This option shows you how to create a new single loop number, in the Domain Explorer, and add it to your database.

  1. On the Domain Explorer, expand your current <plant> hierarchy to display the Loops folder.

  2. Right-click the Loops folder and select New > Loop.

  3. On the New Loop Number dialog, type the name of the new loop number. For an explanation of the segments of a loop number see Loop Number Naming Convention.

  4. On the Loop Number Properties dialog, define the properties you want to associate with the loop number and select OK.

  5. When prompted to create a new tag number, and associate it with the current loop, do one of the following:

    • Select Yes if you want to create a tag number at this stage and associate it with the new loop.

    • Select No if you only want to create a loop number. Then, follow the current procedure from Step 7.

  6. On the New Tag Number dialog, type the tag number and select OK.

  7. On the Select Instrument Type dialog, select your instrument type and select OK.

    The Tag Number Properties dialog opens where you can define the general properties for your tag number.

  8. Select OK.

  • The data field in the New Loop Number dialog displays the loop name template that is based on the loop naming convention defined by the Domain Administrator. In the alphanumeric and the numeric parts of the name, you can type any character (letters, digits, spaces, and so forth). You can customize the loop name template but only the Domain Administrator can change the naming conventions. For more details see Customize New Loop Numbers Dialog.

  • You can define a functional requirement while creating a new loop. For details, see Define a Functional Requirement for a Loop.
