Greetings,
We have a piece of equipment that was purchased from and built by a company in Italy. The machine is located in the US. The machine itself is wonderful, but the electrical wiring diagrams supplied with the machine are drawn to a completely different standard than what the technicians we employ are familiar with.
Each page of the print has one or maybe two electrical devices. One relay will have one page. Each wire going to or from the relay will then reference a seperate page. Walking through a single circuit takes a considerable amount of page flipping and time.
We are planning on ordering another machine from the same company. I have the opportunity to assist in the Standard Specifications that we will send out to the manufacturer. Although requesting certain brand of components is easy, I'm not clear on how to lay out what we expect in terms of the wiring diagrams. I definitely want to spec out a more standard US style ladder diagram.
Are there resources that lay out how wiring diagrams should be drawn in the US? Is there a resource I could reference to to show what we expect? Am I making any sense at all?
