5.12.11.4.3. Classify "Equivalent potentials"

For terminals often the concept of "equivalent potentials/names" is found. This describes the case of several connections connected with one another.

In the CNS classification, this is mapped under the CNS_CP|4|3 (Electrical Connection) class using the identifier and connection name equivalences features.

Dialog box "Class variables"

Precondition for classifying is that connection points are already set for the respective connections.

In the following the procedure is described for the Weidmüller Terminal 1690000000.

  1. Each connection is given a unique ID under Identifier (e.g. "EC_01.01").

  2. Each connection is given an entry with the IDs of the equivalent connections under Connection name equivalences.

    Example:

    We are looking at the connection with "EC_01.01". This is equivalent to the connections with the identifiers [Identifier] "EC_01.04", "EC_01.03" and "EC_01.02".

    The Identifier line receives the following entry:

    EC_01.01

    The line Connection name equivalences gets the following entry:

    EC_01.04||EC_01.03||EC_01.02

  3. To ensure that the correct circuit diagram is assigned, the following entry must be made under Connection EclassSymbolMap:

    E00145||2||2
