Simple element

The simple element is used to represent devices such actuators (electric motors, cylinders, pneumatic or hydraulic valves, etc.), control devices (PLC, microcontrollers, etc.), circuit breakers, etc.

For simple element exist two type of variables:

  1. General variables common for all type of elements and managed internally by QElectroTech.

  2. Specific variables from simple elements.

General variables

  • % {F}: Label from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {f}: Number from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {M}: Plant variable from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {LM}: Location variable of the folio where the element can be found

  • % {l}: Folio line number from the workspace where the element can be found

  • % {c}: Folio column number from the workspace where the element can be found

  • % {id}: Folio position in the project (Schema number)

Specific variables

  • Label formula: Definition of the formula which defines the Label value. If a auto numbering pattern is selected during terminal creation, QElectroTech defiens %autnum as default formula.

  • Label: Internal variable which is used to defines the element code.

  • Annotation: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Textual description: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Article number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Manufacturer: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Order number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Supplier: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Auxiliry block 1: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Auxiliry block 2: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Internal number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Location: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Function: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Voltage/Protocol: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).
