PLC Documentation in Single-line Representation

To simplify the documentation of wiring and cabling for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in plants and machines, the single-line representation is often used. If bus systems are used, then a single-line schematic is the ideal page type for viewing bus topologies.

A PLC connection point in single-line display always represents a signal terminal. In contrast to multi-line representation, in the single-line representation of PLC connection points, the power connections are often not documented. The DT and the connection point number are important for the identification of a PLC connection point, on both multi-line and single-line schematic pages.

To represent bus topologies, a special connection point is available - the bus connection. The bus connections connect (e.g.) a master with several slaves. The connections are shown as single-line cables.
