Is there a standard or guideline to wire labeling?
I have some experience as control engineer , an depending on the PLC brand being used we change the label nomenclature (IX.Y for siemens, I:XX/YY for AB, etc)
It had worked just fine with small to medium projects. Now that we are working in bigger projects, we have had some throuble when using remote i/o (EIP, PN, PB, IOL) with the CompactLogix family, because it doesn't use the same addressing as the MicroLogix, so the label is only used to identify the wires and sensors.
Some time ago, i tried to implement only one nomenclature (based on siemens), but one engineer told me that it was for Siemens, and had to change it back to AB.
I have seen drawings of some machines that came from europe (Germany in general), and noticed they idetinfied any module with a letter and the page number, and then refer to the inputs with a subindex.
Is there a standard to do that?
I know it's easier when you use the addressing on the PLC, but you have to change everything if you change the PLC or the i/o module address.
