Multilevel terminals are specific terminals on which you can connect several wires or
cable cores. They have several circuits, unlike the single terminals that have only one circuit.
To identify multilevel terminals, you can specify a special marking by indicating the level
number.
Multilevel Terminal Mark
The multilevel terminal marking is not set in the electrical project configuration as the
other elements. Each terminal can have its own mark style. You can use the same mark style
as the symbols or use a specific marking in which you have the terminal number, a separator
character (a dot), and the level number; for example, 1.3 represents terminal 1, level
3.
The Component properties dialog box lets you affect the multilevel
terminal mark as the other components. In the Mark section, select
Use level marks to activate this previous mark style. If you prefer
to mark the multilevel terminals as the other components, use the traditional marking mode
(Automatic or Manual).
Create or Edit Multilevel Terminals
To create a multilevel terminal:
- Create single terminals.
- Group several terminals to generate a multilevel terminal by doing one of the following:
- Using reserved terminals. In the Terminal strip
editor dialog box, create the reserved terminals. Manage the levels
from these terminals. In the schematic drawings, when you insert the terminal, in
the Terminal symbol properties dialog box, select the
existing terminal (and level) in the component tree (on the top-right of the dialog
box).
- Define the levels in the Terminal strip editor. Inserts
single terminals in the schematic drawings and manages the levels in the
Terminal strip editor dialog box.
Renumber Multilevel Terminals
The Renumber terminal strip terminals
dialog box has a section that is specific to the multilevel terminals. To help you
to understand the result, a graphic displays it according to the selected options.
