Associate Instrument Tag Numbers with Hook-Ups - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer, and expand the hierarchy to the hook-up type level in the Hook-Ups folder.

2. In the tree view pane, select the hook-up hierarchy root node to display all the existing hook-up types, and right-click one or more hook-up types.

   When selecting a hook-up type or several hook-up types, you can associate tags with multiple hook-ups that belong to different hook-up types. If you select a specific hook-up, you can only assign tag numbers to the selected hook-up.

3. On the shortcut menu, select Actions > Associate Tag Numbers with Hook-Ups.

4. Under Instrument type assigned to hook-up type, select an instrument type by which you want to filter tag numbers in the Available tag numbers pane.

   

   • In the dialog panes, you can double-click a column header to sort the items in ascending order. Double-click again to sort the items in descending order.

   • In the dialog panes, there is a vertical bar that you can drag to the right and view your data in a split display. To find the vertical bar, place the cursor to the left of the left scroll box arrow so that the cursor changes its shape as shown:
     .

   • Under Available tag numbers, tags displayed in italics indicate tags that are already assigned to another hook-up. You can still associates these tags with the current hook-up. Select the Hook-Ups button above the Available tag numbers pane to display tag numbers available for association with hook-ups and also display existing hook-up associations.

   • If the specified hook-up is assigned to a user-defined sub-library with pipe specs, the software filters the tag numbers so that only tag numbers with the appropriate pipe spec data are displayed. The software only displays tag numbers whose pipe spec data fits the pipe specs assigned to the sub-library to which the hook-up belongs.

   • You can display the available tag numbers either on the highest or lowest level of your plant hierarchy defined by the Domain Administrator. The default highest level is Plant. The default lowest level is Unit.

5. Under Available tag numbers, select one or more tags and do one of the following:

   • Select Associate.

   • Drag the selected tags to the Associated tag numbers pane.

   Electrical tags created in Smart Instrumentation cannot be associated with a Hook-Up even if the instrument type SPEL has been associated with the Hook-Up type. The SPEL instrument type is only for use with items retrieved from Smart Electrical in an integrated environment.

6. If you selected more than one hook-up or hook-up type in the Domain Explorer, select Next and make associations for another hook-up.

In the Associated tag numbers pane you can select to include specific tags in a Bill of Material (BOM), or not to display the tag the next time you open the dialog, or when you generate a CAD or Enhanced Utility Report Hook-Up drawing.
