Inserting PLC modules
AutoCAD Electrical generates any of hundreds of different PLC I/O modules
on demand. The modules generate in various different graphical styles, all
without a single, complete I/O module library symbol resident on the system.
Modules adapt to the underlying ladder rung spacing, whatever that value is.
They can be stretched or broken into two or more pieces at insertion time.
To insert a PLC module, you select the module and pick a location. AutoCAD
Electrical builds and inserts the module, using a small set of library symbols.
