Wiring Map — Allen-Bradley PLCs
Find Any Terminal
in Your I/O Configuration
Upload your Allen-Bradley file and see every I/O terminal grouped by module, slot, and channel. Add wire labels to document panel connections, then share or print for field technicians—no Studio 5000 required.
- The wiring map reads your I/O module configuration and shows each terminal assignment, grouped by rack, slot, and channel.
- Every terminal displays the tag name, signal type (DI, DO, AI, AO), and an editable wire label field for documenting panel connections.
- It is a terminal-assignment table derived from your PLC file, not a graphical electrical schematic diagram.
- Works on Allen-Bradley ACD and L5X files from Studio 5000, and RSS files from RSLogix 500.
What the Wiring Map
Can Do
Terminal Assignment Table
Every I/O terminal is listed with its module location, slot, channel, tag name, and signal type (DI, DO, AI, AO) in one searchable reference.
Editable Wire Labels
Add descriptive notes to each terminal to document where it goes, what it controls, or any panel-specific wiring details.
Grouped by Module
Terminals are organized by rack and slot, making it fast to find what is wired where and see the module layout at a glance.
Signal Type Breakdown
Each terminal shows whether it is a Digital Input (DI), Digital Output (DO), Analog Input (AI), or Analog Output (AO).
Multi-File Support
Works with ACD and L5X files from Studio 5000, RSS files from RSLogix 500, and any file that exports the I/O configuration.
Export and Share
Print or export the terminal map as a document to keep in your panel cabinet, email to technicians, or attach to work orders.
What is the PLC Wiring Map?
The wiring map is a terminal assignment reference tool built on top of your parsed Allen-Bradley program. When you upload a file, the tool reads every I/O module and terminal assignment from the program. You then see a table that lists each terminal with:
- The module type, rack, and slot location
- The channel number (starting from 0)
- The tag name assigned to that terminal
- The signal type: DI (Digital Input), DO (Digital Output), AI (Analog Input), or AO (Analog Output)
- An editable wire label field for documenting the panel terminal or connection destination
In our testing, the most useful part is the searchability and wire labels: you can find where a tag is wired without scrolling through the I/O module list in Studio 5000, and you can add notes about physical connections so technicians at the panel can verify wiring without opening the program. It answers the field tech's most common question: where is this terminal?
How to Map Your PLC Terminals
Upload your PLC file
Upload your Allen-Bradley ACD, L5X, or RSS file. The tool parses the I/O module configuration automatically.
Open the wiring map
Navigate to the Wiring Map feature to see all I/O terminals and their assignments grouped by module, slot, and channel.
Add wire labels
Click the wire label field for each terminal and document where it goes, what it controls, or any panel-specific notes.
Share with your team
Export, print, or share the map with field technicians so they can verify connections at the panel without opening the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PLC wiring map?
A terminal assignment table that shows every I/O terminal in your program, grouped by module, rack, and slot. For each terminal it displays the tag name, signal type (DI, DO, AI, AO), and a field where you can add wire labels to document where the connection goes.
How is the wiring map different from an electrical schematic?
The wiring map is a terminal-assignment reference table, not a drawn schematic diagram. It takes your I/O module configuration and turns it into a searchable list of physical terminals so a technician at the panel can find where a tag is wired. It answers 'where is this terminal' not 'what is the circuit'.
Can I edit the wire labels?
Yes. You can add notes to the wire label field for each terminal to document connections, connections, or panel locations without changing your program file. The labels are for reference only and stay with your uploaded project.
Which PLC files does the wiring map support?
The wiring map works with ACD and L5X files from Studio 5000 (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix) and RSS files from RSLogix 500 (SLC 500, MicroLogix). It reads the I/O module configuration from any supported file type.
Can I export or print the wiring map?
Yes. You can export the terminal map as a reference document to share with your maintenance team or keep with your panel documentation. It helps field techs verify physical connections without needing access to the program.
