Hello Greg,
It sounds like you're looking to create a schematic or diagram that spans multiple pages, where components are interconnected across those pages. This is a common requirement in technical documentation and design software. The ability to create interconnected elements across different pages helps to maintain clarity and organization in complex designs.
Whether you can achieve this depends on the software you're using to design these diagrams. Many professional diagramming and design software tools offer features to create multi-page diagrams and keep elements interconnected. Here's how you might approach this:
1. **Choose the Right Software:** Use a software tool that supports multi-page diagrams and the ability to link elements across pages. Some popular options include AutoCAD, Visio, Altium Designer, and various circuit design software.
2. **Create Components:** Design your individual components, like the PLC digital input card and its inputs, as separate symbols or objects. Make sure these components are easily reusable.
3. **Organize Pages:** Create separate pages for different sections of your diagram. For example, you might have a "Main Page" showing the overview of the PLC digital input card and its inputs, and then separate pages for each individual input.
4. **Interconnect Components:** On each page, add the necessary components and interconnections. For the main page, you would show the overview of the PLC card and label the inputs. On the individual input pages, you would show the specific input and its connections.
5. **Cross-Page Links:** To maintain consistency and connectivity, use cross-page linking features provided by the software. These features allow you to create references or links between components on different pages, ensuring that changes made on one page are reflected on other pages.
6. **Labeling and Annotations:** Utilize labels, annotations, and callout features to make sure that connections and labels match across pages.
7. **Testing and Review:** Once you've created the diagram, make sure to thoroughly test and review it. Check that all the connections are accurately represented and that labels match up as intended.
Remember that the exact steps and features will depend on the software you're using. Consult the documentation or help resources for your chosen software to learn how to implement multi-page diagrams and interconnections.
If you provide more details about the specific software you're using or planning to use, I might be able to provide more tailored guidance.
