The following tasks are used frequently when you manage terminators for your Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus systems.
Create an External Terminator in a Plug-and-Socket Box
This feature enables you to create an external terminator in an existing plug-and-socket box.
Create an External Terminator on a Terminal Strip
You can place an external terminator on a terminal in an apparatus or a conventional terminal strip, i.e., a junction box, marshaling rack, and so forth.
Move an External Terminator to Another Port in a Plug-and-Socket Box
Usually, an external terminator is added when you create a plug-and-socket box. You can disconnect a terminator or move it to another port in a plug-and-socket box if required.
Internal terminators are usually added when creating plug- and-socket boxes and termination blocks. You can also add an internal terminator to an existing plug-and-socket box or termination block if it has not been done during the creation process. If a plug-and-socket box does not contain an internal terminator, edit the properties of the required box in the Plug-and-Socket Box wizard.
Terminator (Plug-and-Socket Box) - Segment Association
After creating an external terminator, you need to associate it with an existing segment. This option enables you to associate an external terminator with an existing segment where the terminator is located in a plug-and-socket box.
Terminator (Terminal Strip) - Segment Association
After creating an external terminator, you need to associate it with an existing segment. This option enables you to associate an external terminator with an existing segment where the terminator is located on a terminal strip.
