Smart Instrumentation creates and keeps track of wiring routing and connections by identifying the wires and their connection points.
The wires and the items to which they are connected are arranged hierarchically as they appear in the Domain Explorer. These terms are described in detail in the relevant help topics.
You can make connections between or within any of the <unit> in a <plant>. Reference cables and panels are, however, available for all the <plants> in the domain.
The following sequence of operations is necessary for the creation of a wiring scheme:
-
Creation of panels, plug-and- socket boxes, terminal strips, wiring equipment, terminals, and so on
-
Creation of cables, cable sets, and wires
-
Connecting wires to terminals
In addition, tagged instruments may be wired so that their wiring routing is automatically tracked and wire names are automatically propagated. For details, see:
