Link Instrument Tag to Terminals

Sometimes when generating Loop Check Reports or CAD Loop Diagrams in Designer the actual instrument tag is not a field device, so Wiring Manager cannot find the terminals from where to start displaying the terminations from. For example, a tag may be a run contact from the MCC for a pump, or a set of interface terminals from a vendor supplied control cabinet.

In this situation, you can create a terminal strip (or DIN Rail with devices/relays), then use Wiring Manager's Link Tag to Instrument feature to make the instrument tag's terminals the selected terminals. Then, when Wiring Manager generates Loop Check Reports or CAD Loop Diagrams in Designer, the 'start' terminals are those linked to using this facility.
