This procedure explains how to create a new cross-wiring cable and use it in your current cross wiring operation. If you do not want to create your own cross-wing cables and let Smart Instrumentation create a cable for you, in the Cross Wiring window, select CROSS WIRE from the Cross-wiring cable list.

  1. Select File > Preferences.

  2. Expand the Wiring hierarchy in the tree view and select Cross Wiring.

  3. Under Automatic cross wiring, select one of the following options:

    • Different strips, same panel — Automatically cross-wires two signals between two different strips belonging to the same panel (this is the default selection).

    • Different panels (no DCS or PLC panels) — Automatically cross-wires signals between two strips belonging to two different panels in the current plant, except for strips with channels (that is, I/O cards).

    • Different panels including DCS or PLC panels (terminal sequence connection) — Automatically cross- wires signals between two strips belonging to two different panels in the current plant, including strips with channels where the connection will be done according to the terminal sequence that is shown in the dialog. Note that we do not recommend using the third option unless you are absolutely certain that this option will select matching signals. In any case, do not forget to change the setting back to the default (Different strips, same panel) when done.

  4. From the Default wire color list select the required wire color. Selecting a default wire color determines the cross-wire color in the Connection window.

    The wire color data in the list is retrieved from the Wire Color dialog.

  5. Select OK.
