Example Flow for Using Design-Wide Objects to

Create a Contactor Configuration

For a contactor configuration, you can create a new object using devices that are merged. However, the required configuration may require symbol pins to be renamed beforehand.

Procedure

1. Place a COIL symbol with pin names X1 and X2; default device name is DEV1.

2. Place a CONTACT symbol with pin names 1 and 2; default device name is DEV2.

3. Right-click DEV2 and select Merge Into.The Merge Into Dialog Box is displayed where you select DEV1.

4. DEV2 is merged into DEV1 resulting in one device with pins X1, X2, 1, and

6. Place another CONTACT symbol with pin names 1 and 2; default device name is DEV3.

7. To rename the pins DEV3 to 4 and 5, right-click the pin and select Properties, and then edit the value in the Name field.

8. Right-click DEV3 and select Merge Into.The Merge Into dialog box is displayed where you select DEV1.

9. DEV3 is merged into DEV1 resulting in one device with pins X1, X2, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

10. When you run a design rule check to find whether symbols are up-to-date, no error is reported.
