Conditional component insertion
As Circuit Builder dynamically builds the circuit, a circuit element selection
may require a conditional component insertion. For example, there may be
an option to insert either a “start” push button or a N.O. relay contact at the
insertion point of a marker block. If a momentary push button is selected then
a “seal” contact should be inserted around the push button at the location
marked with a separate marker block. However, if the N.O. relay contact option
is selected, then no seal contact is needed and wires must be trimmed or
removed.
1 Open the circuit template drawing that contains the marker block for
the selected component, for example the momentary push button. Take
note of the value of its ORDER attribute.
2 Find the wire that should receive the conditional component. Add a
marker block with the same ORDER attribute value.
3 Assign a unique CODE attribute value to this conditional marker block,
for example “XY02”.
4 Find the wires to remove or trim if the conditional component is not
needed.
5 Add marker blocks on each of these wire segments. Edit the ORDER
attribute value to match the one on the marker block for the conditional
component.
6 Assign the same CODE value to each wire marker block, for example
“XY01”. This CODE value should not be the same as the one assigned to
the conditional component marker block.
7 Save the circuit template drawing.
