The following tasks are used frequently when you generate wiring reports in Smart Instrumentation.
This topic lists all the reports that you can generate in the Wiring module.
Trace a Signal in a Point-to-Point Wiring Diagram
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.
Generate a Connection Report from the Connection Window
While in the Connection window, you can generate a connection report for the current terminal strip. The report lists all the cables connected to the selected terminal strip and shows all the cable-sets within each cable, the wire tags, their color, and terminal number. This report does not show adjacent connections.
Generate an I/O Tag Assignment Report
This option enables you to generate a report showing I/O assignments for an I/O card or I/O termination that you select in the I/O Assignment window.
Generate a Panel Strip Report from the Cross Wiring Window
This option enables you to generate a panel - strip report that displays the connections and adjacent connections for the terminal strip you selected from the Primary terminal strip list in the Cross Wiring window.
Display Channels and Wiring Equipment in Panel-Strip Reports
When generating a Panel-Strip report, it is possible to specify whether or not to display grouping of channels, wiring equipment, and I/O channels. To do so, you need to specify a set of parameters in the Custom preferences for wiring.
