Usage Example -Grouping Wires into Signals in Capital Wiring Integrator

This example demonstrates the functionality of the Associate Signals By Attribute or Property dialog box.

Figure 206 shows the simple wiring design used in this example, including the devices, connectors, and wires between them.

Figure 206: Wire Grouping Example - Logical Design

Wire -199- has a property Topo_Signal with the value Sig01.
Wires -200- and -201- have the property Topo_Signal with the value Sig02.

Figure 207 shows the simple Capital Wiring Integrator diagram used in this example, including the slots, bundles, slot connectors, and inline pairs.

The slot, slot connectors, and inline pairs have the same names as the corresponding objects on the logical design so that associations will be created automatically.

Prerequisites

Create a new project to work in for the duration of the example.
Create a new logical design and diagram, and add the devices, connectors, inline pairs, and wires as shown in Figure 206.
Create a new topology diagram, and add the slots, slot connectors, inline pairs, and bundles as shown in Figure 207.

Procedure

With the topology diagram open in Capital Logic Designer, press the space bar and enter Associate Signals By.The Associate Signals By Attribute or Property Dialog Box is displayed.
Select Property and enter Topo_Signal in the dropdown list box, and then click OK.
Press the space bar and enter Associate Logical Designs.The Associate Wiring Designs Dialog Box is displayed.
Select the logical design you created from the Available list, click Add to move it into the Associated list, and then click OK to associate the designs.The topology objects are associated with the logical objects of the same name and the wires are displayed in the Design Browser (Capital Wiring Integrator), grouped as shown in Figure 208: Figure 208: Wire Grouping Example - Grouped Wires Wire -199- is placed under the signal Sig01, which was the value of the Topo_Signal property on it in the Capital Logic Designer design.

Wires -200- and -201- are grouped under the signal Sig02, which was the value of the Topo_Signal property on them in the Capital Logic Designer design.
