them, draws a rectangular box around the entire assembly, creates a single
block out of the collection, and annotates the new module's attributes.
Some PLC units may not lend themselves very well to parametric generation.
If a PLC module symbol is built with the appropriate attributes in place and
the symbol name follows AutoCAD Electrical's naming convention (the block
name begins with "PLCIO"), it can be inserted as a single unit using the

The selected unit inserts into the ladder, breaks the wires, and then reconnects.
PLC parametric selection
AutoCAD Electrical can generate PLC I/O modules on demand, in a variety
of different graphical styles via a parametric generation technique. It is driven
by a database file and a handful of library symbol blocks.
Access:
Click the Insert PLC (Parametric) tool.
From the Components menu, select Insert PLC Modules
➤
Insert PLC (Para-
metric).
Manufacturer Catalog tree
Provides a complete list of the PLC modules available to AutoCAD Electrical.
The Manufacturer Catalog tree is compiled from the database file,
"ace_plc.mdb."
Module List
Displays the defined modules. Once you select a module type or a specific
module from the Manufacturer Catalog tree, AutoCAD Electrical reads through
the information contained in the database. Select from this list to begin the
PLC module insertion process.
Graphics Style
Specifies the graphical appearance of the PLC module. Styles 1-5 are provided
with AutoCAD Electrical. Styles 6-9 may be user-defined. Select a style number
and a sample portion of a PLC module displays.
To create a user-defined style: There are about two dozen symbols associated
with each style. They are located in the \Program Files
[(x86)] \Autodesk\Acade
{version}\Libs subdirectory and carry the file name "HP?*.dwg" or "VP?*.dwg"
