Equipment schedule

One row per placed symbol, read from the attributes of the blocks in the drawing: what is shown on the sheet, and the schedule attributes that were filled in but are not shown. BlockSync exports these same attributes from your own drawings.

Manufacturer, model and remarks are left empty on every block, ready for your data. The values are examples.

• Direct on lineA 7.5 kW motor started across the line: circuit breaker, contactor and thermal overload relay in the power circuit; stop and start buttons with a hold-in contact, and run and stop lamps in the control circuit.
• Forward and reverseA reversing starter for a 7.5 kW motor: two contactors that swap two phases, a shared stop button, separate forward and reverse buttons, and interlock contacts so that both contactors can never be on at once.
• Star-deltaA star-delta starter for a 15 kW motor: line, star and delta contactors, a motor with six terminals, an on-delay timer that changes over from star to delta, and interlock contacts so that star and delta can never be on together.
• Soft starterA soft starter for a 15 kW motor: breaker, line contactor, the soft starter drawn in single-line form with three-phase marks, a thermal overload relay and the motor, with a control circuit where the line contactor enables the soft starter and lights the run lamp.
• Variable frequency driveA 15 kW pump on a variable frequency drive: breaker, frequency converter, screened motor cable and motor, with the drive control terminals wired to a run switch, a speed potentiometer, a dual-channel emergency stop for safe torque off, the motor thermistor, two relay-output lamps and a panel ammeter.
• Drive with bypassA drive with a bypass: an input contactor, the converter and an output contactor on one branch, a bypass contactor with overload relay on the other, both feeding one 15 kW motor. A three-position selector, interlock contacts and the drive fault contact decide which branch runs.
• Two-speed motorA two-speed fan motor with a pole-changing winding: low-speed and high-speed contactors, each with its overload relay, a star-point contactor, the six motor terminals with two phases swapped at high speed, and a control circuit with a shared stop circuit, two start buttons and interlocks.
