Define and insert objects created in the database

Do the following:

  1. Create a new sheet in the E-0-Schematics-01-501.drw drawing by going, for example, to the second sheet and pressing Ctrl + PgUp.

  2. Define a location to the frame:

    1. In the Electrical window, select Devices (location) from the uppermost drop-down menu.

    2. In the project tree, right-click +MCC1 and select Set data of this location to the drawing frame, location boundary or marking.

    3. Select the drawing frame, and press Enter. The frame’s location information is automatically updated to =123+MCC1.

  3. Insert a location boundary to the drawing:

    1. In the project tree, right-click +Field and select Draw a location boundary into drawing.

    2. Draw a large boundary to the bottom part of the drawing.

      3. Text Description automatically generated with medium confidence

  4. Insert terminal blocks to the drawing:

    1. In the Devices (location) project tree, search for the X2 terminal strip either below location =123+MCC1 or with the search function.

    2. Right-click it, and select Insert terminal blocks of this strip in drawing.

    3. Define the settings as in the following image. Note that you must select the desired pins from the middle section with Shift or Ctrl.

    4. Click OK.

    5. Insert the terminal blocks to the drawing above the location boundary. Leave the distance between terminal blocks as 7 (raster jump with 3.5 x 2).

  5. Insert a device:

    1. In the project tree, search for the device M1 below +Field.

    2. Right-click, and select Insert an occurrence of this device into drawing. The Insert symbol dialog opens. The device does not have a symbol yet.

    3. Click Other symbol and select Schematic symbols, then select Motors > Motor menu > 3-phase motor.

    4. In the Symbol attributes dialog, click OK.

    5. Insert the motor symbol inside the +Field location boundary, right below the terminal blocks so that the terminal blocks and motor terminals align.

  6. Draw a busbar between the terminal strip and the motor:

    1. Select Schematics tab > Wiring group > Draw busbars.

    2. Define the settings as in the following image:

    3. Click OK.

    4. Draw the busbar by selecting L1 terminal as the first point, and go down to connect to motor M1 as the second point.

    5. Delete excess wires below L2 and L3.

  7. Define the cable and its wires in the drawing:

    1. In the Electrical window, select Wirings from the uppermost drop-down menu.

    2. Find 1W1, right-click it and select Connect and mark cable and its wires.

    3. Select the first point to be to the right of the busbar, then draw the line across to the left side.

    4. Accept the wire connections from the connection dialog.

      Note: Wire connections are done automatically. If there are terminal blocks with pin number PE or N, they are automatically connected to the PE and N wires. Wire connections can be changed in this dialog if the suggestions are not desirable.
