Forcing a break
You can pre-define a module break point in the Module Terminal Information
table. Add "\SPECIAL=BREAK" on the line where you want the break to occur.
20 terminals are allowed on the parametric build symbols by default. If the
module exceeds 20 terminals the break is placed in a logical location; such as
after a grouping of I/O addressing. For example, a 32 I/O point card could
have 36 terminals on it, the module definition would run the break command
at 18 (after the first set of 16 I/O addresses). If you want to break the module
sooner you can use the PLC Database File Editor to add the break command
or do the following in the Module Terminal Information table.
HP?WA-D;TERM_07\SPECIAL=BREAK
Triggering for reprompt of I/O address
Some modules include inputs and outputs. You can trigger AutoCAD Electrical
to prompt for a new beginning address number when the parametric build
flips from inputs to outputs or vice versa. Add "\SPECIAL=ADDR_OUT" on
the line where you want a prompt for a new output address or add
"\SPECIAL=ADDR_IN" if you want a prompt for a new beginning input address.
Including unused terminals
Some modules may have terminals that are not used. Unused terminals are
skipped by default, resulting in a compact representation of the module. You
can set up the PLC database file to show unused terminals optionally by adding
"\SPECIAL_INCLUDE" and "\SPECIAL_EXCLUDE" in the Module Terminal
Information table.
