@ashevchuk ashevchuk released this 31 Oct 21:00

Terminal labels can be read back from a CSV, the distance lines can be switched off, and the README has new screenshots.

Use it

New since 0.6.3

  • File > Import terminal labels (CSV)… reads a table of Device, Terminal and Label and sets the label of that terminal on every module that has that label or name. The columns are found by name in any order and the others are ignored; a blank label takes the label away; a row that does not fit is skipped with the reason and the rest are applied. It is one step of Undo.
  • Export > Inputs and outputs (CSV), the table and the print sheet now have a Terminal column (the name, or the id such as top:DI1 when a module has the same name on both sides) and a Label column, in place of the single Channel column. Fill in the Label column and read the file back.
  • View > Distances to the neighbours switches off the lines that show the distance from the selected thing to its neighbours; the choice is kept in the browser and in the backup.

Changes

  • The format of the inputs and outputs list changed as described above; there is no migration of files written by 0.5.0 and 0.6.x.
  • A browser test now covers aligning, the grid, the distance lines, wire numbers, the lists, the label import and the duct fill.
  • New screenshots in the README, including the plate alignment and the context menu.

Limits

  • A long press on a touch screen should open the context menu, as the browser sends the same event; it has not been tried on a device.
  • Wire lengths are estimates from where terminals stand on the panel; the conductor diameters for the duct fill and its 50 % limit are typical values and are not verified.
  • The cable ampacity table was compared with IEC 60364-5-52:2009 (copper, PVC, methods B1, B2, C and E, 1.5 to 35 mm2). Resistivity, reactance, voltage drop limits and trip multiples are not verified; the checks are advice, not a design verification.
  • This is a planning layout, not a manufacturing drawing.
  • File and library formats may still change without migration.
