Specifying the Operator Stations
Based on the requirements of the functional specifications, create drawings of the
operator stations. Include the following items:
• Overview showing the location of each operator station in relation to the
process or machine
• Mechanical layout of the devices (display, switches, lights, etc.) for the operator
station
• Electrical drawings with the associated I/O of the CPU or expansion module
Creating the Configuration Drawings
Based on the requirements of the functional specification, create configuration
drawings of the control equipment. Include the following items:
• Overview showing the location of each CPU in relation to the process or
machine
• Mechanical layout of the CPU and expansion I/O modules (including cabinets
and other equipment)
• Electrical drawings for each CPU and expansion I/O module (including the
device model numbers, communication addresses, and I/O addresses)
Creating a List of Symbolic Names
If you choose to use symbolic names for addressing, create a list of symbolic
names for the absolute addresses. Include not only the physical I/O signals, but
also the other elements to be used in your program.
