ELX StudioTrace electrical nets through device ports, wire junctions and explicit cross-sheet links. Plan terminal assemblies, map PLC channels to drawn I/O ports and keep physical equipment tied to its schematic representations.
All product workflowsThe drawing and the engineering lists describe the same project model.
Open Project lists for connections and I/O. Use Project setup for terminal assemblies and PLC racks.
Use these capabilities together as the drawing moves from layout to a reviewed project.
A wire can end at a device port, another wire or a junction. Connection dots make attachments visible. Empty ports remain connection points rather than invented wire records, and matching wire labels alone do not join unrelated nets.
Choose Set cross-reference on a wire, move to another sheet and select its continuation. The explicit link connects the net across sheets, including supply-layout wires. Destination labels update with drawing locations; choose the end on which the label appears.
A project device can appear as a coil and contacts, or in a schematic and a cabinet. Show wiring diagram follows that shared device identity to the appropriate drawing; several matches offer a chooser.
Assign exact drawn ports to strip positions and levels, record internal and external sides, and document explicit bridges. Review the assembly diagram and connection schedule. A shared level name by itself does not create an electrical connection.
Place existing controller and module devices in their declared order, record compatibility evidence and review known bus-current budgets. Map channel addresses to actual drawn I/O ports so the planner and PLC I/O list use the same information. Documented profiles cover selected exact models.
Telecom, pneumatic and hydraulic relationships remain separate from electrical nets. Document rack positions and cable pair or core assignments without turning every drawn line into an electrical conductor.
Inspect devices, connections, cables, terminals, PLC I/O, potentials and parts in Engineering. Search and sort the lists, follow drawing locations and use Tab to move through editable cells. Design checks flag possible issues, including open wires and conflicting designations.
Use the correct symbol or device and check its terminal names and connection points.
Attach wires, assign names or numbers where needed and link continuations across sheets.
Review connection endpoints, locations and design-check findings against the physical circuit.
