Slot Connector

Also referred to as a virtual connector, a slot connector connects devices in a slot to a bundle. There must be a slot connector wherever a bundle connects to a slot.

Generally, you can have only one bundle going into a slot connector. However, there are ways to model multiple harnesses at a connector (seeMultiple Harnesses at Connectors).

When devices are placed in a slot, there are signals that travel through pins on the devices and that need to pass out of the slot through cavities in the slot connectors. You specify the pins and signals in Capital Logic Designer. In Capital Systems Integrator, you add cavities to the slot connector and define through which cavity in which slot connector each signal from a device travels.

When you create a bundle that connects to a slot, a slot connector is created automatically where the bundle and slot connect.

In Capital Systems Integrator, physical device connectors and physical harness connectors are managed in tandem with slot connectors. This means, when a slot connector is created, a physical device connector and physical harness connector pair is created as well. The pins on the physical connectors are mated to each other and referenced by a cavity. See Device Connectors and Harness Connectors in Capital Systems Integrator for more information.

You cannot delete a slot connector if:

• The slot placement is constrained. See Device Connectors and Harness Connectors in Capital Systems Integrator for more information about constrained placements.

• The slot has more than one integral slot connector and they are associated with a library part.

• Adding a Slot Connector to a Slot Manually

• Moving a Slot Connector
