You can follow a signal along a sequence of wires. Smart Instrumentation uses wire groups, group level and group sequence data to follow a signal along a series of wires and check for any discontinuity. The wire group is the signal name representing the tag number from which the signal originates. The result is displayed in a point-to-point wiring diagram that you can print.

  1. Do one of the following to open the Point-to-Point Wiring Diagram:

    • In the Domain Explorer, right-click a cable, cable set, panel, or a terminal strip and then on the shortcut menu, select Actions > Connection. For best results, make sure that the connection information is complete for the items that you selected.

    • In the Domain Explorer, right-click a cable, cable set, panel, or a terminal strip and then select Actions > I/O Assignment. For best results, make sure that the I/O assignment information is complete for the items that you selected.
