SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL
Creation of PLC in library of SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL
Creating a PLC in SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS and customizing the PLC according to our requirement.
And it can be added in the schematic diagrams for connections to the symbols like relay, Contactors, sensors, signals etc….
Creation of PLC has few steps to follow once the PLC is created, we can able to use the same PLC specifications for connections in the SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS
STEP 1
- To create a PLC first it must store in the library. Once it is created it will be always present inside unless until it is manually deleted
- To create a PLC as shown in the below image first have to goto Library -> Manufacturer part management.
STEP 2
Manufacturer part management
- Once the above points done.
- Manufacturer part management will consist of more number classifications(folders). In which all components are separated and kept in a different folder.
- Once PLC folder is selected only PLC related already presented manufacturer will be shown at the right side of the manufacturer part management tab.
- With the option ADD MANUFACTURER PART is selected new PLC can be added. And details to be filled in a different tab.
STEP 3
New PLC details adding
- Once the above points done.
- A Manufacturer part properties tab will be opened.
- In this section three options will be present PROPERTIES, USER DATA, CIRCUIT, TERMINALS
- In the properties tab details like reference and manufacturer should be filled compulsory and scrolling down the tab there will be another few specifications like height, weight, frequencies, supplier name etc…to be filled manually which are optional.
STEP 4
Specifications of Circuit, Terminal
- With continuation of above points
- Third option is the CIRCUIT, TERMINAL option where the circuite types can be added
- At the top circuit, terminal option will be present near to the properties tab.
- In this tab, circuits can be added with ADD option.
- If multiple circuits to be added that can be done with ADD MULTIPLE option as shown in the image below
STEP 5
Add Multiple Circuits
- As shown in the image below multiple circuits can be added in a easy and fast way.
- All circuits type are present in the scroll down. Based on our requirement circuits can be selected.
Summary
- With these above-mentioned points we can able to create a PLC in a solidworks electrical.
- Once these points are completed new PLC will be created which will also be present in solidworks electrical library.
