Auto-wiring allows you to make automatic batch connections between specified terminal strips. This feature facilitates faster and more efficient wiring design especially when working on a grass-root project where the required wiring items already exist and you need to connect them. The essence of this feature is that you create an auto-wiring routing task where you define a cable that will connect two designated panels.

You can define an auto-wiring task for two different kinds of connection:

  • A connection between two existing panels.

  • A connection between a panel and a control system that will create cross wires or cross cables.

There are two prerequisites for auto-wiring routing tasks:

  • The required panels and terminal strips must already exist.

  • The required reference cables and connection types must be defined and ready for use.

Furthermore, for cross wiring auto-wiring routing tasks, you must also ensure the following before you start defining your task:

  • The required instrument tags and their device panels already exist and they are connected to their junction boxes.

  • There are instrument tags with pre-assigned I/O points – essential for cross-wiring tasks.

  • There are defined reference wiring profiles for the required instrument types.
