You will now learn how to create a barrier and include it in your wiring design. You will do so by adding a barrier terminal strip in marshaling rack 101-MR-DCS-001. To create a barrier you will use the Apparatus feature in the Wiring module. Apparatus pertains to I/O devices of different kinds. These devices can be used for various purposes, for example, devices that accept wires and signals, barriers, opto-couplers, relays, repeaters, and isolators.

Adding a new apparatus to your wiring starts with the configuration of a new apparatus group:

  • Setting the number of apparatuses required.

  • Defining the apparatus terminal numbering, pattern, signal propagation, and color of the terminals.

You create a new apparatus (in the exact way you create a terminal strip) after completing the new apparatus group configuration. You can also create a new apparatus based on any existing configuration. You can modify or delete an apparatus configuration. Once a new apparatus has been added, it is displayed in the Domain Explorer showing the terminals belonging to the apparatus.

You can have regular terminals and apparatus terminals on the same strip.
