Main Graphics Area

In the center of the Terminations window, the equipment with their terminals are displayed.

• Connected wires, loops and links are indicated by lines attached to the terminal.

• Signal propagating cable cores are displayed in black.

• Signal propagating wires, loops and links are displayed in blue.

• Non-signal propagating cores, wires, loops and links are displayed in green.

• Terminal markings/numbers are normally coloured black, unless they have a signal number assigned.

• If a terminal has a signal number it will be coloured blue.

  Note:
  In Electrical Wiring Manager, all signal or wire numbers must belong to an equipment terminal. Typically all field devices will have a signal or wire number added to each terminal. In fact, signal numbers are added automatically to all field devices created with Electrical Wiring Manager Wiring Rules.

• On each wire’s outside edge the Cable Number of the core (if it is a cable core) or the wire destination (if it is a wire) is displayed.

• In the center of each wire there is more text displaying two values. The left value is the core marking (if it is a cable core) and the right value is the wire number or wire ferrule number (if ferrule numbers are set be displayed, see the Show Ferrule Numbers checkbox on the Termination Reports window).

• For wires there is a single value: the wire number.

  Note:
  Whether or not ferrule numbers are generated for newly connected screens and earth cores is controlled by the Generate Ferrule data for Cable Screens and/or the Generate Ferrule data for Cable Earth Cores checkboxes on the General Tab of the Options window.
