Add a Catalog Field Device

To add a Field Device to the project Field Device Catalog, open the Field Device Catalog and click New in the Records section of the Home tab.

The Field Device Definition window is displayed:

Check the Allow Use checkbox as appropriate.

Only those devices with their Allow Use checkbox checked will be available for use when creating Field Devices.

Enter a Catalog name and Description.

To define the Device Terminals, enter the number of left terminals in Left, enter number of right terminals in Right.

Note: Wiring Manager works best with field device terminals set as right-sided.

If a terminal label is required, check either the Left or Right Terminal Label checkbox.

Only one of these checkboxes can be checked at a time. A checkbox cannot be checked if there are no terminals on that side, that means, the Left label checkbox cannot be checked if there are no left-hand terminals.

When the terminal quantities or terminal label settings are entered or changed, Wiring Manager refreshes the graphical representation of the device as shown in the example below:
