This dialog box is common to the properties of a manufacturer part stored
in the catalog and the properties of a component of the current electrical
project. When you assign a manufacturer part to a component, the catalog
data are copied to the electrical project. They can be different.
All these values can be used during the search for a manufacturer part.
General
Reference: A code identifying
the manufacturer part.
Manufacturer: The name of the
manufacturer or brand of the device.
Class: The class to which the
equipment belongs. To modify the class the manufacturer part belongs to,
click [...] and select the class.
Library: Select the library
in which the manufacturer part is stored.
Type: There are several types:
Base
manufacturer part type is an element with a graphic representation in
a drawing with device terminal numbers displayed. Example: a circuit breaker.
Auxiliary
manufacturer part type is an element with a graphic representation in
a drawing which is a child to a Base.
Example: a contact.
Accessory
manufacturer part type is an element without a graphic representation
which is a child to a Base or
Auxiliary. Example: a label.
And other types for specific
devices.
Article number: Internal information
managed by the user.
External ID: The External ID
is used to link an element with the corresponding one in an external application.
Exclude from the bill of materials:
You can select this option if you want to hide this manufacturer part
in the bill of materials. In the report properties, activate the filter
named Hide excluded BOM. This
option propagates in the manufacturer part properties associated with
a component of the project. It also propagates in the 3D part or assembly
properties.
Series: Often, the manufacturer
parts are grouped by series such as TESYS
in the Schneider catalog.
Data sheet: Allows you to assign
a link with the manufacturer part. This link can be a file such as "Instructions
for use" or "Technical specifications" or an "Internet
link". To create the link, click [...]
and select the file or enter the Web address. The Open
button allows you to open the link.
Mark root: Lets the root mark be used when you create a component.
If no value is entered, the root associated with the class
is used.
Description: Lets you enter a description in all languages managed
by the software. The specific icon allows you to open the language selector.
Commercial reference: The commercial
number. You can use an internal reference or the range of the device,
for example. Enter the value in all languages managed by the software.
The specific icon allows you to open the language
selector.
Supplier
Supplier name: Lets you enter
the supplier name.
Stock number: Lets you enter
the stock number of the supplier.
Information
Creator: Displays the origin
of the object (System = provided
with the software installation, User
= created by a user, and Modified system
= provided with the software installation and modified by the user)
Created by: Displays the name
of the user who created the object.
Creation date: Displays the
date of the creation of the object.
Modified by: Displays the name
of the user who modified the object.
Modification date: Displays
the date of the modification of the object.
Illustration
This section allows you to assign a specific symbol to the manufacturer
part. Click [...] to open
the selector corresponding to the different symbols.
Line diagram: Lets to assign
a line diagram symbol to the manufacturer part.
Scheme: Lets to assign a schematic
symbol to the manufacturer part.
3D part: Lets to assign a 3D
part or assembly to the manufacturer part used for the 3D
layout.
2D footprint: Lets to assign
a 2D footprint symbol to the manufacturer part used for the 2D cabinet
layout.
Connection label: Lets to assign
a connection label symbol to the manufacturer part.
Printed circuit board file:
Lets to assign a PCB symbol to the manufacturer part.
Terminal type: Allows you to
define the symbol of terminal type, associated with this manufacturer
part, that can be used to generate the terminal strip drawings. To use
this symbol, you must activate the Insert
custom symbol parameter in
the Terminal strip
drawing configuration. This value propagates to all components of
the electrical project using this manufacturer part.
Terminal strip symbol: Allows
you to define the terminal strip symbol, associated with this manufacturer
part, that can be used to generate the terminal strip drawings. To use
this symbol, you must activate the Insert
custom symbol parameter in
the Terminal strip
drawing configuration. This value propagates to all components of
the electrical project using this manufacturer part.
Size
Width: Indicates the width of
the manufacturer part (used in 2D or 3D layout).
Height: Indicates the height
of the manufacturer part (used in 2D or 3D layout).
Depth: Indicates the depth of
the manufacturer part (used in 2D or 3D layout).
Use / Control
Enter electrical data for the manufacturer part. These values are used
as criteria to find the manufacturer part.
Manufacturer data
The manufacturer data displayed in this section depends on the Class
you selected in the General
section. Enter the different values for these data.
