Slot Circuit

The Generate Slot Circuit dialog box enables you to create a new Capital Logic Designer design and connectivity for the interior of a slot in a Capital Systems Integrator design. The connectivity is generated for a specific vehicle configuration. You also have the option of creating a diagram of the connectivity. Before you can do this, you must have placed devices and synthesized wiring for the vehicle configuration in the Capital Systems Integrator design.

The connectivity is determined from the functional devices placed in the slot, the signals on the pins of the functional devices and the pin map to the slot connectors.

The slot circuit that is generated includes each functional device that is placed in the slot. Connectivity  between these functional devices is defined as net conductors. A logical connector is added for each slot connector from the Capital Systems Integrator design.

If a slot is integral to the harness, this means the system marks one or more slot connectors as integral. See Including a Slot with a Harness for more information. In this case, one logical connector is generated that combines all of the integral slot connectors.

If you have combined devices in Capital Systems Integrator, the system uses a single device in the slot circuit. If you placed shared devices in the slot, only one device represents the complete shared device in the slot circuit.

If there are variant placements in the slot, only the placements that are active for the selected vehicle configuration are generated in the slot circuit.

Variant connectors (bundle fan-outs) do not affect the slot circuit that is generated because these model the connector plug ends. The slot circuit only uses the receptacle (jack) ends of connectors that are considered to be part of the equipment. The receptacles do not vary with vehicle configurations.

Note

The Generate Slot Circuit dialog box makes no distinction between backshells and cavities and therefore uses the same graphics for both.
