flags "Form-C", "8" is the common pin, "5" is the NO pin, and "6" is the NC
pin.
PEER_COILPINS, PEER_PINLIST
There can be two additional "PEER_" fields in the _PINLIST table for defining
special cases where a single part number calls out two parent devices. For
example, a reversing motor starter part number can include two parent
contactor coils, one for forward and one for reverse. Each parent coil symbol
must have its own pin list assignment. You set up the coil pins and pin list
data of the second coil in the PEER_COILPINS and PEER_PINLIST fields for
the common part number.
■ PEER_COILPINS: Terminal pin numbers for peer coils.
■ PEER_PINLIST: Contact type and pin numbers.
Set pin list assignments for special uses
You can set up subcategories of type 4 pin combinations so that some apply
to specific contact types and other pin combinations to other contact types.
You can also use a type 4 PINLIST assignment to track and control how many
schematic terminal symbols can be tied to a given terminal tag-ID.
For filtering of special contact use
You can set up subcategories of type 4 pin combinations so that some apply
to specific contact types and other pin combinations to other contact types.
Encode the Pin List entries with a "4" plus a character to provide further
filtering of what contacts are available for a given child contact. At the contact
end, an attribute PINLIST_TYPE (or Xdata of the same name) must carry a
value of "4" plus a character to match up with the coding in the pin list string.
For example, a given device has 5 N.O. contacts but they are not all the same.
Three of them are motor contacts and 2 are auxiliary control contacts. Two
different schematic symbols are created - one to be used to show the heavy-duty
motor starter contacts and another symbol to be used for auxiliary contacts.
Set up the motor starter contact symbol with attribute PINLIST_TYPE with a
value of "4C" and the auxiliary contact symbol with PINLIST_TYPE value "4A".
In the _PINLIST database table, encode the pin list information of the part
number with type "4" entries but use "4A" and "4C" to differentiate which
contact pin combinations are for the auxiliary contacts and which ones are
for the starter contacts.
