PLC I/O points can be inserted as independent symbols spread out over your drawing set. AutoCAD Electrical provides a small set of single I/O point library symbols that you can expand and modify to suit your needs.
The single, stand-alone PLC I/O symbols are in \Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Acade {version}\libs\{library}\.
The symbols do not follow the normal AutoCAD Electrical naming convention. Their file names must start with "PLCIO" in order for AutoCAD Electrical to find and process them along with the full PLC modules in the various BOM and PLC reports. The last three characters need not follow any naming convention.
Open each in AutoCAD and modify the appearance to suit your needs. Here are the file names of the default symbols:
