A terminal schedule template that stays linked to the drawing

Spreadsheet terminal schedules are useful, but they are easy to let drift away from the drawing. Junction Box Designer uses one project dataset for both, so changing a terminal assignment or cable connection updates the information that feeds the schedule and diagram.

Useful terminal schedule fields

The generated schedule can include the physical rail, terminal number and type, incoming cable/core, incoming function/type, panel or terminal reference, description, outgoing cable/core, destination and link/bridge information. PE, screen and spare terminals remain identifiable rather than being mixed into normal signal rows.

Why rail information matters

A terminal number tells you what to look for; the rail tells you where to look. For boxes with two or more physical DIN rails, recording the rail helps the schedule mirror the real installation rather than acting as a flat list.

Turn the schedule into a commissioning sheet

The Site Sheet uses the same terminal information but adds blank sign-off columns for Field, JB, Panel and Final/Loop Test. A three-person team can therefore work from the same reference while checking the field device, junction box and panel ends of the circuit.

Export and print

Projects can be exported as JSON for backup or transfer. The schedule and site sheet are designed for browser printing or Save as PDF, with A4/A3 paper choices available in the document views.

Create a terminal schedule from your own JB

Add your cables and cores once, then use the Terminal Schedule and Site Sheet views for printable outputs.
