Signal Fails to Propagate on Wiring System
Some users might encounter the problem that a signal of one tag number does not propagate during making a wiring connection from one panel/device to another panel. Instead of showing the tag number itself, the wiring is indicating “SPARE” (or default cable name), see below picture. This condition mostly occurs because the wiring connection is not made sequentially form the left to right or vice versa.
The following is steps how to rectify this problem:
1. Klik on the screw on the terminal strip. The dialog box will open, then select the signal that we want to assign.
2. Now the signal name appears on the wiring connection.
