Rename the file I have attached from ACE_PLC_be.ZIP to ACE_PLC_be.MDB. Make a backup of your existing ACE_PLC.MDB file, located at the following path, unless you moved it to your network:Ĭ:\Users\Your User Name\Documents\Acade 2017\AeData\en-US\Plc Hopefully you have Microsoft Office Pro installed, so you have MS Access available. The file is too large, plus I have added other devices to mine, such as PILZ, Beckoff, etc., making it a bit larger I will attach a split version of my database that contains only the two tables needed for the AB 1766 MicroLogix 1400 series. The second example is basically the same as the first but with a larger network with multiple DLR's.Uploading the entire database is probably not an option here. Sometimes I have to include more it depends on what the customer is wanting, and/or how we have to integrate into an existing plant network. In these examples, annotations are limited to the device tag, device location, and IP address.
For ring topologies, we name the cables DLR, and number them sequentially starting at the first one in the ring. For star topologies, we name the cables as ENET and add the number of the switch's port they're plugged in to. The reason is so we can have a meaningful name for the cables. When I draw these, I make every effort to accurately show which ports on the switch the connections are made on, even though this rarely matters. (If we ever use a different topology I guess I'll have to think something else up.one of the problems to deal with when there's no real standard to go by.) The difference is topology: if a device is part of a DLR (Device Level Ring), then I fillet all the corners. In addition, you'll see that some of the corners on the Ethernet cables are right angles while some are radiused (filleted). The symbols are all scaled down by a ridiculous amount so everything fits on an 11x17 plot.
As for those lines, they are all polylines, just a little extra insurance to keep ACADE from thinking they're wires and putting numbers on them. Whenever I can, I plot them out screened, so they appear grey, this is to help the lines depicting the Ethernet cables to pop out more. These symbols are 'dumb' and aren't connected in any way to the schematics or the panel layout. See the attached image, it's a plot preview of one of my network drawings. I feel like this approach is best, considering the lack of any sort of established library for these and the fact that you never know who's going to be using that drawing in the future.that person might know nothing about networking. I use footprint symbols to create my network drawings.
