Reference items are predefined typical items that you can use to create plant items for your plant in the Electrical Index with the minimum amount of manual data entry.
You create reference items in the Reference Data Explorer. You can create various types of electrical item, for example motors, cables, panels, junction boxes, control stations, and so on. Also, you can create typical cable block diagrams, typical schematic blocks, typical schematic drawings, I/O signals, profiles, and lookup tables. You can then create a plant item based on a reference item by simply dragging a reference item to an appropriate folder in the Electrical Index.
