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?

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".

How do you group components into sub-assemblies for BOM generation without changing installation location?

Hello,

I have a question regarding component grouping in EPLAN.

In a machine project, some components belong to a specific sub-assembly, but they all share the same installation location.

For example, a cable harness may consist of:

  • Connectors
  • Cables
  • Protective conduits
  • Labels/markers
  • Other accessories

All of these components belong to the same machine location, but I would like to group them into a logical sub-assembly so that I can generate a dedicated BOM for that harness.

Is there a standard EPLAN method to achieve this (Assembly, Mounting Group, User-defined Structure, etc.) without changing the installation location of the components?

My goal is to generate:

  • A global project BOM
  • A BOM for each sub-assembly (harnesses, tooling, kits, etc.)

How do you typically handle this requirement in your projects?

Thank you for your feedback.
