Plate definitions

In plate definition management, you can define plate definitions that can be assigned for devices, locations, cables, etc. You can then generate a plate report that can be used to print the plates.

Let's create a new plate definition to the shared database.

Do the following:

1. Select Management tab > Plate definitions.

2. Select the Shared databases tab.

3. Right-click on the grid, and select New.

4. Fill in the following information:

   • Parent type – Device

   • Plate type – Device plate (switch)

   • X-size (as mm) – 64

   • Y-size (as mm) – 20

   • Fixing method – Sticker

   • Text size – 3.5

5. From the Table drop-down menu, select Devices.

6. From the Fieldsection, drag and drop ID to the first row in the Plate texts section.

7. From the Table drop-down menu, select Additional information.

8. From the Field section, drag and drop Position text 1, Position text 2 and Position text 3 to the second row.

9. Add hyphens (-) between the position texts, as shown in the image:

   

10. Click OK.

11. Add plate definition to the device:

    1. Select location =123+MCC1.

    2. Select the S01 device, right-click it and select Plates.

       

    3. In Shared databases, add the plate definition by double-clicking.

    4. Click OK.

12. View plate information by editing the device and selecting the Plates tab. The device's position text 1 is OPEN, position text 2 is 0 and position text 3 is CLOSE so the result is OPEN-0-CLOSE.
