Circuit diagrams should mainly be based on macros. Set up macros
whenever you can and create them that way that you can easily
delete unwanted components from the macros.
Contactor Manager
General
The Contactor Manager coordinates the relationship between coils and contacts. The
difference between the semi-automatic and fully automatic processes is as follows:
• The Semi-automatic Contactor Manager allows you to assign contacts to coils
(or vice versa) immediately, without any database reference (part number). The
part number will be allocated later via the Contactor Browser.
• The Fully-automatic Contactor Manager takes you back to the database
selection as soon as the component has been placed, and a part number has to be
assigned. The cross-reference to the contact is generated online and the
connection names are added automatically.
Semi-automatic Contactor Manager
The following coils are managed with the Contactor Manager in semi-automatic
mode. Please check whether the semi-automatic Contactor Manager is active or
not. Select the menu command 'Settings – Common Settings', (tab) 'Contactors and
PLCmodules' and activate the Options 'Activate contactor manager' and 'Semiautomatic'.
Exit with 'OK'.
