Current Path Numbering and Switching Elements Table

The automatic generation of current paths simplifies the identification of switches and relays when constructing electrical circuits. Along with the generated switching element tables FluidSIM makes it easy to understand which switches are controlled by which relays. To make the automatic labeling feature a satisfactorily working concept, the following points should be obeyed.

  • The +24V current path should form the top horizontal line.
  • The 0V current path should form the bottom horizontal line.
  • The electric make/break/changeover switches should be placed above the relays.
  • The relays should be placed closed to the bottom 0V current path.
  • All connections of a vertical current path should align.
  • The horizontal distances between the paths should be equal and of reasonable distance.
If the automatic numbering or the label positions are not entirely satisfying, a manual adjustment of a few lines or components will yield the desired layout quality in most cases. If two separated electrical circuits cause an unfavorable numbering, try to increase the distance between these circuits.

The automatic current path numbering can enabled or disabled via View / Display current path numbering and switching elements table.
