Smart Terminals for power distro

Anonymous

Good Morning,

 

 

Im trying to integrate smart terminals for the first time. I  have 24vdc coming in and feeding a series of breakers. Since they are 4 hole terminals you can get 3 breakers per terminal. When i do terminal strip editor it does not find the 3rd breaker. Ive tried placing the terminal in the middle so that there was 1 above and below, but that didn't work. The only way i can seem to get it to work is if the 3rd breaker connects directly into the terminal. 

 

I had another user test this and we was able to get it to work on Friday but cant get it to work now. Is there something that we are missing? We have the terminals set to be 1 layer with 4 per connection. We are using ACADE 2015.

The TSE don't reflect that you have four connections per side in the terminal block properties?
Can you double check that?

Good Afternoon,

 

Thanks for your prompt reply,

 

I must have changed it before i sent that. I have been playing around with the properties trying to get it to work.  I'm using Wago 2002-1401. 

 

 

Image result for 2002-1401

 

 

 

 

In the catalog i have levels = 1, and Wiresperconnection =4. I think i deleted those to see what would happen. Im not sure if 1 and 4 are what i want here. I want to use all 4 holes of the single level terminal with only 1 wire per hole.  I notice that when i set to 1,4 the image changed to this in editor:

OK, the Wires per connection refers to how many connections on each side of the terminal.

For the indicated terminal, it should be 2.

 

As for the third breaker not showing up, that may be a result of the wiring sequence.

What you want is all the breakers connecting Directly to the terminal however, ACADE has probably connected the third breaker to the previous breaker.

 

To fix, you need to go to the schematic and either change the dots to angled T's for the wire connections or edit the wire sequence using the 'Edit Wire Sequence' tool from the wiring tab.
