Constraining the Association of Logical Harness

Connectors to Slot Connectors

You can use the Assign Connector by Attribute/Property constraint to control the association of logical harness connectors to slot connectors based on attribute and property values.

This constraint is not normally required as the default behavior is to associate connectors with the same name. This constraint would only be used if you wanted harness connectors in Capital Logic Designer to have different names from slot connectors in Capital Wiring Integrator.

Note

You can bundle constraints into rules that you can set on objects. See Rules and Constraints to create rules.

Rules and constraints adhere to hierarchies. That means, if they are set on an object, child objects inherit them. For example, you can set constraints for a diagram so that they are inherited by all objects on the diagram (in this case, all slots and connectors). See Setting Constraints for an Entire Topology Diagram. You can also set this constraint on a slot so that all slot connectors inherit it.

Procedure

Select a slot:Press the space bar and enter Properties.

Right-click and select Properties.

Double-click the slot connector.

The Edit Properties dialog box is displayed. To set this constraint for the entire diagram, see Setting Constraints for an Entire Topology Diagram.

Click the Rules tab and click the Add Constraint button.The Constraint Selection dialog box is displayed.
Select Assign Connector by Attribute/Property and click OK.The constraint is added to the Edit Properties dialog box.
Edit the constraint as required and click OK.

Results

The constraint is applied when Capital Logic Designer designs are associated with the topology diagram and when updated data from the Capital Logic Designer design is synchronized with the topology design.
