Topic: Wire label formulas

Hello all,

I am learning how to use qelectrotech to build panel diagrams/ladder diagrams. I have been manually labeling everything which is working fine but would like to eventually learn how to set up the auto labeling for wires, terminal points, elements and so on. I believe I may be getting confused by the structured text code some users are using.

So my first question is how do you get the simple label/text formulas to work and are the formulas different for: folio, elements, cable, wire, terminal blocks.

The one that I would benefit most from would be the wire label.

These formulas are the only ones that I seem to be able to get working:

%id
%f
%_sequ1 - only works sometimes

I have tried %l for the row and %c for the column but the formula only returns itself.

My second question is where do you run the code for the structured text/python. (do you need to edit files in the qelectro program folder?)

Thank you all for your help!

Re: Wire label formulas

I also have the same issue. I want to include %l and %c, but these don't work (they just display %l or %c). Any ideas anyone?

Re: Wire label formulas

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately that doesn't answer why I can't use %l and %c in conductor auto numbering. I see these are even shown in the manual (Annex: variables related to conductor) where is states:

% {l}: Folio line number from the workspace where the conductor can be found
% {c}: Folio column number from the workspace where the conductor can be found

I have tried adding other variables (eg; %f) and that works okay. But I would like my conductors to have reference to the folio, line and column (eg; "2A11"). Can this be done?

Re: Wire label formulas

% {l}: Folio line number from the workspace where the conductor can be found
% {c}: Folio column number from the workspace where the conductor can be found

It's only for elements not conductors, %l or %c isn't logic for conductors we have multiples lines end definition same for columns for the same line conductors.
