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

Using attribute Connection EclassSymbolMap the correct symbol is assigned to the device.

A list of CAx Function Symbols used in eClass can be found on the website http://wiki.eclass.eu/wiki/CAx_Funktionssymbole . The symbol names please take 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 only occurs one time in a device, 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 kind.

The symbol designation is six times S00017. Each of them only contains one pin. So the attribute Connection EclassSymbolMap should look like this:

Connection 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
