Wiring Rule Definitions

In Wiring Manager, Wiring Rules may be created and edited. They may be used to automatically generate field device wiring. Refer to Using Wiring Rules for further information.

1. From the Project tab, select Setup, then select Wiring Rule Definitions.

   The Wiring Rules Definitions window is then displayed:

   

   This window contains a list of all Wiring Rules defined in the project database. Refer to Add a New Wiring Rule Definition for how to create a new Wiring Rule.

   When a rule name is clicked in the left-hand list, Wiring Manager will display a graphical representation of the rule in the pane to the right.

2. If required, use the facilities above the list to filter the number of rules displayed.

   Wiring Rules may be copied and edited to create new rules. This enables you to have a duplicate rule that use different cable types, for example one for Ex 'e' (explosion proof) cables and another for EX 'i' (intrinsically safe) cables.

   Refer to Copy Existing Wiring Rules and Edit Wiring Rule Definitions for how to copy and how to edit Wiring Rules.

   Wiring Rules may also be imported from another project. Refer to Import Wiring Rule Definitions for further information.

3. To delete a Wiring Rule, select it from the list and click Delete.
