Smart Instrumentation Version
13.1

Spaces are not allowed in DeltaV tags, therefore, when publishing data, Smart Instrumentation removes spaces in instrument and Control System tags. You can specify a substitute character, such as an underscore, to replace the spaces; to do so, you must add the following line in the Intools.ini file under the [API] section:
NameSpacesReplacement = "_".

  1. In any Smart Instrumentation module, select Tools > Interfaces > DeltaV.

  2. On the DeltaV Interface dialog, under Data transfer mode, select Publish Smart Instrumentation data, and then select OK.

  3. On the Plant Controller Selection dialog, do one of the following:

    • To publish all relevant database fields for DeltaV, select the Select all check box.

    • For publishing of data associated with a given controller, select the Select check box next to that controller.

  4. On the Publish to File dialog, under Folder to save XML files, type the path for DeltaV publishing, and select OK to publish the .xml file for the first controller that you selected.

  5. For each additional controller that you selected in the Smart Instrumentation Plant Controller Selection dialog, when the Publish to File dialog reopens, select OK.

  • Smart Instrumentation publishes the data associated with each controller into a separate .xml file.

  • On publishing data other than for the first time, DeltaV identifies changes as follows:

    • The software identifies new items created in Smart Instrumentation as new items to be created in DeltaV.

    • If you move items, cards, CS tags, or if you modify item fields in Smart Instrumentation, the software identifies these as items to be updated in DeltaV.

    • The software identifies items deleted in Smart Instrumentation as items to be deleted in DeltaV.
