a single pin list to multiple symbols. The basic workflow for pin numbers
being assigned to a symbol is as follows:
■
Insert a component.
■
On the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, assign a catalog number.
■
Pin List database is queried.
■
Coil pins are applied to the parent symbol's terminal attributes.
■
The Pin List is applied to the parent symbol as xdata or attributes.
If the pin numbers are assigned as xdata, there isn't a PINLIST attribute
since the pin assignment comes from the pin list table.
Setting up COILPINS
The COILPINS column in the Pin List database specifies the terminal pin
numbers for a coil or parent symbol of a component. This is generally two
pin numbers separated by a comma (such as K1,K2). When a component calls
for additional pin assignments on the parent, you can continue the list with
each value separated by commas. These values are applied to the TERM01 and
TERM02 attributes respectively on the parent symbol.
If you set COILPINS = "K1,K2;" then pins K1/K2 are assigned to the parent
symbol of a component.
In the example below, TERM01 = K1 and TERM02 = K2.
Setting up COILPINS for two wired devices
The automatic pin list look-up and assignment at component insertion time
is not limited to relay devices as shown in the example above. You can encode
two wire devices like pilot lights or proximity switches into the database file.
Insert the Manufacturer and Catalog numbers and fill in the COILPINS filed
with the terminal pin numbers. Leave the PINLIST field blank. Now, when
you insert one of these devices and do a catalog lookup and part number
selection, AutoCAD Electrical quickly looks for a MFG/CAT match in the pin
list database. On a match, AutoCAD Electrical pulls out the device's coil pin
numbers and inserts them in the newly inserted device.
