Cables cannot be connected to terminal strips before the connection type is defined. Terminal connection type defines how wires are to be connected to a terminal strip, which wire is connected to which terminal, and so forth. Read the Define a Connection Type section in the SmartPlant Instrumentation Detailed Engineering Users Guide document to learn about the connection type concept and how to create your own connection types. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use SmartPlant Instrumentation predefined connection types to connect our cables to the panels.

At this stage of the tutorial, you will connect the field wiring (field instruments) to the junction box. You will then connect the junction box to the field side of the marshaling rack. Subsequently, you will assign I/O tags to DCS cards and connect them to the DCS side of the marshaling rack. Once the sides are connected, you will perform an internal cross wiring within the marshaling rack between the field side terminals and the DCS side terminals.

In this set of procedures, you will make the wiring connections for three control loops
(101-F-100, 101-F-102, and 101-P-201). You will make the connections starting from the field devices and working through to the DCS in the control room. In the course of connecting the wires, you will observe how the software handles propagation.
