A multidrop system configured to be installed within a motor control center (MCC) of an industrial automation system includes a trunkline. The trunkline includes multiple multidrop make and break devices connected through a trunkline cable. Each of the multidrop make and break device includes a first network component, and a second network component. The first network component is configured to form a first subnet over the trunkline. The second network component is configured to couple a MCC withdrawable unit and form a second subnet over a branchline that connects one or more nodes within the MCC withdrawable unit. The multidrop make and break device is configured to couple the MCC withdrawable unit to, and decouple the MCC withdrawable unit from, the second network component without disrupting the first subnet.

A method for generating assembly instructions may include receiving inputs from a user, such that the inputs may include an indication of components of a product package. The method may also include retrieving assembly attribute data for each component from a first storage component, such that the assembly attribute data includes information regarding compatibility properties between two or more of the plurality of components. The method may then involve retrieving model data for each component from a second storage component, such that the model data is representative of physical properties of a respective component. The method may also include generating the assembly instructions for assembling the components together based on the attribute data and the model data, such that the assembly instructions include visualizations representative of at least a portion of a process for assembling the plurality of components together. The assembly instructions are then presented via an electronic display.
