Slots

Slots represent the location of electrical equipment within the electrical wiring system. At the most basic level, a slot is a connection point to the harness system. A slot is also referred to as a component. Electrical devices, as defined in the associated Capital Logic Designer diagrams, are placed into slots in the topology diagram to define connectivity.

Slots are connected together by bundles and there must be a slot connector or a hole wherever a bundle connects to a slot.

You can place logical devices in slots in two ways:

• Create an empty slot prior to associating a Capital Logic Designer design with the topology design and place a device in it after the association. Note that when you associate a Capital Logic Designer design with the topology design, any logical device with a name matching a topology slot name is placed in that slot automatically.

• Create a slot for a specific device after a Capital Logic Designer design has been associated with the topology design. This action creates the slot and places the device in one step.

To place multiple devices in one slot, you can use the “Place by Attribute/Property” constraint to force the placement. If there is a direct connection (wire) between two devices placed in one slot, the wire connecting them is listed below the slot in the Design Browser (Capital Wiring Integrator).

Once devices have been placed in a slot, you can view a read-only signal map to see which signals and wires are entering the slot at which connector cavities or holes.
