I'm starting a large project using a Beckhoff controller and I/O. Their modules are what I'd call the "slice" style, similar to Wago and others, where you can create different nodes and there's no defined "slot" for each slice. Some terminals, like those that that break and supply the backplane bus, don't even have any I/O. I'm wondering what is the best way to represent all this on an electrical drawing? At the moment I'm thinking of using a diagram to indicate how the different components should be assembled, then a separate schematic that actually shows connections. I'm planning to assign node and slot numbers, simply because it's the only way I can think of to keep things organized when it comes to wire numbers, addresses, etc. I'd be interested in seeing examples of how others have handled this.
