Using Connection Type Attributes (PE)

In part records, the attributes

• Anschlussart (connection type),
• Anschlussart2 and
• Anschlussart3

enable the type of connection to be determined as well as any required accessories. If a component to which specific ancillary parts have been assigned by connection attributes is set on a guideline, the accessories are automatically fitted to connections 1 and 2 of the part.

If a attribute entry has not been made for an Anschluss (connection), the entry with the next lowest connection number applies.

Example:

If we assume that entries only exist for Anschlussart (connection type) and Anschlussart3 (connection type 3) respectively, then the attribute for Anschluss (connection) also applies to connection 2.

The attribute entry is comprised of an ID number and a supplement.

The last digit (x) of the identification number provides additional information on the supplement:

0 =no suppplement

2 = The supplement is comprised of the connection number, part type ID and part standard of the part to be attached.

The connection number indicates the connection with which the auxiliary part should be attached to the current connection.

Example:

20002 1 5100010 DIN 2633 

means: Fit flange according to DIN 2633 with Connection 1

Wildcard character ('?‘) is invalid for part type IDs (in this case 5100010).

The significance of the 3rd and 4th digits have yet to be determined.

If an entry for the Anschlussart (Connection type) does not exists for a part, the default value 10000 (welded) is respected.
