The options on this tab enable you to define if and how the software will display control stations, space heaters, meters, and relaying equipment in generated single line diagrams. Also, you can set the horizontal and vertical distance between equipment items that are connected in parallel.

Control station options

Show control stations associated with equipment

When selected, displays control stations that are associated with electrical equipment items. Note that if an item is associated with more than one control station, the software displays only the first control station in the SLD.

Note that this option is not available if you have selected the Do not show downstream items setting from the Feeder display options list on the General tab.

Control station symbol displacement

Allows you to enter the X and Y coordinates and their unit of measure to define the displacement of the control station from the symbol that represents the equipment with which the control station is associated.

Space heater options

These options allow you to define display options for space heaters and place them next to their associated plant items or separately, below their power supply equipment.

These options apply only if you use space heater symbols that are not part of a nested symbol.

Show space heaters next to associated plant items

When selected, displays all the connected space heaters next to their associated plant items. The spaces heaters will be placed on the drawing based on the defined displacement values. Clearing this check box does the following:

Displays the connected space heaters under their feeding equipment if this feeding equipment is included in the current SLD.

Does not display the space heaters if their feeding equipment is not displayed in the current SLD.

When displaying power cables that connect feeders and auxiliary contacts, if the space heater is not fed from the same bus as its associated plant item, the software displays the connecting power cable only if the feeding bus is included in the current SLD. If the bus feeding the space heater is not on the current drawing, the software displays a reference to the feeding bus.

Space heater symbol displacement

Allows you to enter the X and Y coordinates and their unit of measure to define the displacement of the space heater from the symbol that represents the equipment with which the space heater is associated. In case of multiple space heaters connected to the same equipment, the displacement value refers to the distance to the adjacent space heater. See Show Space Heaters Next to the Associated Plant Items in SLDs

Auxiliary contact options

These options allow you to define display options for auxiliary contacts in generated single line diagrams.

These options apply only if you use auxiliary contact symbols that are not part of a compound symbol.

Show auxiliary contacts next to disconnect equipment

When selected, displays the auxiliary contacts next to their associated disconnect equipment. Clearing this check box does one of the following:

Displays the auxiliary contacts under their feeding equipment if this feeding equipment is displayed in the current SLD.

Does not display the auxiliary contacts if their feeding equipment is not displayed in the current SLD.

Auxiliary contact symbol displacement

Allows you to enter the X and Y coordinates and their unit of measure to define the displacement of the auxiliary contact from the symbol that represents the equipment with which the auxiliary contact is associated.

Metering and relaying equipment options

Show metering and relaying equipment

When selected, displays metering and relaying equipment in single line diagrams.

Metering equipment first symbol displacement

Allows you to enter the X and Y coordinates and their unit of measure to define the displacement of the metering equipment from the symbol that represents the equipment with which the metering equipment is associated.

Vertical displacement

Allows you to enter the value for the vertical displacement of subsequent metering equipment and their symbols, below the first metering equipment item.

  • The software does not display control station properties in the Properties window when you select a control station in an SLD.

  • The software does not allow you to compare control station changes with an archived SLD.

Parallel equipment settings

These options allow you to define how the software will present electrical equipment items that are connected in parallel.

Horizontal distance

Allows you to enter a value that determines the horizontal distance between adjacent electrical equipment items that are connected in parallel. Also, sets the horizontal distance between parallel feeder branches of a circuit.

You can enter a negative value to display the parallel equipment to the left or to the right of the main axis.

Vertical distance

Allows you to enter a value that determines the vertical distance between the horizontal axis of the equipment connected between the parallel pair and the parallel branch.

Units

Allows you to select an appropriate unit of measure for the distance between the items in the parallel branch.
