Using PLC code to generate a drawing

[Anonymous]

I have a customer that has PLC code for various Allen Bradley PLC's without any electrical I/O drawings. Is there a way to generate the I/O drawings using the PLC code in Electrical 2011?

Mark,

The short answer is yes.  Check out this link.  If you can export your PLC code into Excel, and massage it into the format Electrical needs, it can be done.

I have used ths method for drawing sets with a lot of I/O.  The first time around can be difficult, but once you get a working Excel template set up, it is a big time saver.

Hope this helps.
