Device appears as grey box in Layout view?

i have a contactor coil in the schematic of which i assigned two devices:

  1. Siemens Contactor

  2. front-mounted auxiliary block

when i place the part in layout view, the contactor appears correctly, but the auxiliary block is just a grey square mounted next to the contactor (rather than on it).

note i have another contactor where the device is already a contactor+auxiliary directly from siemens that appears correctly when placed.

Siemens auxiliary contact block has the same connection point designation

as you can see from the attached all NO connection point are labeled .3/.4 so when i insert them in the schematic, eplan throws a "Duplicate Connection Point" error.

should i just rename the connection point in the [Properties] dialog?

which C-sport is this?

and is it no longer in production? most of the bianchis displayed for sale in my shitty 3rd-world country do not exist the bianchi website.

what is the simplest duplex pump alternating circuit that doesn't include latching/alternating relays or PLCs?

so basically if pump 1 ran the last cycle then pump 2 will run the next cycle

there are three states:

State 1: system is off

State 2: Pump 1 = ON

State 3: Pump 2 = ON

pumps may not run together.

state 1 always comes between states 2 and 3 (pump shuts down when top tank is full) pump starts when float switch is triggered.

what is the simplest solution that uses the minimum amount of hardware? again no PLCs or fancy shit. just good ol' ordinary relays, timers...etc

Best practices for wiring auxiliary contacts to multiple circuits?

i have a few auxiliary contacts that need to control multiple circuits, if i just connect multiple devices to the contacts using T-nodes the schematic becomes messy. but if i duplicate the contact with same DT multiple times in the schematics eplan complains of "Duplicate connection point designation".

What are the advantages/disadvantages of Sandwich, Console, and Cube/Shoebox form factors?

i have a huge full-tower case (Cooler Master Trooper) that has been going for 15 years now, and i'm getting real tired of it from having to break my back to plug a usb cable, and it cramping up my small desk.

so i have been thinking of upgrading to sff case for a while now, and initially i wanted a console style case like the Silverstone FTZ01-E or the RVZ03, but later checked the Fractal Design Era 2 and liked the way it looked, so i'm at a loss. I've never considered shoebox-style cases because i don't like the way they look, but now I'm thinking they may have advantages over the Sandwich or Console cases.

Note: I have a 180hz, 1440p monitor, and in order to make the most of it i need an RX 9070XT-level gpu which is beefy.

I also don't like the idea of consooming every 5 or so years, so the build must last for 10-15 years, which only one gpu upgrade in this span.

EDIT

considering the proposed placement of the case on top of the black desk on the right and pushed to the corner of the wall (extension cord moved under desk), the dimensions of the case should not exceed the below constraints:

Base Length: <=35cm to allow about 8cm of space from the back

Base Width: <=20cm to allow ~13cm space between the case and the wall

Height: no restriction.

case front (not side) will be facing me.

preferred airflow: inlet from the front/bottom; exhaust from the top.

EDIT2

after checking out some of the suggestions in this thread, i've narrowed down the required capacity to 18-23 Liters (nothing smaller, nothing larger)
