Select Style 2 as the graphic style for your plc module.In the PLC Database File Editor dialog box, click Style Box Dimensions.The Style Box Dimensions dialog box defines the module box dimensions (such as the offset values and line properties) based upon the style number used when the PLC was created. A value of 0.0 puts the particular I/O point at the same location as the preceding one. A value of 1.5 inserts the point down an extra half rung spacing. For example, a 2 for a given entry inserts this point down two times the rung spacing instead of a full rung spacing.

When a Spacing Factor is specified, AutoCAD Electrical sees this spacing factor value on any terminal type I/O point or wire connection entry line, it uses a factor of the rung spacing. When AutoCAD Electrical generates a PLC module, it uses the current rung spacing for I/O and wire connection point spacing.

You can trigger AutoCAD Electrical to prompt for a new beginning address number when the parametric build flips from inputs to outputs or vice versa. Make sure all of the terminals are set to Optional Re-prompt: No.In the PLC Database File Editor dialog box, make sure all of the terminals are set to Show: Always.This gives flexibility to how a module is represented.

When this toggle is selected, all entries marked with "Show: When Excluding Unused" are skipped. When this toggle is not selected, all terminal entries marked as "Show: When Including Unused" in the PLC Database File Editor are skipped. When you build your PLC module on an AutoCAD Electrical drawing there is a choice inside the Module Layout dialog box to include unused/extra connections. Some modules may have terminals that are not used.
