    This document discusses how to define and highlight potentials and signals in EPLAN. It describes how to place potential definition points and connection points to define potentials, and how to set the potential properties. It also explains how to temporarily highlight potentials and signals in color to provide an overview of their extent, by using the menu items View > Potential tracking and View > Signal tracking. Highlighting colors can be configured in the user settings.

    1 Drawing the Potential Definition Points or
    Connection Points
    Potentials are defined by potential definition points or potential connection points.
    Precondition:
    You have opened a project and are in a schematic page.
    1. Select the menu items Insert > Potential definition point or Insert >
    Potential connection point.

    The symbol for the potential definition or point hangs on the cursor.

    2. Click in the schematic to place the potential definition or connection point.

    3. In the properties dialog, in the Potential definition tab, enter the potential
    properties (and other properties in the other tabs if required).

    4. Click [OK].

    The properties are assigned to the connections running through the
    potential definition point or the connection joined to the potential connection
    point.

    2 Highlighting the Potentials or Signals
    Potentials or signals can be temporarily highlighted in color to allow a quick overview
    of their extent. The currently selected potential or signal is then colored according to
    the colors you have define in the user settings.
    The highlighting of signals is described below; potentials can be highlighted in the
    same manner using the menu item View > Potential tracking. (In this case the
    coloring is extended beyond the signal to include the entire potential).
    Precondition:
    In the user settings, you have defined the color to be used for highlighting the signal
    or potential (Options > Settings > User > Graphical editing > General, in the
    Track potential drop-down list).

    1. Click a connection symbol or a connection line.

    EPLAN searches for the associated signal and colors this completely (i.e.,
    also over page boundaries).

    2. Click another connection.

    The highlighting of the first signal is removed and the signal associated with
    this connection is colored.

    3. Select the menu item View > Signal tracking a second time.

    The signal highlighting is removed.
