Jumper terminals and wire numbers

I inserted contacts and connect them to the terminals.

Terminals XT1:1 and XT1:4 are layered.

Start Edit > button Add / Modify and associate terminals XT1:2 and XT1:3 to the terminal XT1:1.

Start Associate terminal and associate terminals XT1:5 and XT1:6 to the terminal XT1:4.

Start wire numbering.

Wire connected to terminal XT1:3, assigned to the wrong number.

If, the terminals are connected by an internal jumper, then they need to connect the wires with the same number.

Edit > button Add / Modify incorrectly labels the wire.

Jumper is for linking terminals together, while associate is for multi level terminals.

 

For a multi level terminal with internal jumpers, you would use both.

 

First associate the terminals so they are linked as one multi level terminal, then add the jumper to link them internally. Don't add a part number for the jumper.

 

To have wire numbers NOT change going through the terminals, you need to use the correct block for the terminal symbol.this ties in with the jumpers as well.

 

For example, a block for a terminal where the wire number changeswill still expect a different wire number when it is jumpered and the jumpered terminal will not pick up any wire numbers.

 

If the block is a terminal where the wire number does not change then the wire number will be passed to the jumpered block as well as to any other wires connected to it.

I place terminals Multiple Insert (Icon Menu) command. For all terminals use the same symbol.

After the wire numbering attribute X8TERM01 assigned different values for different terminals.

If the terminals are connected with Associate terminal, X8TERM01 attribute is assigned a value of the attribute TERM01 multi-level terminal.

If the terminals are connected using Edit> button Add / Change, the value of attribute X8TERM01 and TERM01 same.
