Functions

Functions let you group devices constituting a feature within your installation. Do not confuse functions with locations, which relate to a position within an assembly.

To access the Functions, do one of the following:
  • Click Electrical project > Functions .
  • In the dockable panel, right-click an electrical project and click Configurations > Electrical project > Function management .

A dialog box opens to let you manage the functions of the electrical project.
