Smart Instrumentation provides the means to efficiently create a comprehensive and detailed wiring design of your plant. You can create various types of wiring items that perform specific functions in your plant. You can define and manage the following:
-
Panels belonging to several different categories, such as junction boxes, DCS and PLC panels, marshaling racks, and so forth
-
Plug-and-socket boxes that support Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus systems
-
Field devices and their cables
-
Multi-input devices with either terminal or plug-and-socket connections
-
Terminal strips and terminals
-
Wiring equipment (I/O cards, fieldbus bricks, safety barriers, hubs, relays, and so forth)
-
Cables based on shipped and user-defined configurations that include cable sets (pairs, triads, and so forth), wires, and connectors
After creating the required wiring items, you can create I/O assignments and make the required connections. This will enable you to create a point-to-point wiring diagram and generate numerous wiring reports using the Enhanced Report Utility.
