How to create new PLC style with NO & NC contacts?
See attached image of component which I want to create by using PLC database editor,is it possible to maintain same look of plc as shown in image?
Hi Apurva_123,
Its possible, there are several different methods that could work.
If you have a fixed size card (and tou have already created a Block of it), you can use the option to place a block instead of generating the Symbol in the PLC Editor. ( let me know and i'll grab a screenshot)
If you want to build an I/O point that lets you create multiple varation of the card then you need to edit the HP# Blocks (where # is the PLC Style)
(I'll use PLC Style 1 for the Examples Provided).
Based on the look of the device, you would likely need to create files based off of:
Horizontial
Module Info Output point Wire Left and Right (HP1DWAWL.dwg)
Output I/O Address wire Left and Right (HP1DWAW.dwg)
Vertical (If used)
Module Info Output point Wire Left and Right (VP1DWAWL.dwg)
Output I/O Address wire Left and Right (VP1DWAW.dwg)
I Addressed this in another post yesterday actually...lol.
As i stated yestrerday make copies of these files (the ones in Red) and change them to one of the unused Styles (5-9).
Last thing Make sure your page calls out the newly created PLC Style and you should be good to go.
If it has issues create the other 80-ish files as dummy files so it can referernce them for other cards.
I hope this helps,
