Semiautomatic cross wiring enables you to find matching signals between two terminal strips (primary and secondary). That is, Smart Instrumentation can find for you a potential target for the signal that the software propagates after you perform cross wiring. You can then use this potential target to quickly effect the required cross wiring. The terminal that Smart Instrumentation finds for you in the secondary terminal strip is a recommendation only and you are free to accept it or select a different terminal, as you require.

  1. Press F7 open the Domain Explorer and select one or more terminal strips for potential cross wiring. You can also select a panel or several panels if required.

  2. Select Actions > Cross Wiring Cross Wire icon 16bit to open the Cross Wiring window.

  3. In the Cross Wiring window, select the required terminal strip from the Primary terminal strip list.

    SHARED Tip To add terminal strips that do not appear on the list, select beside the Primary terminal strip list arrow, select the required terminal strips in the Domain Explorer, then select OK to add them to the Primary terminal strip list.

  4. From the Secondary terminal strip list, select the required terminal strip that you want to cross wire.

    SHARED Tip To cross wire two terminal strips belonging to different panels where you did not select one of the panels in Domain Explorer, select beside the Secondary terminal strip list arrow, select the required terminal strip in the Domain Explorer and select OK to add it to the Secondary terminal strip list. Then, select that terminal strip from the Secondary terminal strip list for cross wiring.

  5. Under Secondary connection side, select Left or Right to select the appropriate side of the secondary terminal strip that you want to connect.

    SHARED Tip This option is not available if the current secondary terminal strip is a terminal strip with channels (belonging to a DCS or PLC panel). In this case, you can connect the left side only.

  6. From the Cross-wiring cable list, select one of the following to define a cross-wiring cable:

    • Select CROSS WIRE to cross wire the terminals with wires that the software creates during the cross-wiring process.

    • Select the required cross- wiring cable. If the cross wiring cable that you need is not on this list, select beside the list arrow to open the Domain Explorer. Select a cable and select OK to add it to the list. Note that you can also create a new cross wiring cable if the one you need does not exist in the Domain Explorer.

  7. Select the Prompt for cross operation message check box to be prompted by Smart Instrumentation to confirm the cross wiring. If you do not select this check box, cross wiring of the selected terminals proceeds without messages and Smart Instrumentation propagates all the existing signals.

  8. In the Primary Terminal Strip pane, select the required terminal to be cross-wired.

  9. Select View > Target Signal Target Signal Assign icon 16bit to find a matching target signal for potential cross wiring.

    Smart Instrumentation searches for a matching signal in the current <plant> and adds the terminals that it finds in the Secondary Terminal Strip pane. Smart Instrumentation indicates each of the potential terminals by placing an arrow PPM All Outputs Graphic beside it in the Secondary Terminal Strip pane.

  10. Select the required terminal in the Secondary Terminal Strip pane to cross wire with the selected terminal in the primary terminal strip.

  • For an example and information about the conventions used to represent various items and connections in the Cross Wiring window, select the Help icon on the main toolbar and then select the required link at the bottom of the help page.

  • In the Primary Terminal Strip pane, select the required cross-wired terminal, and then select Point-to-Point icon 16bit to open the Point-to-Point Wiring Diagram.

  • Select to open the Terminal Connection window. You can also double select to get the same result.

  • Select to remove the cross wiring between two terminals after selecting the cross- wired terminals (shown connected by a solid black line).

  • Select to generate a report that shows all the wiring connections of the primary strip on both sides.
