Topic: Manage terminals

Hello,

i using QE since a few weeks. It is very usefull for me to draw circuit diagramms from my house-automation and some drawings of the plant and machines from my best friend who have a small metallworking company.

first question: is there an option to manage the terminals more comfortable? It is in my opinion very cumbersome to label and arrange terminals. My idea goes to an export/import option or to a direct editing method via popup-window.

second question: is there an option for direct labeling the connection from contacts (13-14, 23-24 for N.O, 11-12 for N.C) ? How can i transfer the labels of the contacts to the contact-table which is near the coil placed?

Many thanks for great work

Best regardings from Bavaria/Germany

Re: Manage terminals

hello Erga,

at the moment there is no convenient way to easier manage terminals. This will be surely made in a further version of QET (0.6 or 0.7...).

To your second question:
I have created some NO and NC contacts where the user can directly edit the terminal descriptions (13:14, 11:12...).
Look at the attached files.
You can not "transfer" the descriptions (13:14...) in the contact mirror (Kontaktspiegel) near the coil. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment.

Hello piceaabis
The terminal numbers of symbols can only be entered or changed in the drawing.
I believe a direct transfer of the terminal numbers of contacts into the contact table is not possible. You can create your own icons for a contact mirror with reference.

Re: Manage terminals

Hello
First you create an element for the contact mirror (contact NO), insert a label and as a component property incoming filing reference.
For the contact in the plan you create an element add a label and as a component property outgoing foil reference. In the plan, you can use them as references from conductors.
I'm trying to make a screen photo. The video is too big


Best regards

Edit: The relay coil has no relationship with the contacts. Only the references are connected to the elements

I can't create a component as incoming/outgoing foil reference without having a connection in the component. See attached screenshot. Is this right?

Re: Manage terminals

Hello
The element needs a terminal that is the red bars. The terminal is only an insertion point for this element to store it

Re: Manage terminals

@Calypso : if you create a video for helping Piceaabies, you could send me this by email, I could put this on download area and add a link for viewing it on the forum.

I limit your upload size because my quota on this web server is very limited, I have more space on download server.
