Smart Instrumentation enables you to associate terminals and pins with wiring equipment channels. Note that these terminals and the terminal strip must belong to the same parent wiring equipment. Also, if you want to associate pins, the pins must belong to a connector which is a child item of the parent wiring equipment.
After you drag a terminal or a pin to a wiring equipment channel, the software retains it in its original place from which you dragged it. However, after expanding the destination hierarchy, the software also shows the terminal or pin that you dragged. This means that the terminal or pin is physically located in its original place but it is associated with the item to which it was dragged.
