Translation of Objects When Using Partitioned Wiring

Diagrams as Templates (Prototypes)

When you use Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator to generate partitioned diagrams using a user-partitioned wiring diagram as a template (prototype) design, the system translates various types of objects in particular ways.

Note

For details of how to partition wiring diagrams in Capital Logic Designer see Partitioning a Capital Schematic Generator Wiring Diagram.

Existing

Device Distribution

When selecting a prototype in Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator, you can select a design that includes partitioned wiring diagrams. This is where a user has partitioned a wiring diagram in the prototype design into multiple diagrams and those wiring diagrams refer to the same functional diagram. During distribution of devices, if Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator identifies that a prototype of a device is already distributed to one of the wiring diagrams, then it will not distribute it to other diagrams in the group.

Diagram

Splitting

If a user has partitioned a wiring diagram in a functional design (user-created diagrams A, B, and C in the figure below) and then selects that design as a prototype when generating diagrams using Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator, then Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator creates three diagrams for the functional design that have the same content. As explained above, if Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator identifies that a prototype of a device is already distributed to one of the wiring diagrams, then it will not distribute it to other diagrams in the group.

New

Device Distribution

If a new device has been added to the source functional diagram after the wiring diagrams were partitioned, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator distributes the device to a diagram based on how the device pins are connected to other devices.

New

Pin Distribution

The following section describes the distribution of new pins in three different scenarios.

• Scenario 1: New pin distribution if the device has exactly one prototype Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator adds the new pin to that prototype. For example: A new signal COND3 (shown in violet) has been added to a functional design. This change has included a new PIN2 on DEV1 in the top diagram and new device DEV4 in the new bottom diagram. Figure 368: Scenario 1: Updated Functional Source Before COND3 was added to the functional design, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator was used to generate a wiring diagram for it as below. Figure 369: Scenario 1: Original Generated Wiring Diagram A user then partitioned the generated wiring diagram as follows with DEV1 on one diagram, DEV2 and DEV3 on a second diagram. Figure 370: Scenario 1: User-partitioned Wiring Diagrams In Capital Systems Integrator, DEV4 is placed in a new slot (violet color). Figure 371: Scenario 1: Capital Systems Integrator Diagram with New Slot A Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator run using the partitioned diagrams as prototypes would place: The new DEV1: PIN2 on DEV1 in the top generated diagram below because it is the only prototype instance of DEV1.

The new DEV4 in a third wiring diagram because there was no prototype for it or its functional diagram.

Figure 372: Scenario 1: Prototype-Based Wiring Diagrams

• Scenario 2: New pin distribution if the device has more than one prototype Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator adds the new pin to the wiring diagram that comes first in the sorting order. Note Diagram names are generated by combining the functional design name, functional diagram name, and the partition name (if partitioning has taken place) or the name of the prototype diagram. The sorting order is the alphanumerical order of those generated names.

For example: A new signal COND3 (shown in violet) has been added to a functional design. This change has included a new PIN3 on DEV1 and a new device DEV4. Figure 373: Scenario 2: Updated Functional Source Before COND3 was added to the functional design, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator was used to generate a wiring diagram for it as follows. Figure 374: Scenario 2: Original Generated Wiring Diagram A user then partitioned the generated wiring diagram as follows with DEV1:PIN1 on one diagram, DEV1:PIN2 on a second, DEV2 and DEV3 on a third. Figure 375: Scenario 2: User-partitioned Wiring Diagrams In Capital Systems Integrator, DEV1 is already placed in a slot DEV1 and the new DEV4 is placed in slot DEV101 with devices DEV2 and DEV3. Figure 376: Scenario 2: Capital Systems Integrator Diagram A Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator run using the partitioned diagrams as prototypes would place: The new DEV1: PIN3 on DEV1 in the top generated diagram because it is the first diagram in the alphanumerical sorting order.

The new DEV4 in the bottom diagram because it was placed in the same slot as DEV2 and DEV3. This meant prototype devices existed for DEV2 and DEV3 but the DEV4:PIN1 could not be placed on them. Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator therefore places the new DEV4 with its pin on the same diagram as DEV2 and DEV3.

Figure 377: Scenario 2: Prototype-Based Wiring Diagrams Consider an alternative case where DEV4 was placed in a new slot in the Capital Systems Integrator diagram. Figure 378: Scenario 2: Alternative Capital Systems Integrator Diagram with New Slot A Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator run using the partitioned diagrams as prototypes would place DEV4 on the top diagram below because DEV1:PIN3 is the other pin where signal COND3 terminates. Figure 379: Scenario 2: Alternative Prototype-Based Wiring Diagrams

• Scenario 3: New pin distribution to the nearest internal content diagram If there are any pins to be distributed as a result of new pins added on the functional devices, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator distributes them to the wiring diagram that contains other pins that can be reached by the shortest path from the new device pin. For example, if a new functional pin is connected to wires and splices that already exist on a prototype diagram, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator distributes the new pin to that diagram. Consider the following where a new signal COND1 (shown in violet) has been added to a functional design. This change has included a new a new device DEV4 with PIN1. COND1 connects this pin to a splice in the middle of the diagram. Figure 380: Scenario 3: Updated Functional Source Before COND1 was added to the functional design, Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator was used to generate a wiring diagram for it as follows. Figure 381: Scenario 3: Original Generated Wiring Diagram A user then partitioned the generated wiring diagram as follows with DEV1 on one diagram, DEV2 and the splice pin on a second, DEV3 on a third. Figure 382: Scenario 3: User-partitioned Wiring Diagrams In Capital Systems Integrator, DEV4 is placed in a new slot DEV4. Figure 383: Scenario 3: Capital Systems Integrator Diagram A Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator run using the partitioned diagrams as prototypes would place DEV4 on the second diagram below with the splice pin because the splice pin is the nearest internal content representation with an existing prototype. Figure 384: Scenario 3: Prototype-Based Wiring Diagrams Consider an alternative case where the splice pin is present on all of the user-partitioned diagrams. Figure 385: Scenario 3: Alternative User-Partitioned Diagrams with Splice on Each A Capital Schematic Generator for Systems Integrator run using the partitioned diagrams as prototypes would place DEV4 on the top diagram below because the splice is present on all prototype diagrams and the top one is the first diagram in the alphanumerical sorting order.
