Hello folks! Never been here before but I have a question that's been bugging me for a while. I recently got a job at a chemical plant that's been around for quite a while. Long story short is there hasn't always been a norm for electrical diagrams. It's an absolute rat's nest of pipes and conduit everywhere and we normally deal with instruments/solenoids and the like controlled or transmitting to PLC's. I've always wondered when we don't know where something connects in the field (which can be quite frequent) why we don't just get like 1/8 mile of wire and ohm it out with a meter. Is there something wrong with my thinking? Thanks for any insight!
