and select Edit Terminal from the context menu.
The Select Terminal Information dialog box displays. There are 3 categories

category consists of non-addressable terminals.
2 In the Select Terminal Information dialog box, select Top Input.
The available terminals for that category are displayed along with any
recently used terminals. Each terminal shown is slightly different. It may
have an input wire connection terminal or have terminals for both input
and output, or it may not have a wire connection.

The selected terminal is assigned to the Terminal Type in the PLC Database
File Editor dialog box. AutoCAD Electrical looks at the block to see what
attributes come in when the block is inserted. Some of the attributes come
in with predefined values that can be overwritten. You will see these
predefined values in the grid below the terminal type list.

terminals, right-click and select Edit Terminal.
NOTE You can select multiple fields to edit at the same time by dragging
your mouse across contiguous fields or by holding down the Control key
while selecting non-contiguous fields.
