Diagram Connector : Diagram Connector Dialog : Connection Details

Details of the source and target connections are displayed in fields in the main part of the dialog, under the headings of Source OPC and Target OPC.

The diagram (SCDIAG), line (SCPLINE), branch (SCBRANCH) and segment (SCSEGMENT) on which the connections are located are displayed.

These elements can be made the current element, i.e. they will be selected in the Schematic Explorer, either by double-clicking on them, or right-clicking and selecting Navigate to from the menu that is then displayed.

The Type fields displays the type of each connector, i.e. SCOPCO or SCOPCI.

The Match SCDIAG fields display the names of the diagrams that each connector connects to.

The Match attribute fields display the names of the source data attribute used to match the connectors to each other.

The Attribute match value fields display the values of the source data match attributes.

The bottom three fields indicate the quality of the match between the two connectors.

The SCDIAGs matched? field:

•

If “Yes” is displayed in both fields and a green tick is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that both connectors refer to the diagram that the other is located on.

In other words, the Match SCDIAG of the source connector is the diagram that the target connector is located on and vice versa.

•

If “Yes” is displayed in one field and “No” in the other, and an orange tick is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that one of the connectors refers to the diagram that the other is located on (the connector displaying “Yes”), but the other connector does not.

In other words the Match SCDIAG of the source connector is the diagram that the target connector is located on, but the Match SCDIAG of the target connector is not the diagram that the source connector is located on, or vice versa.

•

If “No” is displayed in both fields and a red cross is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that the Match SCDIAG field of neither connector refers to the diagram that the other is located on.

The SCPLINEs matched? field:

•

If “Yes” is displayed in both fields and a green tick is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that both connectors are on the same SCPLINE.

•

If “No” is displayed in both fields and a red cross is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that the connectors are on different SCPLINEs.

The Match attributes matched? field:

•

If “Yes” is displayed in both fields and a green tick is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that both connectors have match attributes that satisfy the attribute connection criteria.

•

If “Yes” is displayed in one field and “No” in the other, and an orange tick is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that one of the connections has a match attribute that satisfies the connection criteria specified in the source data, but the other does not.

•

If “No” is displayed in both fields and a red cross is displayed in the left-hand column, this indicates that neither connector has match attributes that satisfy the attribute connection criteria.

See Automatic Matching of Off-Page Connectors for an explanation of match attributes.
