Every column, defined.
12 columns mapped to how a project cable schedule is issued for construction. Signal class is the only enforced field; cable construction, cores, and length stay free text so vendor specs fit.
#ColumnTypeDescription
01Cable NumberTextUnique cable identifier (C-101-001)
02Tag NumberTextInstrument tag the cable serves
03Instrument TypeTextISA letter group (FIT, PT, XV)
04Signal ClassListAI, AO, DI, DO, or N/A
05Signal TypeTextElectrical signal (4-20mA, 24V DC, fieldbus)
06From (Field)TextField origin (instrument tag or JB)
07To (Panel/JB)TextTermination destination (JB, marshalling, DCS)
08Cable TypeTextConstruction (1P 18AWG IS OS, 2C 16AWG)
09CoresNumNumber of conductors
10Length (m)NumRouted cable length in metres
11JB/TerminalTextTermination point (JB-101 / 1-2)
12NotesTextShielding, IS classification, comments
What ships in the file.
Signal-class dropdown
Enforced values: AI, AO, DI, DO, N/A. Aligns with the matching I/O list schema.
Auto-filter
Enabled on every column. Filter by JB, by signal type, by cable construction without a single formula.
Worked example
One filled row (C-101-001 serving FIT-101) shows the format for cable number, from / to, and termination point.
48 blank rows
Pre-formatted and ready to paste into. Extends without breaking the dropdown or filter range.
Length tracking
A dedicated Length (m) numeric column. A pivot returns total cable length in one cell.
Cross-tool
Plain .xlsx. Opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice. No macros, no add-ins.
Quiet signoff
A single mint-italic line at the bottom: Drag a P&ID at tagsight.io to fill this automatically. Easy to delete.
Tagsight reads the drawings, derives the cable count from each instrument loop, and returns the same 12-column schema this template defines. From / To, signal class, and signal type populate from the loop. Construction, cores, and length stay open for the cable engineer to fill from the cable specification.
Scanned drawings, CAD-exported PDFs, and image scans all work. ISA 5.1, KKS, IEC 81346, DIN, NORSOK, JIS, GOST, and in-house tag conventions read as drawn.
