Loop Wiring

Instrumentation Engineer can auto-create the field device, terminals, cables, their cores and wire numbers and terminate cable cores at both the field device and Junction box ends of cables based on assigned wiring rule for each specific Loop instrument.

This effectively completes field wiring in an efficient and simple manner, which may save hundreds on man-hours on a large Project.

Notes: The PC must have a license for the Instrument Wiring Manager application for this feature to be available in Instrumentation Engineer.

Although Wiring Rules can be used to create field cables/terminations in Instrumentation Engineer, this is limited to working on a tag by tag or Loop by Loop basis. It is recommended to create field wiring using Wiring Rules from the Instrument Wiring Manager's Equipment View or Cable Block Diagram facilities by assigning (allocating) field tags to Junction Boxes, which is more efficient than doing it in Instrumentation Engineer for each tag and Loop.
