5.12.11.29.5. Class "Electrical Connection" (CNS_CP|4|3) -> Attribute "Connection EclassSymbolMap"

The correct symbol is assigned to the component using the EclassSymbolMap connection feature.

A list of the CAx_function symbols used in eClass can be found on the website http://wiki.eclass.eu/wiki/CAx_Funktionssymbole. Take the symbol designation from this list.

Following example uses the symbol S00017.

The value of Connection EclassSymbolMap looks like this: S00017||1||1

                             Symbolbezeichnung    ||  Ordnungszahl    ||   Pin-Nummer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connection EclassSymbolMap         S00017         ||       1          ||        1

A double pipe symbol is used as separator.

If a symbol occurs only ONCE in a component, the ordinal number is 1 . If the same symbol occurs several times, the ordinal number is incremented.

Example:

Terminal with 6 contacts (=6 connection points) of the same type.

The symbol is six times S00017. Each of these contains only one pin. The Connection EclassSymbolMap feature should therefore look like this:

Attachment point name EclassSymbolMap
+ S00017||1||1
- S00017||2||1
S1 S00017||3||1
S2 S00017||4||1
+a S00017||5||1
-a S00017||6||1

Another example:

Following figure shows a device that contains several different symbols.

The symbols to be used are:

1x Coil S00305

3x Contactors S00284

1x NO contact S00227

1x NC Contact S00229

Create EclassSymbolMap:

  • Explanation on coil S00305:

    Connection point name Connection EclassSymbolMap

    A1 S00305||1||1
    A2 S00305||1||2

    The symbol for the coil is ONE time S00305. This means that the ordinal number remains 1 in all cases

    As the coil has 2 pins, these are incremented.

  • Explanation on main contact S00284

    The main contact occurs 3 times. So the ordinal number is incremented from 1 to 3. Each main contact has 2 pins. They are incremented at each main contact (=symbol).

  • Explanation on "make contact" S00227

    The "make contact" only occurs one time and has two pins. That means the ordinal number is always 1, the pins are incremented.

  • Explanation on "break contact" S00229

    The "break contact" only occurs one time and has two pins. That means the ordinal number is always 1, the pins are incremented.

Connection EclassSymbolMap should therefore look like this:

Connection point name Connection EclassSymbolMap  
A1S00305||1||1Coil
A2S00305||1||2
L1S00284||1||1Main contact 1
T1S00284||1||2
L2S00284||2||1Main contact 2
T2S00284||2||2
L3S00284||3||1Main contact 3
T3S00284||3||2
13S00227||1||1Make contact
14S00227||1||2
