Background

Changing the device ID of a terminal block on the Device Properties dialog may not change the device ID of all the other terminal blocks in the strip.  Or it only changes the device ID of the other terminals if they are in line vertically with the terminal being renamed.  In earlier versions of the software, changing the device ID in this many would change the terminal number to the next available number in the newly assigned strip. In Connect Refresh, the option to update all the terminals in the strip is presented when the device ID of one symbol is changed.

This article describes how to change the device ID of all the terminal blocks in a strip or all the pins in a plug.
