Cable Connectivity
Function Introduced:
The function
ProCableLogicalEndsGet() identifies the entry ports and their owning connectors to which the specified cable should be connected. This function depends on the connector parameters SIGNAL and PIN_ASSIGN. A cable connects logically to an entry port if the connector has a PIN_ASSIGN parameter that relates a PIN_ID value to that CABLE_NAME, and a SIGNAL parameter that relates the same PIN_ID value to that ENTRY_PORT name.
In the sample connector parameters file, the cable WIRE_2 connects to connector MOTOR, entry port ENTRY1.
A cable can have logical ends, even if it has not yet been routed.
The output of the function
ProCableLogicalEndsGet() is in the form of two
Pro/Selection structures for the coordinate system datums that represent the entry ports.
