Select or Change the Source Off-page Connector

If the Source OPC field is blank, proceed as follows to select a source off-page connector.

If the Source OPC field is populated, use this procedure to select a different source off-page connector.

An off-page source connector can be selected either by setting the current element as the off-page source connector, or by selecting a connector from a list.

To set the current element as the source:

• Select the required off-page connector (SCOPCO or SCOPCI) in the Schematic Explorer and the click CE next to the Source OPC field.

• Use Saved Searches (see Search in Schematic Model Manager) to locate the required off-page connector, right click on the search result and select the Navigate To option from the menu that is then displayed.

  Note:
  There are Schematic Model Manager saved searches that can be used for finding connected, unconnected and manually connected OPCs.

• Select the OPC on a diagram in the Diagram Viewer (see Diagram Connectors).

To select the required off-page connector from a list, select the ... option next to the Source OPC field. The OPC Browser dialog is then displayed.

The browser displays a list of all off-page connectors in the database.

The first column displays an indication of the quality of the match of the current connection (if any) of each of the listed off-page connectors.

A green tick indicates the connection was made automatically on import, an orange tick indicates that the connection was made manually using the Diagram Connector, while a red cross indicates that the connector has no connection.

The names of each connector and the diagrams and lines on which they are located is displayed. Connectors can be sorted by clicking on the column headings.

To select a connector, either double-click on it, or click on it once and then click OK.

Once a connector is selected, the Source OPC field is populated with the name of the selected connector. If there is an existing connection set up for this connector, the name of the connected off-page connector is displayed in the Target OPC field.
