Add DIN Rails

A DIN Rail enables any mixture of Terminal Strips, Devices including I/O modules on a single mounting rail.

In the Equipment Layout window, a DIN Rail is automatically added whenever a new component is added to a new 'column' or an existing component is dragged to a new 'column'.

DIN Rails can also be added by clicking Add DIN Rail (or Group) on the Equipment View context-sensitive right-click menu (after right-clicking on an appropriate equipment node).

The Din Rail (Group) Information window is then displayed:

To create the new DIN rail enter a Din Rail name (a label) and a sequence number and click Save.

Electrical Wiring Manager will place the new Din Rail under the parent equipment tag in the Equipment View.

Note:
Sequence numbers define the order of multiple terminal strips/DIN Rails within the equipment. This effects the Equipment Treeview as well as equipment termination reports and equipment termination drawings created by Designer. The lowest sequenced terminal strip/DIN Rails will appear first, highest last etc. within each Equipment item.

When editing a DIN Rail, users can change the Device sequence list on the right, which shows all components currently assigned to the DIN Rail. To change the sequence of components on the rail, drag and drop the items in the Device sequence list to create the sequence required.
