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'.

To manually add a DIN Rail

1. In the Equipment View, right-click on the appropriate equipment node, and then select Add DINDIN Rails.

   The Din Rail (Group) Information window opens.

   

2. Enter a Din Rail (or Group) Name (a label).

3. Add a Sequence number.

4. Click Save.

   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 affects the Equipment Tree view, as well as equipment termination reports and equipment termination drawings created by Designer. The lowest sequenced terminal strip/DIN Rails will appear first, and the highest last within each Equipment item.

   When editing a DIN Rail, you can change the Device sequence list on the right, which shows all components currently assigned to the DIN Rail.

5. To change the sequence of components on the rail, drag and drop the items in the Device sequence list to create the sequence required.
