Specific Terminal Block Locations on Schematic

Anonymous

Hello,

I am a newbie to autocad electrical and this may be a simple task I am just looking for how to do it and best practice. I am looking for a way to denote on specific location of the strip,block and position within that block on the control schematic. For instance, if choosing Wago 2002-1401, it is only a single level terminal block but has 4 positions. It only comes in in the strip editor as 1 level. Which to me,from what I seen, means I can only assign it once on the control schematic. In reality I should be able to assign it 4 times. Then, after I assign it 4 times I would like it to be on the print in what position within that one block you should wire to. Am I trying to do something unique here. Ive watched many of videos and read a lot of forum and didn't see anyone attempting this.

Perhaps treat it as a multi-level terminal with one wire allowed per connection.  You can edit the block properties to make it 4 level, with one wire per connection.  You can set this up permanently by editing the record for that part number in the Catalog Browser.  You can then place a terminal symbol 4 times, assigning each symbol to represent a different level of the same block.  This is very easy to do, using the Terminal Strip Editor.  It is how we manage multi-tier blocks.  Each terminal symbol in the schematic will need to be assigned a unique terminal (position) number.  In Terminal Strip Editor, use multi-level association to merge the 4 positions into one block.
