponding property under Jumper.

 

 

Usage when Automatically Connecting in the Panel

The jumpers that are defined in Settings -> Conductors/Wires -> Used Jumper Type are used for automatic connection in the panel, if no appropriate jumper is defined on the signal.

 

The following criteria are required for autoconnect:

• Both pins are jumper pins

• If the pins belong to the same jumper, it is possible to connect between different jumper levels, otherwise the levels must be the same

• Only same devices can be placed on a mounting rail

 

When manually connecting within the panel, jumpers are selected according to the criteria mentioned above.

 

Defining Jumper Type on Pin using Default Wire Type Attribute

For defining the pin's jumper type, the Default Wire Type attribute can be used. Specifying the types is done the same way as described under Wire selection when automatically wiring.
