This procedure explains how to add a new group of terminals to an existing terminal strip.
-
In the Domain Explorer select a terminal strip to which you want to add a group of terminals.
-
Right-click the selected terminal strip and then on the shortcut menu, select Actions > Add Terminal Group.
-
On the Add Terminals dialog, select an appropriate terminal configuration from the Configuration name list. The configuration you choose determines the labeling of the terminals you are about to create.
If the required configuration is not available, close this dialog and create a new
terminal configuration.
-
Do one of the following:
-
If the selected configuration is suitable, select OK to add the terminals.
-
Change the configuration according to your requirements as specified in the steps below.
-
-
In the Total number of terminals spin box, enter the total number of new terminals required.
-
In the First terminal of added group spin box, enter the number of the next incremented terminal.
To continue the numbered sequence of the existing terminals, you should enter the
next numerical value of the terminal, and not the ordinal sequence. For example, if
you already have 48 terminals arranged in groups of three, where the last 3 terminal
labels are +16, -16, and SH, the value in the First terminal of added group spin box must be 17 and not 49.
-
In the Terminal Numbering Pattern group box, do the following:
-
Type a prefix in the Prefix field if required.
-
Select the Incremented check box if you want the terminal number to be incremented within the pattern.
-
Select the Numbered check box if you want the number of the terminal to appear between the prefix and the suffix.
-
Type a suffix if required.
-
-
Select OK to create the new group of terminals on the terminal strip.
This dialog does not allow you to save the changes you make to an existing terminal strip configuration. The software applies the changes only to the group of terminals you are currently adding.
