Setting up PEER_COILPINS and PEER_PINLIST
The PEER_ fields in the Pin List database specify pin list assignments for a
single part number with two parent devices. You set up the second coil's coil
pins and pin list data in the PEER_COILPINS and PEER_PINLIST fields for the
common part number. This is commonly used for setting up forward and
reversing starters or latching and unlatching relays. You apply the pins to the
forward (latching) relay, and then apply the peer pins to the reversing
(unlatching) relay.
To split the pin list data between two peer coil symbols:
1 Insert the first coil symbol and make the catalog look-up selection.
The COILPINS and PINLIST data is found and applied to the coil symbol.
Any defined peer coil and pinlist data is also saved on the symbol as
invisible xdata.
2 Insert the second coil symbol but do not make a catalog assignment.
3 In the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, click NO/NC Setup.
4 Click Pick.
5 Select the first coil symbol.
The saved peer pinlist data is moved from the first symbol over to this
peer symbol. Child contacts can now be auto-annotated with the selected
coil's available pin list information and max NO/NC count tracked on a
per-coil basis.
Set up AutoCAD Electrical for multiple users
You can manually move any shared files to a new central location after
installation by using normal Microsoft Windows operations to cut or copy
and paste from their local location to a central shared location. These shared
files are located by AutoCAD Electrical as long as they are placed in the
AutoCAD Electrical defined path (such as in the project's subdirectory), the
path given by the AutoCAD Electrical environment variable, or AutoCAD
search paths.
NOTE We recommend that you create a backup of your information in another
location and remove the shared data from your local drive to ensure that the data
is being located correctly.
