Module Box Dimensions
Opens a dialog box for defining the outer box dimensions of the module. The
box dimensions are calculated from the insertion point of the
parametrically-built PLC symbols.
Module Prompts
Opens a dialog box for defining up to nine prompts to be used at the time of
module insertion. You can specify the prompt number and the accompanying
text, or you can remove prompts from this dialog box.
Terminal block settings
Adds or updates the symbols available to build a module.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Insert PLC (Parametric) tool to access the PLC Database
File Editor tool. Click Settings.
From the Components menu, select Insert PLC Modules ➤ PLC Database File
Editor. Click Settings.
You can add a terminal to the list by clicking in any box in the last entry of
the list. A blank entry line is added to the bottom of the list. You must define
the block name, assign it to a terminal category for selection, give it a
description, and assign a bitmap to be used for dialog displays.
Block File Name
Defines the AutoCAD drawing file name that is inserted if this terminal is
included in your PLC module. These PLC symbols are stored in the symbol
library of the active project with the other AutoCAD Electrical component
symbols. Their file names begin with the characters "HP" (Horizontal ladder
rungs/PLC) or "VP" (Vertical ladder rungs/PLC) followed by a digit that
corresponds to a PLC I/O style number.
Category
Defines the category for the terminal. When you add a new terminal, you
select from a list of terminal categories and that group of terminals is displayed.
There are some categories by default (such as Input or Output) but you can
add your own by typing in the edit box. This new category is added to the
list.
