Multiplex Tag Signals - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

Smart Instrumentation enables you to multiplex tag signals. That is, you can combine tag signals into a general signal that you propagate. Also, you can combine signals from incoming general signals with independent tag signals into a new general signal that you propagate.

• Before you manage the signals within a given terminal strip, create and connect the cables that serve the terminal strip.

• You can only multiplex tag signals that are wired into the terminal strip.

1. In the Domain Explorer, right-click a panel or a terminal strip.

2. On the shortcut menu, select Actions > Connection.

3. In the Connection window, select next to a terminal in the wire group into which you want to multiplex a signal.

4. On the Terminal Connection dialog, select Signal to open the Local Signals dialog.

5. Create a unique general signal. For details, see Create a General Signal.

6. Link the general signal to the signals that you want to multiplex. For details, see Link Tag Signals to a General Signal.

7. Do the following for each terminal in the wire group that you are associating with the general signal:

   1. Under Signal, select the general signal that you want to propagate.

   2. Select a sequence and a signal level.

8. To navigate to other terminals for which you need to change propagation settings, do one of the following:

   1. Select Next or Previous.

   2. Under Terminal number, select the terminal that you want to edit.

9. Select Save.
