Table Of Contents
A complete list of components is extracted from the project drawing set. The
tag of the component is read, then all associated components are found and
listed in the dialog box. A bill of material check can be performed to see if the
description of the item indicates that the quantity of contacts can be
accommodated.
References
N.O. references: Lists the number of normally open contacts assigned to
the selected component.
N.C. references: Lists the number of normally closed contacts assigned to
the selected component.
Other references: Lists the number of child devices that are neither NO
or NC contacts. They can include pins of a connector, form C contacts, or
general devices that are being referenced.

description text for the reference.
Parent Information
Manufacturer code: Lists the associated manufacturing code of the parent

Catalog number: Lists the associated catalog number of the parent (if one
