Grounds and Ground Wiring Flow Using Shared Objects

You have the option of implementing ground devices without using the Ground Design functionality but instead using shared objects in Capital Logic Designer before placing them in Capital Systems Integrator.

Caution

If you want to use Ground Design functionality, see Grounds and Ground Wiring Flow Using Ground Design Functionality. For an overview of the possible flows and the differences between them, see Implementing Grounds in the Generative Flow.

In Capital Logic Designer:

For each ground point, place multiple instances of a shared normal device that you want to represent it. See Adding a Shared Device/Connector/Splice to a Diagram in the Capital Logic Designer User Guide. Note You cannot use a ground device symbol to add a ground point because such symbols cannot be shared.
For each ground point, add a shared net that connects all of the instances of it. This shared net represents the entire ground signal connected to the ground point. See Adding a Shared Conductor to a Diagramin the Capital Logic Designer User Guide.

In Capital Systems Integrator:

Place the ground points in slots in the same way as you place a normal device. See either Manually Placing a Normal or Ground Device in a Slot (remembering that the ground point has been created as a normal device) or Automatically Placing a Normal Device in a Slot.
