John,
This problem was a bit tricky... the issue is that the bottom part of this
split PLC or connector block has wire connection attributes that are
"floating" in space with no block graphics nearby (within a "trap" distance
of the end of the wire). The bottom green rectangle is not part of the
block. So, AcadE doesn't "see" the PLC block anywhere near the end of the
bottom of the wire.
If you move the "4-16" attribute text up just a bit (using the AcadE attrib
move tool) so it's closer to the end of the wire, then all is well. AcadE's
trap distance captures the attribute and then AcadE realizes that this wire
"touches" or connects to the block. The X?TERMxx attribute doesn't work for
this task because it is marked "invisible".
So, the solution is to either 1) make the bottom green rectangle part of
your split PLC connector block, or 2) modify your block and add near-zero
length line segments right on top of the wire connection points (so that
AcadE can "capture" some geometry at the end of the wire), or 3) make the
terminal text taller or move it up just a bit.

the two as noted. If just the rung (a wire) appears between these two
terminals, then both of the wire connections report.
