4. Create the cables needed to make the connections.

5. Add terminal strips to the cabinets that Smart Instrumentation created automatically from circuit signals that you downloaded from Smart Electrical.

6. Create device panels for tags that do not come from pre-assigned signals. Such tags usually originate from Smart Electrical control stations or from one of the types of electrical equipment (motors, heaters, transformers, generators, and so forth).

7. Create tag signals. For details, see Create a Local Signal for Electrical Tags.

8. Connect the PLC to the cabinet using the cable you created.

9. Re-propagate the tag signal to the PLC. For details, see Re-Propagate a Tag Signal.

You can use macros related to Smart Electrical signal data to generate Enhanced Report Utility reports or CAD application-based drawings. For details, see Smart Instrumentation Macro Structure.
