Assign Connector Pins to Cable Wires - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

This procedure shows how to assign connector pins to cable wires.

1. In the Domain Explorer or Reference Explorer, do one of the following:

   • To create a new cable, right-click the Cables folder and select New > Cable.

   • Right-click an existing cable, and select Properties.

2. Modify cable properties as needed. For details, see Create a Cable.

3. Select Connectors.

4. In the Connector Assignments dialog, select the cable end tab, End 1 or End 2, to manage connector-wire associations.

5. Do one of the following:

   • To validate that pin polarities that you set for this cable end are consistent with wire polarities, select the Polarity validation check box.

   • To skip polarity validation, clear the Polarity validation check box.

6. For each connector pin, under Wires per Pin, select the number of wires that you want to assign to the pin.

7. Under Cable Set, select the Cable Set from which you are assigning a wire to the current pin. (Repeat this for each connector pin.)

8. Under Wire, select the wire that you assign to the pin. (Repeat this for each connector pin.)

• The value that you enter under Wires per Pin determines the number of rows displayed for a given pin.

• The software does not allow you to edit pin-wire assignment properties of a connector that is connected (in the Connection window).
