Wire Links ID

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, probably.

Trying to add wire links. Add the pair of wire links, with ID L900 and link index of 1.

Nothing appears in the wire line usage chart, if I press search and link it says there is nothing available.

How do I link them and get the wire link reference information to appear.

 

  • First make sure that you have the same complete Device ID, including the Installation, Location and Device Tag on both wire links.  Then check that the page(s) that both wire links are on are in the "Online" status, which you can check in the Project Manager by right clicking on the given page name and selecting "Modify".  The online status is a check box in the left corner of that dialog.  In order for cross referencing to work the pages must be online.  Those should be the main requirements for making it work.

    Aside from that, you can maybe check to see that your cross reference format is something that would be visible in your case....normally the default is to show page number and line number, but yours could be set to something different, or nothing at all, in which case nothing would be displayed.  You might also check the Wire Link Usage chart by right clicking on the wire link to verify that it does show up as linked and not with one of the little "broken link" symbols next to it.  You can drag and drop it back to a linked pair if it does show that way for some reason.  

    If that doesn't do it or you still can't figure it out, please create a service ticket and include a backup of the project so we can test it.
