Library Part Usage in Capital Systems Integrator

If a slot is included with a harness, you can assign a library part to the underlying physical connector. To do this, you continue as though assigning a library part to the slot, but the library part is really assigned to the connector.

Footprint

Library Parts

In Capital Logic Designer designs, devices can have a library part associated with them. If the library part has a footprint associated with it, this affects what you can do in Capital Systems Integrator.

When the device with the footprint is placed in a slot in Capital Systems Integrator, the physical connectors are defined by this information. This means that you cannot delete related slot connectors in a slot that has such a library part assigned.

Parts

on Slots

A slot is treated like a 'room' and the physical device of the slot is the equipment that may contain multiple devices. A library part assigned to the slot is for the equipment, not for the device or devices placed inside the slot.

Parts

on Specialized Connectors and Generalized Connectors

You can assign a library part to a slot connector or inline connector half (generalized connectors). If you do this, you cannot use the Refine Connector dialog box to define specialized connectors.

If you have defined specialized connectors for a generalized connector, you cannot use the Edit Properties dialog box to assign a library part to the generalized connector. If you want to do this, you must delete any bundle fanouts that you have created for it.

If you have defined specialized connectors, you can use the Refine Connector dialog box (see Connector Refinement and Signal Mapping) to assign library parts to the individual specialized connectors. If a specialized connector has been defined by a footprint in Capital Logic Designer, you cannot assign a library part to it in Capital Systems Integrator.

When adding or changing a library part for a device that already exists in a design, the list of devices from Capital Component Manager is filtered to show only those with the an equal or greater number of cavities to the device in the design.
