For simple element exist two type of variables:

  1. General variables common for all type of elements and managed internally by QElectroTech.

  2. Specific variables from simple elements.

General variables

  • % {F}: Label from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {f}: Number from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {M}: Plant variable from the folio where the element can be found

  • % {LM}: Location variable of the folio where the element can be found

  • % {l}: Folio line number from the workspace where the element can be found

  • % {c}: Folio column number from the workspace where the element can be found

  • % {id}: Folio position in the project (Schema number)

Specific variables

  • Label formula: Definition of the formula which defines the Label value. If a auto numbering pattern is selected during terminal creation, QElectroTech defiens %autnum as default formula.

  • Label: Internal variable which is used to defines the element code.

  • Annotation: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Textual description: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Article number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Manufacturer: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Order number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Supplier: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Auxiliry block 1: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Auxiliry block 2: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Internal number: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Location: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Function: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).

  • Voltage/Protocol: Internal variable, it cannot be a formula (group of other variables).
