In this scenario, you create a loop composite spec containing three sections: a loop section and two instrument sections. The two instrument sections include one for a control valve and the other for an I/P transducer. You use the library form Flow Loop Composite Style1 as a source for creating a new form and assigning a new composite spec page to this form.

  1. In the Instrument Index module, or using the Domain Explorer, create a loop with a control valve and I/P transducer.

  2. On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Form Editor.

  3. On the Form Editor menu bar, select Actions > Restore Form and then restore form Flow Loop Composite Style1 (form number 91).

    SHARED Tip When restoring the form, the software restores its page and the seven sections that this page includes. In this scenario, you need three of these sections to generate the current composite loop spec.

  4. On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Section Editor and modify the fields of the following sections as you require:

    • Flow Loop Composite Style1 (item type Loop)

    • Control Valve Style1 (item type Instrument)

    • I/P Transducer Style1 (item type Instrument)

  5. On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Edit > Page Editor.

  6. On the Page Editor menu bar, select Actions > New Composite Page.

  7. On the New Composite Page dialog, select Loop composite page.

  8. On the Select Sections for Composite Page dialog, under Multiply sections in generated spec, select From top to bottom, and then select the following sections:

    • Flow Loop Composite Style1

    • Control Valve Style1

    • I/P Transducer Style1

    SHARED Tip When you select a section multiplying option, you determine how the software multiplies sections in a generated composite spec. In a generated spec, if you assigned more than one instrument to a section, the software multiplies this section on the spec as many times as the number of assigned instruments. You set a section multiplying option only once and cannot change it after you open and save the current spec page in the Page Editor. This setting applies to all instrument sections you add in the current spec page.

  9. In the Page Editor working area, position the sections one under the other, with the loop section placed at the top.

  10. Save the page with the name Flow Loop Test.

  11. Open the Form Editor and select Actions > New Form, select the Flow Loop Test page for the form, and then name the new form as Flow Loop Test and specify a form number.

  12. On the Specifications Module window menu bar, select Actions > Open Specification and do the following:

    1. From the Item type list, select Loop.

    2. In the Item number box, enter the number of the loop you created.

    3. In the Form number box, enter the number of the Flow Loop Test form and select OK.

    4. On the New Composite Specification dialog, beside Control Valve Style1, select Assign and assign the current loop control valve to the Control Valve Style1 section.

    5. Beside I/P Transducer Style1, select Assign and assign the current loop I/P transducer to the I/P Transducer Style1 section.

    6. Select OK to generate and open a loop composite specification.
