One-line symbols
A one-line symbol can be a parent, child, or terminal. These one-line symbols
use the same attributes as the schematic parent, child, and terminal symbols
but with the following exceptions.
DescriptionAttribute
The attribute must be present and carry a value of “1-” to indicate it
is a one-line symbol, or “1-1” for the one-line bus-tap symbols. A
WDTYPE
bus-tap symbol is used to mark the beginning of a one-line circuit.
Schematic symbols do not carry this attribute or have the attribute
but with a blank value.
Omitted from one-line cable markers symbols since a one-line cable
marker can represent multiple conductors, multiple wires, or core
color assignments.
RATING1
Omitted from one-line terminal symbols since a one-line terminal can
represent multiple independent terminals.
TERM01
If a TERM01 attribute is added to a one-line symbol and carries a non-
blank value, it can be edited in the Insert/Edit Terminal Symbol dialog
box. However, terminal number text on one-line terminal symbols is
not linked back to terminal number assignments on schematic or
panel terminal representations.
NOTE Terminal Strip Editor does not process one-line terminals.
Hydraulic and P&ID symbols
