Auto-Wire Pre-Assigned Junction Boxes - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

This procedure explains how to define and execute an auto - wiring task for a pre-assigned junction box. Note that you must pre-assign the required junction box and make all the required preparations prior to defining and executing a task.

You must pre-assign the required junction boxes and make all the required preparations prior to defining and executing a task.

1. Start the Wiring module.

2. On the menu bar, select Actions > Auto-Wiring.

3. In the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window, select the new task and select Actions > Edit Task .

   The Auto-Wiring Routing Task dialog opens where all the End 1 connection properties except for the Connection type and Overall shield terminal connection have been defined. You can accept the displayed values or modify them as needed.

4. On the Auto-Wiring Routing Task dialog, complete the End 1 connection definition as follows:

   1. Select the required connection type from Connection type list.

   2. If required, select the appropriate overall shield terminal connection.

5. In the End 2 connection group box, select one of the following options:

   • Select the Control system check box if you want to connect the pre-assigned junction box to a DCS or PLC cabinet. (For details, see Auto-Wire Control Systems.

   • Do not select the Control system check box to connect the pre-assigned junction box to another junction box or marshaling rack.

6. If you did not select the Control system check box, define the end 2 connection of the auto-wiring cable as follows:

   1. Select next to the Panel field to select the required panel.

   2. In the Domain Explorer, select a panel that contains at least one terminal strip with unconnected terminals and then select OK.

   3. Select a terminal strip from the Strip list.

   4. Select a terminal that will serve as the first terminal.

   5. Select a terminal side.

   6. Select a connection type.

   7. If required, select an appropriate overall shield terminal connection.

   8. Use the options in the Cable group box to define the cable that Smart Instrumentation will use to connect the two panels:

   9. From the Reference cable list, select the appropriate reference cable that Smart Instrumentation will use as the source for the creation of a cable that will connect the two panels. The software duplicates the new cable in the Domain Explorer.

   10. In the Cable name data field, accept or type the name of the cable that Smart Instrumentation will create to connect the two panels. The cable names suggested by the software are composed of the End 1 and End 2 panel names. Additional cables have their names incremented by one, for example XYZ.1, XYZ.2, and so forth.

   11. Select OK to complete the task definition and return to the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window.

7. In the Auto-Wiring Routing Task window, select .

• After notifying you that the task has been executed successfully, the task status changes to Done. For details, see Auto-Wiring Task Statuses.

• You can open the Connection window for the selected junction box to display the adjacent connection to make sure that the auto-wiring task has been executed correctly.
