In SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic, accurately assigning Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) addresses is critical for system functionality and documentation. SOLIDWORKS Electrical offers tools to automate the calculation and management of terminal addressing. For teams designing with PLCs, the ability to automatically generate PLC addresses, such as slot, channel, and module data, saves time and significantly reduces human error. SOLIDWORKS Electrical includes built-in tools to help automate this process, eliminating the need for repetitive manual data entry while maintaining internal design standards. A lot of users only need a symbol representation of PLCs in their schematics, but there are those who need to drive more details, such as the physical address and channel information within a schematic.

Join SOLIDWORKS Electrical expert, Alaa Hosn, for a breakdown of how SOLIDWORKS Electrical looks at the physical address and how this is used in the channel address. This information can then be pushed over to other components in the design that need to maintain an association. By configuring these elements appropriately, users can ensure that their PLC addressing aligns with any internal standards quickly and easily. Join this webinar and see how your team can take advantage of the PLC functionality in SOLIDWORKS Electrical to streamline your designs!

In this SOLIDWORKS Electrical webinar, you will learn:

• Physical address and channel address breakdown

• Customizing the formula for channel address

• Pushing channel data to connected terminals
