When an item, such as a loop, has KKS naming, and you perform tag number association, the software automatically propagates the loop naming to the associated tags. The software also propagates panel naming when you connect a cable to a panel.

Possible Source Item Type |
Example of Source Item Name |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Instrument |
All populated segments of the loop number |
Loop |
=1 LBA01 CF001 |
|
Cable |
All common and used process identification segments of the panel (the first system classification which comes in alphabetic order) |
Panel |
=1 LBA01 CF001 4120 (4120 is the cable numbering, which is entered manually) |
For a specific example of loop naming propagation, see Example of KKS Naming Propagation.
-
The software performs propagation according to hard-coded rules. Name segments that are not included in a propagation rule remain blank.
-
On connecting a cable to a panel, the KKS naming is propagated to the cable. On disconnection, the cable retains the name received by propagation until you reconnect it.
-
When editing a name using the KKS naming conventions, do not remove any segments from the name. Removing segments from the KKS name causes problems when creating new instruments. You can though add more segments to the KKS name created in Smart Instrumentation.
