Smart Electrical enables you to define various plant operational cases (modes). Typically, such a mode can be, for example, Winter Loads, Summer Loads, and so on. After defining an operational mode, you can, in one single operation, switch all the motors, instruments and cabinets to a mode that you select.
For this operation to work, you need to add new properties in user-defined fields for the alternate case (mode) load data, create appropriate rules in the Rule Manager, and define a filter in the Filter Manager. After you make all these definitions, you can select a specific operational mode that will trigger the copying mechanism in Smart Electrical, thus switching to the appropriate scenario. After switching to another operational mode, the software makes a global update of the relevant values that affect all the direct electrical calculations that use these values. You can see these values in the Properties window or the Common Properties dialog for specific electrical items.
Contact Smart Electrical technical support if you need help with the configuration of an operational case.
