You can predefine other attribute values (such as pin number assignments)
using the format
"mainval;attributename2=attributevalue2;attributename3=attributevalue3,”
and so on. Enter it in any inline component column except the Block column
defining the block name of the component. For example, to annotate pins as
“21” and “22”, you can modify the DnLOC field by entering “Field;
TERM01=21;TERM02=22”; where “Field” is the main attribute value and
“TERM01=21” assigns a value of 21 to the component’s TERM01 attribute and
“TERM02=22” assigns a value of 22 to the component’s TERM02 attribute.
Components for input modules are inserted left-to-right, while components
for output modules are inserted right-to-left. The spacing between devices (as
defined in your settings) is maintained even if no component is defined for
a particular column.
Special wiring for inline components
Normally each inline component is wired in series connected from the bus
to the I/O point. AutoCAD Electrical also supports jumpers between adjacent
rungs. To direct AutoCAD Electrical to use a jumper, you encode the jumper
as one of the available inline devices. Use the "|" character as the symbol block
name for the jumper. To control removal of wire connections, follow the "|"
character with four characters to cover upper left, upper right, lower left, and
lower right connections. Use "W" to keep the wire connection and "X" to
remove. For example, a block name of "|WWXW" inserts a jumper and trims
the lower left wire connection. "|XWXW" trims away the left-hand wire
connections of both top and bottom. Just a "|" for the block name is the same
as "|WWWW", all wire connection retained.
Wiring to analog input or output modules might need to loop back to a return
terminal instead of going all the way across to a power bus. You can direct
the generator to pop in a vertical short wire to loop back around. For looping
