Draw block diagrams

Single-line tab > Wiring group > Block diagram menu

With these functions, you can draw a block diagram with the cables in the project database, based on their From and To information. In addition, you can activate and deactivate cable types and target texts.

  • Block diagram – Draw a block diagram based on the project database: Select start point of the cable schema, and insert terminal box/device.

  • Deactivate cable target texts – Select elements from which to set the cable targets off.

  • Activate cable target texts – Select elements (= from green cross) from which to set the cable targets on.

  • Deactivate cable types

  • Activate cable types

Drawing is semi-automatic, i.e. the function does not insert all boxes / field devices and cables in the drawing at the same time, but the user may decide the positioning logic after a certain limit.

If there is a high number of cables and their targets, the diagram may be too large for the basic drawing frame. Then the schema must be divided to several sheets or fitted to a smaller area, or the drawing and its framework must be enlarged so that the drawing fits on one page.
