Auto-Wire Two Panels - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

This procedure explains how to define and execute an auto- wiring task for two panels (regardless of their signals). Note that you must make all the required preparations prior to defining and executing a task.

Make sure that you have made all the required preparations that are specified in Auto-Wiring.

1. Start the Wiring module.

2. On the menu bar, select Actions > Auto-Wiring.

3. In the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window, select the new task and, then select Actions > New .

4. On the Auto-Wiring Routing Task dialog, define the End 1 connection as follows:

   1. Select next to the Panel field to select the required panel.

   2. In the Wiring Explorer, select a panel that contains at least one terminal strip with unconnected terminals and then select OK.

   3. Select a terminal strip from the Strip list.

   4. Select a terminal that will serve as the first terminal.

   5. Select a terminal side.

   6. Select a connection type.

   7. If required, select an appropriate overall shield terminal connection.

5. In the End 2 connection group box, do the following:

   1. Select next to the Panel field to select the required panel.

   2. In the Wiring Explorer, select a panel that contains at least one terminal strip with unconnected terminals and then select OK.

   3. Select a terminal strip from the Strip list.

   4. Select a terminal that will serve as the first terminal.

   5. Select a terminal side.

   6. Select a connection type.

   7. If required, select an appropriate overall shield terminal connection.

   8. Use the options in the Cable group box to define the cable that Smart Instrumentation will use to connect the two panels:

   9. From the Reference cable list, select the appropriate reference cable that Smart Instrumentation will use as the source for the creation of a cable that will connect the two panels. The software duplicates the new cable in the Domain Explorer.

   10. In the Cable name data field, accept or type the name of the cable that Smart Instrumentation will create to connect the two panels. The cable names suggested by the software are composed of the End 1 and End 2 panel names. Additional cables have their names incremented by one, for example XYZ.1, XYZ.2, and so forth.

   11. Select OK to complete the task definition and return to the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window.

6. In the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window, select .

• After notifying you that the task has been executed successfully, the task status changes to Done. For details, see Auto-Wiring Task Statuses.

• You can open the Connection window for the selected junction box to display the adjacent connection to make sure that the auto-wiring task has been executed correctly.
