Automatically generate I/O schematic drawings
A project's PLC I/O requirements, in spreadsheet or database format, can drive
automatic generation of the I/O schematic drawings.
1 Click the arrow on the Insert PLC (Parametric) tool to access
the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility tool.
2 Click the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility tool.
3 Select the spreadsheet and click Open.
4 In the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility dialog box, enter a value
for the beginning line reference number for the first ladder of
the drawing. Specify any other options to use for the ladder
reference numbers.
5 Specify how you want the module to be placed in the drawing.
6 Click Start.
AutoCAD Electrical constructs a set of PLC I/O drawings based
on the information carried in the PLC spreadsheet. Ladders
and modules insert automatically, breaking at the bottom of
one ladder and continuing on the next.
Change and use PLC I/O settings
You have control over many aspects of how these drawings auto-generate.
You also can adapt this tool to an existing spreadsheet or database format that
is different from the example demoplc.xls file format. You can change these
settings each time you run the program or change them once and save your
settings for future use.
