These are the twiddling little details that have filled my stomache with ulcers and emptied my head of hair over the years...
I've started using remote IO, and for my schematic, I decided to represent the IO module with a modified version of it's ACAD drawing, as shown below
Now, I need to represent the coils coming off the outputs. I have always thought that coils should be represented with the positive side up on the drawing. However, the pin-out of the module is the reverse, leaving me with this -
- which I hate. However I design the lines, it's still ugly, and confusing at first glance.
Now, I'm not willing to change the pin-out of the module, since the pins are in their actual orientation. That leaves reversing the polarity of the coil -
- which is neat and clean, but I am bending the rule about coil orientation.
Sooooo... what would you do? Any suggestions/critiques? In all other respects, this is a standard IEC schematic.
Thanks!
